Not to go on a journey alone...

1 hadith
عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَمَّنْ ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى (عليه السلام) عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ (عليهما السلام) فِي وَصِيَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) لِعَلِيٍّ (عليه السلام) لَا تَخْرُجْ فِي سَفَرٍ وَحْدَكَ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ مَعَ الْوَاحِدِ وَ هُوَ مِنَ الِاثْنَيْنِ أَبْعَدُ يَا عَلِيُّ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ إِذَا سَافَرَ وَحْدَهُ فَهُوَ غَاوٍ وَ الِاثْنَانِ غَاوِيَانِ وَ الثَّلَاثَةُ نَفَرٌ قَالَ وَ رَوَى بَعْضُهُمْ سَفْرٌ.
465. A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from his father, from the one whom he mentioned: Abu Al-Hassan Musa عليه الصلاة والسلام has narrated from his عليه الصلاة والسلام father عليه الصلاة والسلام, from his عليه الصلاة والسلام grandfather عليه الصلاة والسلام regarding the will of the Rasool Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم to Ali عليه الصلاة والسلام: ‘Do not go out alone on a journey for the Satan (la) would be with the loner, and he (la) is (also) with the two but further away. O Ali عليه الصلاة والسلام! If the man travels alone he is misguided, and two are (also) misguided, and the three is a group’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And some of them are reporting: ‘For travelling’.
