Hadith 463
۞
463. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Sinan, from Ismail Bin Jabir who said
I was in the presence of Abu Abdullah (asws) at Makkah when a messenger from Al-Medina came to him (asws). So he (asws) said to him: ‘Who did you come with?’ He said, ‘I had no one to accompany me’. Abu Abdullah (asws) said to him: ‘But, if I (asws) had come to see you, I (asws) would have educated you of well manners’. Then said: ‘One is a Satan (la), and two are Satans (la), and three are a company, and four are friends’.
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ قَالَ
كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) بِمَكَّةَ إِذْ جَاءَهُ رَسُولٌ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَقَالَ لَهُ مَنْ صَحِبْتَ قَالَ مَا صَحِبْتُ أَحَداً فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) أَمَا لَوْ كُنْتُ تَقَدَّمْتُ إِلَيْكَ لَأَحْسَنْتُ أَدَبَكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَاحِدٌ شَيْطَانٌ وَ اثْنَانِ شَيْطَانَانِ وَ ثَلَاثٌ صَحْبٌ وَ أَرْبَعَةٌ رُفَقَاءُ.
