The ruling on a man traveling alone

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
My brother Awadh is still with us on the line, brothers. The one who left, okay, okay, the connection was cut off. In the hadith
A single rider is a devil, and a pair of riders are a pair of devils, but three are a company of riders.يا شيخ الراكب شيطان والراكبان شيطانان والثلاثة ركب
Sunan Abi Dawud 2607Hasan (Al-Albani)
, what is meant by this? And if a person is compelled to go alone on a long journey?

Answer:
It is not permissible for him to go alone because he is in danger. If he falls ill or gets injured, who will take care of him? He must have someone with him to look after him, protect him, and defend him. Also, two travelers are two devils, because if they quarrel and a fight breaks out between them, who will mediate between them? So there is danger in that. As for three, they are a caravan, and there is no harm in that. There is no harm in that. A person does not travel alone except with a group. Yes.
