[Machine] "He used to depart to Al-Bat'ha in Dhul-Hulayfah after completing the Hajj or Umrah. This was the place where the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to untie his Ihram."  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا صَدَرَ مِنَ الْحَجِّ أَوِ الْعُمْرَةِ أَنَاخَ بِالْبَطْحَاءِ الَّتِي بِذِي الْحُلَيْفَةِ الَّتِي كَانَ يُنِيخُ بِهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was seen in Mu'arrasah of Dhul-Hulayfah in the belly of the valley. It was said to him, "You are in a blessed spot." He said, "May Moses be safe, for Abdullah ibn Umar was frequently wishing to see the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in this spot below the mosque, which is between it and the road." This is the wording of the hadith of Abu Abdullah.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أُرِيَ فِي مُعَرَّسِهِ مِنْ ذِي الْحُلَيْفَةِ فِي بَطْنِ الْوَادِي فَقِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّكَ بِبَطْحَاءَ مُبَارَكَةٍ قَالَ مُوسَى وَقَدْ أَنَاخَ سَالِمٌ بِالْمَنَاخِ الَّذِي كَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ يُنِيخُ بِهِ يَتَحَرَّى مُعَرَّسَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ أَسْفَلُ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ الَّذِي بِبَطْنِ الْوَادِي الَّذِي بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الطَّرِيقِ وَسَطًا مِنْ ذَلِكَ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ  

[Machine] I heard Muhammad ibn Ishaq al-Madini saying, "The distance of the wedding is six miles from the city."  

سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ إِسْحَاقَ الْمَدِينِيَّ يَقُولُ الْمُعَرَّسُ عَلَى سِتَّةِ أَمْيَالٍ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ  

[Machine] He used to follow the footsteps of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and pray in them. When the Prophet ﷺ once stopped under a tree, Ibn Umar would pour water for him underneath it so that it would not dry up.  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَتْبَعُ آثَارَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَيُصَلِّي فِيهَا حَتَّى إنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَزَلَ تَحْتَ شَجَرَةٍ فَكَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ يَصُبُّ الْمَاءَ تَحْتَهَا حَتَّى لَا تَيْبَسَ  

The Prophet ﷺ said: If any one of you greets me, Allah returns my soul to me and I respond to the greeting. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2041)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيَّ إِلَّا رَدَّ اللهُ إِلِيَّ رُوحِي حَتَّى أَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامَ  

[Machine] Peace be upon you, O Messenger of Allah. Peace be upon you, O Abu Bakr. Peace be upon you, O my father.  

السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَبَتَاهُ  

[Machine] Abdullah bin Umar stands at the grave of the Prophet ﷺ, then he gives his greeting to the Prophet ﷺ and supplicates. Then he supplicates for Abu Bakr and Umar.  

عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ يَقِفُ عَلَى قَبْرِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ ثُمَّ يُسَلِّمُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَيَدْعُو ثُمَّ يَدْعُو لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ ؓ  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Whoever visits my grave or says, 'Whoever visits me, I will be an intercessor or witness for him,' and whoever dies in one of the two holy mosques, Allah will raise him on the Day of Resurrection among the safe ones." This is an unknown chain of narration.  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ زَارَ قَبْرِي أَوْ قَالَ مَنْ زَارَنِي كُنْتُ لَهُ شَفِيعًا أَوْ شَهِيدًا وَمَنْ مَاتَ فِي أَحَدِ الْحَرَمَيْنِ بَعَثَهُ اللهُ فِي الْآمِنِينَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ هَذَا إِسْنَادٌ مَجْهُولٌ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever performs the Hajj and then visits my grave after my death, it is as if he visited me during my lifetime." 10275 And Abu Sa'ad al-Malini informed us. I am Abu Ahmad bin Adi al-Hafith. I am al-Hasan bin Sufyan. Ali bin Hujr narrated to us. Hafs bin Sulaiman narrated to us. And Abu Ahmad narrated to us. Abdallah bin Muhammad al-Baghawi narrated to us. Abu al-Rabi' al-Zahrani narrated to us. Hafs bin Abi Dawood mentioned it separately, and he is weak.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ حَجَّ فَزَارَ قَبْرِي بَعْدَ مَوْتِي كَانَ كَمَنْ زَارَنِي فِي حَيَاتِي 10275 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعْدٍ الْمَالِينِيُّ أنا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ الْحَافِظُ أنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ ثنا حَفْصُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ح وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْبَغَوِيُّ ثنا أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ الزَّهْرَانِيُّ ثنا حَفْصُ بْنُ أَبِي دَاوُدَ فَذَكَرَهُ تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ حَفْصٌ وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A prayer in my mosque is better than a thousand prayers in any other mosque, except for the Holy Mosque."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَاةٌ فِي مَسْجِدِي هَذَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفِ صَلَاةٍ فِيمَا سِوَاهُ إِلَّا الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ  

