4-82 Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Attar - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Sa’ed ibn Abdullah quoted Ahmad ibn Aba Abdullah, on the authority of Al-Hussein ibn Sayf, on the authority of his brother Ali ibn Sayf, on the authority of his father Sayf ibn Umayrih, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Musa, on the authority of someone from the progeny of Nofl ibn al-Mutalib, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Abi Ja’far al-Baqir (MGB) that God’s Prophet (MGB) said, “
The companions (on a trip) most loved by the Honorable the Exalted God are four. They will talk a lot and make too much noise if they are more than seven.”
