Dua when exiting to go outside

abudawud:5094Muslim b. Ibrāhīm > Shuʿbah > Manṣūr > al-Shaʿbī > Um Salamah

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ never went out of my house without raising his eye to the sky and saying:

allāhumma innī aʿūdhu bika an aḍilla aw uḍall, aw azilla aw uzall, aw aẓlima aw uẓlam, aw ajhala aw yujhala ʿalayya.

(O Allah, I seek refuge in You lest I go astray or be led astray, lest I slip or be made to slip, lest I wrong others or be wronged, or lest I act ignorantly or ignorance be shown toward me.)

أبو داود:٥٠٩٤حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَتْ

مَا خَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِنْ بَيْتِي قَطُّ إِلاَّ رَفَعَ طَرْفَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَقَالَ:

«اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أَضِلَّ أَوْ أُضَلَّ، أَوْ أَزِلَّ أَوْ أُزَلَّ، أَوْ أَظْلِمَ أَوْ أُظْلَمَ، أَوْ أَجْهَلَ أَوْ يُجْهَلَ عَلَىَّ».

Dua when leaving your home

abudawud:5095Ibrāhīm b. al-Ḥasan al-Khathʿamī > Ḥajjāj b. Muḥammad > Ibn Jurayj > Isḥāq b. ʿAbdullāh b. Abū Ṭalḥah > Anas b. Mālik

The Prophet ﷺ said: "When a man goes out of his house and says:

bismi Allāhi tawakkaltu ʿalā Allāhi, lā ḥawla wa-lā quwwata illā bi-Allāh

(In the name of Allah, I trust in Allah; there is no might and no power but in Allah)

the following will be said to him at that time: "You are guided, defended and protected." The devils will go far from him and another devil will say: How can you deal with a man who has been guided, defended and protected?"

أبو داود:٥٠٩٥حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْخَثْعَمِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ: «إِذَا خَرَجَ الرَّجُلُ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ فَقَالَ:

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللَّهِ لاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ

قَالَ: «يُقَالُ حِينَئِذٍ: هُدِيتَ وَكُفِيتَ وَوُقِيتَ، فَتَتَنَحَّى لَهُ الشَّيَاطِينُ، فَيَقُولُ لَهُ شَيْطَانٌ آخَرُ: كَيْفَ لَكَ بِرَجُلٍ قَدْ هُدِيَ وَكُفِيَ وَوُقِيَ؟».
