Hallowed is He Who subdued for us this (ride) and we were not ourselves powerful enough to use It as a ride, and we are going to return to our Lord. O Allah, we seek virtue and piety from Thee in this journey of ours and the act which pleaseth Thee. O Allah, lighten this journey of ours, and make its distance easy for us. O Allah, Thou art (our) companion during the journey, and guardian of (our) family. O Allah, I seek refuge with Thee from hardships of the journey, gloominess of the sights, and finding of evil changes in property and family on return. And he (the Holy Prophet) uttered (these words), and made this addition to them: We are returning, repentant, worshipping our Lord. and praising Him. (Using translation from Muslim 1342)   

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا اسْتَوَى عَلَى بَعِيرِهِ خَارِجًا إِلَى سَفَرٍ كَبَّرَ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ قَالَ {سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِينَ وَإِنَّا إِلَى رَبِّنَا لَمُنْقَلِبُونَ} [الزخرف 14] اللهُمَّ إِنَّا نَسْأَلُكَ فِي سَفَرِنَا هَذَا الْبِرَّ وَالتَّقْوَى وَمِنَ الْعَمَلِ مَا تُحِبُّ وَتَرْضَى اللهُمَّ هُوِّنْ عَلَيْنَا سَفَرَنَا وَاطْوِ عَنَّا بُعْدَهُ اللهُمَّ أَنْتَ الصَّاحِبُ فِي السَّفَرِ وَالْخَلِيفَةُ فِي الْأَهْلِ اللهُمَّ إِنَّا نَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَعْثَاءِ السَّفَرِ وَكَآبَةِ الْمُنْقَلَبِ وَسُوءِ الْمَنْظَرِ فِي الْأَهْلِ وَالْمَالِ قَالَ وَإِذَا رَجَعَ قَالَهُنَّ وَزَادَ فِيهِنَّ آئِبُونَ تَائِبُونَ لِرَبِّنَا حَامِدُونَ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ حَجَّاجٍ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ اللهُمَّ إِنَّا نَسْأَلُكَ فِي مَسِيرِنَا هَذَا وَلَمْ يَقُلْ تُحِبُّ وَقَالَ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَعْثَاءِ السَّفَرِ وَكَآبَةِ الْمَنْظَرِ وَسُوءِ الْمُنْقَلَبِ وَزَادَ عَابِدُونَ لِرَبِّنَا حَامِدُونَ وَالْبَاقِي مِثْلُهُ  

ʿAbdur-Razzaq said. Someone who saw ʿAli when he rode told me: When he put his foot in the stirrup, he said: Bismillah (in the Name of Allah). When he got on it, he said: Al-Hamdu Lillah (praise be to Allah). Then he said: ʿGlory be to the One Who has placed this (transport) at our service and we ourselves would not have been capable of that, and to our Lord is our final destiny [az-Zukhruf 43:13-14]ʿ. Then he said Al-hamdu Lillah three times and Allahu Akbar three times, then he said: O Allah, there is no god but You. I have wronged myself, so forgive me; no one forgives sins but You. Then he smiled, and it was said: What made you smile, O Ameer al-Muʿmineen? He said: I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ do what I have done and say what I have said, then he smiled and we said: What made you smile, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ? He said: ʿI was amazed at the slave when he said there is no god but You. I have wronged myself, so forgive me; no one forgives sins but You,” and he knows that no one forgives sins but He.” (Using translation from Aḥmad 930)   

أَنَّهُ شَهِدَ عَلِيًّا ؓ حِينَ رَكِبَ فَلَمَّا وَضَعَ رِجْلَهُ فِي الرِّكَابِ قَالَ بِاسْمِ اللهِ فَلَمَّا اسْتَوَى قَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ {سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِينَ وَإِنَّا إِلَى رَبِّنَا لَمُنْقَلِبُونَ} [الزخرف 14] ثُمَّ حَمِدَ ثَلَاثًا وَكَبَّرَ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي إِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ ثُمَّ ضَحِكَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ مَا يُضْحِكُكَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ؟ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَعَلَ مِثْلَ مَا فَعَلْتُ وَقَالَ مِثْلَ مَا قُلْتُ ثُمَّ ضَحِكَ فَقُلْنَا مَا يُضْحِكُكَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ؟ قَالَ الْعَبْدُ أَوْ قَالَ عَجِبْتُ لِلْعَبْدِ إِذَا قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا هُوَ  

[Machine] If a man rides a beast and does not mention the name of Allah, the devil will ride with him and say to him, "Sing, and if he does not respond, he will say to him, 'Make a wish, for you are stuck.'"  

إِذَا رَكِبَ الرَّجُلُ الدَّابَّةَ فَلَمْ يَذْكُرِ اسْمَ اللهِ رَدِفَهُ الشَّيْطَانُ فَقَالَ لَهُ تَغَنَّ فَإِنْ لَمْ يُحْسِنْ قَالَ لَهُ تَمَنَّ مَوْقُوفٌ  

[Machine] We carried the messenger of Allah, ﷺ , on camels from the camels of charity, which were weak for the purpose of Hajj. So we said, "O Messenger of Allah, we do not think it is appropriate for you to be carried on these." He said, "There is no camel except that there is a devil upon its hump, so remember the name of Allah when you mount it, as He has commanded you. Then take care of it yourselves, for no one carries Allah.  

حَمَلَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى إِبِلِ مِنْ إِبِلِ الصَّدَقَةِ ضِعَافٍ لِلْحَجِّ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا نَرَى أَنْ تَحْمِلَنَا هَذِهِ فَقَالَ مَا مِنْ بَعِيرٍ إِلَّا عَلَى ذِرْوَتِهِ شَيْطَانٌ فَاذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللهِ إِذَا رَكِبْتُمُوهَا كَمَا أَمَرَكُمْ ثُمَّ امْتَهِنُوهَا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ فَإِنَّمَا يَحْمِلُ اللهُ