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A prayer in my mosque is better than a thousand prayers in any other mosque except for the Sacred Mosque."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ صَلَاةٌ فِي مَسْجِدِي هَذَا أَفْضَلُ مِنْ أَلْفِ صَلَاةٍ فِي غَيْرِهِ مِنَ الْمَسَاجِدِ إِلَّا الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ  

“One prayer in my mosque is better than one thousand prayers elsewhere, except the Sacred Mosque, and one prayer in the Sacred Mosque is better than one hundred thousand prayers elsewhere.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1406)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَاةٌ فِي مَسْجِدِي هَذَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفِ صَلَاةٍ فِيمَا سِوَاهُ إِلَّا الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ وَصَلَاةٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ مِائَةِ صَلَاةٍ فِي مَسْجِدِي  

[Machine] I asked the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , about the mosque that was established upon righteousness, and he said, "This is my mosque."  

سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْمَسْجِدِ الَّذِي أُسِّسَ عَلَى التَّقْوَى فَقَالَ هُوَ مَسْجِدِي هَذَا  

“One prayer in this mosque of mine is better than one thousand prayers in any other mosque except the Sacred Mosque.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1405)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَاةٌ فِي مَسْجِدِي هَذَا تَعْدِلُ أَلْفَ صَلَاةٍ فِيمَا سِوَاهُ مِنَ الْمَسَاجِدِ إِلَّا الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ فَهُوَ أَفْضَلُ  

[Machine] "That the Prophet ﷺ said: 'Between my grave and my pulpit is a garden from the gardens of Paradise.' And in the narration of Ibn Ubayd, he said: 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Indeed, between my pulpit and my house is a garden from the gardens of Paradise.' And they both narrated it in the authentic Hadith from the narration of Ubaydullah."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ مَا بَيْنَ قَبْرِي وَمِنْبَرِي وَفِي رِوَايَةِ ابْنِ عُبَيْدٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ مَا بَيْنَ مِنْبَرِي وَبَيْتِي رَوْضَةً مِنْ رِيَاضِ الْجَنَّةِ وَمِنْبَرِي عَلَى حَوْضِي أَخْرَجَاهُ فِي الصَّحِيحِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Between my house and my pulpit is a garden from the gardens of Paradise."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا بَيْنَ بَيْتِي وَمِنْبَرِي رَوْضَةٌ مِنْ رِيَاضِ الْجَنَّةِ  

[Machine] I saw the Prophet ﷺ taking care to perform the prayer at that time.  

رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَتَحَرَّى الصَّلَاةَ عِنْدَهَا  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا اعْتَكَفَ يُطْرَحُ لَهُ فِرَاشُهُ أَوْ سَرِيرُهُ إِلَى أُسْطُوَانَةِ التَّوْبَةِ مِمَّا يَلِي الْقِبْلَةَ يَسْتَنِدُ إِلَيْهَا فِيمَا قَالَ عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ  

[Machine] Ibn Umar used to say about the container that Abu Lubaba had tied to it, "The third from the grave and it is the third from the vast area."  

أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ كَانَ يَقُولُ فِي الْأُسْطُوَانَةِ الَّتِي ارْتَبَطَ إِلَيْهَا أَبُو لُبَابَةَ الثَّالِثَةُ مِنَ الْقَبْرِ وَهِيَ الثَّالِثَةُ مِنَ الرَّحْبَةِ  

[Machine] Abu Asim nobly narrated from Hisham ibn Saad, and Abu al-Hasan ibn Bishran al-Adl informed us that Abu Ja'far ibn Muhammad ibn Amr al-Razaz narrated from Yahya ibn Ja'far that Dihak ibn Makhlad narrated from Hisham ibn Saad, from Abi Hazim, from Sahl ibn Saad that the Prophet ﷺ said, "My minbar will be upon a hill from the hills of Jannah." In the narration of al-Saghanee, he said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned it and Hisham narrated it, but Abdul Aziz ibn Abi Hazim did not narrate it from him in the most authentic narrations from him."  

ثنا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ النَّبِيلُ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ح وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ بْنُ بِشْرَانَ الْعَدْلُ أنا أَبُو جَعْفَرِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو الرَّزَّازُ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ أنا الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ أنا هِشَامُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ مِنْبَرِي عَلَى تُرْعَةٍ مِنْ تُرَعِ الْجَنَّةِ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ الصَّغَانِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَهُ رَفَعَهُ هِشَامٌ وَلَمْ يَرْفَعْهُ عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ فِي أَصَحِّ الرِّوَايَتَيْنِ عَنْهُ  

[Machine] He said, "We used to say that the pulpit is on a hill in paradise." Sahal asked, "Do you know what the hill is?" We replied, "Yes, it is the door." He said, "Yes, it is the door," and it is also narrated from him using different wording.  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ كُنَّا نَقُولُ إِنَّ الْمِنْبَرَ عَلَى تُرْعَةٍ مِنْ تُرَعِ الْجَنَّةِ قَالَ سَهْلٌ هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا التُّرْعَةُ؟ قُلْنَا نَعَمْ الْبَابُ قَالَ نَعَمْ هُوَ الْبَابُ وَرُوِيَ عَنْهُ مَرْفُوعًا عَلَى لَفْظٍ آخَرَ  

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ , he said, "Between my house and my pulpit lies a garden among the gardens of Paradise, and the pillars of my pulpit are the stations of the prophets in Paradise." There is a difference of opinion regarding its narration from Abu Salamah ibn Abd al-Rahman, as it is said that it is narrated from Abu Hurairah and it is also said that it is narrated from Umm Salamah. There is also a difference of opinion regarding its wording.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَا بَيْنَ بَيْتِي وَمِنْبَرِي رَوْضَةٌ مِنْ رِيَاضِ الْجَنَّةِ وَقَوَائِمُ مِنْبَرِي رَوَاتِبُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَاخْتُلِفَ فِيهِ عَلَى أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ فَقِيلَ عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَقِيلَ عَنْهُ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ وَاخْتُلِفَ عَنْهُ فِي مَتْنِهِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I am standing on a hillock from the hillocks of paradise." Sa'id added in his narration, "It was asked, 'What is this hillock?' He said, 'The elevated position.' 'Ammar Ad-Duhni differed with Abu Salamah in his narration of both the chain of narrators and the text.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْبَرِي هَذَا عَلَى تُرْعَةٍ مِنْ تُرَعِ الْجَنَّةِ زَادَ سَعِيدٌ فِي رِوَايَتِهِ قِيلَ لِمُحَمَّدٍ مَا التُّرْعَةُ؟ قَالَ الْمُرْتَفِعُ خَالَفَهُ عَمَّارٌ الدُّهْنِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ فِي إِسْنَادِهِ وَمَتْنِهِ  

[Machine] "Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ: The columns of my pulpit are the salaries in paradise." In another narration by Abdul Razzaq, it is reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "And likewise."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ قَوَائِمُ مِنْبَرِي رَوَاتِبُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ عَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَكَذَلِكَ  

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to come to Quba walking and riding, and in the narration of Yahya, both walking and riding.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَأْتِي قُبَاءَ مَاشِيًا وَرَاكِبًا وَفِي حَدِيثِ يَحْيَى رَاكِبًا وَمَاشِيًا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to come to the Quba Mosque riding and walking. Ibn Numair added in his narration that he used to pray two rak'ahs in it.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَأْتِي مَسْجِدَ قُبَاءَ رَاكِبًا وَمَاشِيًا زَادَ ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ فِي رِوَايَتِهِ فَيُصَلِّي فِيهِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ  

[Machine] "I heard Ibn Umar saying that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to come to the Mosque of Quba on foot and riding."  

سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَأْتِي مَسْجِدَ قُبَاءَ رَاكِبًا وَمَاشِيًا  

[Machine] Because the Prophet would have people come to him every Saturday.  

لِأَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَأْتِيهِ كُلَّ سَبْتٍ  

[Machine] He heard Usayd ibn Dhu'ayr al-Ansari, who was one of the companions of the Prophet ﷺ, narrating from the Prophet ﷺ that he said, "Praying in Masjid Quba' is like performing 'umrah."  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أُسَيْدَ بْنَ ظُهَيْرٍ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ ؓ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ صَلَاةٌ فِي مَسْجِدِ قُبَاءَ كَعُمْرَةٍ  

[Machine] "To pray in the Al-Aqsa Mosque."  

أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ فِي بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , used to go out to Al-Baqi' every night, from the end of the night, and say, "Peace be upon you, O dwelling place of believing people. You will receive what you have been promised tomorrow, postponed. And indeed, if Allah wills, we will be joining you. O Allah, forgive the people of Al-Baqi' Al-Gharqad." Abu Abdullah Al-Hafiz informed us that Abu Al-Walid informed me, narrating from Hameed ibn Shuayb, from Yahya ibn Ayyub, from Ismail ibn Jafar, he said, Abu Al-Walid also informed me that I am Al-Hasan ibn Sufyan, narrating from Qutaybah ibn Saeed, narrating from Ismail, and he mentioned it.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ كُلَّمَا كَانَ لَيْلَتُهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ إِلَى الْبَقِيعِ فَيَقُولُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ دَارَ قَوْمٍ مُؤْمِنِينَ وَآتَاكُمْ مَا تُوعَدُونَ غَدًا مُؤَجَّلُونَ وَإِنَّا إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ بِكُمْ لَاحِقُونَ اللهُمُ اغْفِرْ لِأَهْلِ بَقِيعِ الْغَرْقَدِ 10298 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ ثنا حَامِدُ بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ح قَالَ وَأَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ أنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ ثنا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ فَذَكَرَهُ  

[Machine] From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ other than one hadith, Rabi'ah said, "I asked him, 'What is it?' He said, 'Talhah bin 'Abdullah informed me that we went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and when we approached Hawazin, we passed by a grave in Mahniyyah. So we said, 'O Messenger of Allah, these are the graves of our brothers.' He said, 'These are the graves of our companions.' Then we went out and when we reached the graves of the martyrs, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me, 'These are the graves of our brothers, 10,300. Abu Al-Hasan bin 'Abdan informed us, I am Ahmad bin 'Ubayd, Muhammad bin Al-Fadl bin Jabir As-Saqati narrated to me, Hameed bin Yahya, meaning Ibn Yahya said, narrated to me Muhammad bin Ma'n Al-Madani Al-Khaza'i, Dawud bin Khalid bin Dinar narrated to me, from Rabi'ah bin Abi 'Abdur-Rahman, from Rabi'ah bin 'Abdullah bin Al-Hudair, who said: 'I never heard Talhah bin 'Abdullah narrating a hadith from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ other than this one, so he mentioned it like this."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ غَيْرَ حَدِيثٍ وَاحِدٍ قَالَ رَبِيعَةُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ مَا هُوَ؟ قَالَ قَالَ لِي طَلْحَةُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا أَشْرَفْنَا عَلَى حَرَّةِ وَاقِمٍ تَدَلَّيْنَا مِنْهَا فَإِذَا قُبُورٌ بِمَحْنِيَّةٍ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَذِهِ قُبُورُ إِخْوَانِنَا فَقَالَ هَذِهِ قُبُورُ أَصْحَابِنَا ثُمَّ خَرَجْنَا فَلَمَّا جِئْنَا قُبُورَ الشُّهَدَاءِ قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ هَذِهِ قُبُورُ إِخْوَانِنَا 10300 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ بْنُ عَبْدَانَ أنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ جَابِرٍ السَّقَطِيُّ ثنا حَامِدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ يَحْيَى ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَعْنٍ الْمَدَنِيُّ الْخُزَاعِيُّ ثنا دَاوُدُ بْنُ خَالِدِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْهُدَيْرِ قَالَ مَا سَمِعْتُ طَلْحَةَ بْنَ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَدِيثًا قَطُّ غَيْرَ حَدِيثٍ وَاحِدٍ فَذَكَرَهُ بِنَحْوِهِ  

[Machine] I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on this road riding his camel, so I said, "I hope his ride is comfortable."  

إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِي هَذَا الطَّرِيقِ عَلَى نَاقَتِهِ فَقُلْتُ لَعَلَّ خُفِّي يَقَعُ عَلَى خُفِّهِ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to teach us the supplication for isthikharah (seeking what us beneficial from Allah) as he would teach us a surah (chapter) from the Qur'an. He would tell us: When one of you intends to do a work, he should offer two supererogatory rak'ahs of prayer, and then say (at the end of the prayer):

"O Allah, I seek Your choice on the better (of the two matters) based upon Your knowledge, and I seek Your decree based upon Your power, and I ask You for Your great bounties. For Indeed, You are the One Who Decrees, and I do not decree, and You know, and I do not know, and You are the Knower of the Unseen. O Allah, if you know this, and You are the Knower of the Unseen. O Allah, if you know this - here he should name exactly what he wishes - is better for me with regard to my religion, and my life, and my afterlife, and the end result of my affairs, then decree it to me, and make it easy for me, and bless me on it. O Allah, and if You know this to be evil for me - and he says just as he said the first time - then avert it for me, and avert me from it. And decree for me good wherever it might be, the make me content with it." A version goes: "If the work is good immediately or subsequently." (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1538)   

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُعَلِّمُنَا الِاسْتِخَارَةَ فِي الْأُمُورِ كُلِّهَا كَمَا يُعَلِّمُنَا السُّورَةَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ يَقُولُ إِذَا هَمَّ أَحَدُكُمْ بِالْأَمْرِ فَلْيَرْكَعْ رَكْعَتَيْنِ مِنْ غَيْرِ الْفَرِيضَةِ ثُمَّ لِيَقُلِ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَخِيرُكَ بِعِلْمِكَ وَأَسْتَقْدِرُكَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ الْعَظِيمِ فَإِنَّكَ تَقْدِرُ وَلَا أَقْدِرُ وَتَعْلَمُ وَلَا أَعْلَمُ وَأَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ اللهُمَّ إنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ خَيْرٌ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي أَوْ قَالَ فِي عَاجِلِ أَمْرِي وَآجِلِهِ فَاقْدُرْهُ لِي وَيَسِّرْهُ لِي ثُمَّ بَارِكْ لِي فِيهِ وَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ شَرٌّ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي أَوْ قَالَ عَاجِلِ أَمْرِي وَآجِلِهِ فَاصْرِفْهُ عَنِّي وَاصْرِفْنِي عَنْهُ وَاقْدُرْ لِيَ الْخَيْرَ حَيْثُ كَانَ ثُمَّ رَضِّنِي بِهِ قَالَ وَيُسَمِّي حَاجَتَهُ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to say when traveling: "O Allah, You are our companion in the journey, and the successor in our family. O Allah, accompany us on our journey and be our successor in our family. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the hardship of travel, the melancholy of returning home, the torment of misfortune after prosperity, the supplication of the oppressed, and the evil of seeing in regards to family and wealth."  

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا سَافَرَ قَالَ اللهُمَّ أَنْتَ الصَّاحِبُ فِي السَّفَرِ وَالْخَلِيفَةُ فِي الْأَهْلِ اللهُمَّ اصْحَبْنَا فِي سَفَرِنَا وَاخْلُفْنَا فِي أَهْلِنَا اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَعْثَاءِ السَّفَرِ وَكَآبَةِ الْمُنْقَلَبِ وَمِنَ الْحَوْرِ بَعْدَ الْكَوْرِ وَمِنْ دَعْوَةِ الْمَظْلُومِينَ وَمِنْ سُوءِ الْمَنْظَرِ فِي الْأَهْلِ وَالْمَالِ  

[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ intended to embark on a journey, he would not say, "Add provisions for the journey." He would say, "O Allah, You are the Companion on the journey and the Successor in the family. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the hardship of the journey and the distress of returning. O Allah, make our destination nearby and ease the journey for us." And when he intended to return, he would say, "Returning, repenting, and praising our Lord. When he entered his house, he would say, 'Repentance, repentance, and return to our Lord. May He not leave us with sins.' And Ali informed us - I, Ahmad, narrated to him - Isma'il ibn Ishaq narrated to us - Musaddad narrated to us - Abu Al-Ahwas narrated from Simak, who mentioned it through his chain of narration similar to the hadith of Uthman ibn 'Umar.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ فِي سَفَرٍ لَمْ يَقُلْ زِيَادٌ فِي سَفَرٍ قَالَ اللهُمَّ أَنْتَ الصَّاحِبُ فِي السَّفَرِ وَالْخَلِيفَةُ فِي الْأَهْلِ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الضُّبْنَةِ فِي السَّفَرِ وَالْكَابَةِ فِي الْمُنْقَلَبِ اللهُمَّ اقْبِضْ لَنَا الْأَرْضَ وَهَوِّنْ عَلَيْنَا السَّفَرَ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ الرُّجُوعَ قَالَ آئِبُونَ تَائِبُونَ لِرَبِّنَا حَامِدُونَ فَإِذَا دَخَلَ أَهْلَهُ قَالَ تَوْبًا تَوْبًا لِرَبِّنَا أَوْبًا لَا يُغَادِرُ عَلَيْنَا حُوبًا 10305 وَأَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيٌّ أنا أَحْمَدُ ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ ثنا مُسَدَّدٌ ثنا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ سِمَاكٍ فَذَكَرَهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عُمَرَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ never embarked on a journey without saying, when he got up from his sitting position: "O Allah, it is by Your name that I set out, and in You I place my trust. O Allah, suffice me from my worries and what I do not worry about, and what You know best about me. O Allah, grant me righteousness and forgive my sins, and direct me to the best wherever I turn." Then he would say this: "This is what the common people say: 'O Allah, it is by Your name that I set out.' And Abu Sulaiman al-Khattaabi, may Allah have mercy on him, used to say: 'The correct wording is: I began my journey with a smile.'"  

لَمْ يُرِدْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ سَفَرًا إِلَّا قَالَ حِينَ يَنْهَضُ مِنْ جُلُوسِهِ اللهُمَّ بِكَ انْتَشَرْتُ وَإِلَيْكَ تَوَجَّهْتُ وَبِكَ اعْتَصَمْتُ أَنْتَ ثِقَتِي وَرَجَائِي اللهُمَّ اكْفِنِي مَا أَهَمَّنِي وَمَا لَا أَهْتَمُّ بِهِ وَمَا أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنِّي اللهُمَّ زَوِّدْنِي التَّقْوَى وَاغْفِرْ لِي ذَنْبِي وَوَجِّهْنِي إِلَى الْخَيْرِ حَيْثُ مَا تَوَجَّهْتُ ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ هَكَذَا يَقُولُهُ الْعَوَّامُّ بِكَ انْتَشَرْتُ وَأَبُو سُلَيْمَانَ الْخَطَّابِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ الصَّحِيحُ ابْتَسَرْتُ يَعْنِي ابْتَدَأْتُ سَفَرِي  

[Machine] He used to say that rarely did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ go on a journey for jihad or other reasons except on a Thursday. They have mentioned it in the authentic narration in the hadith of Tawbah of Ka'b ibn Malik.  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ قَلَّمَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَخْرُجُ فِي سَفَرٍ لِجِهَادٍ وَغَيْرِهِ إِلَّا يَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ أَخْرَجَاهُ فِي الصَّحِيحِ فِي حَدِيثِ تَوْبَةِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ rarely used to embark on a journey except on Thursdays.  

قَلَّمَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَخْرُجُ فِي سَفَرٍ إِلَّا يَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ  

“Allahumma inni a’udhu bika an adilla aw azilla, aw azlima aw uzlama, aw ajhala aw yujhala ‘alayya (O Allah, I seek refuge with You from going astray or stumbling, from wronging others or being wronged, and from behaving or being treated in an ignorant manner).” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3884)   

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا خَرَجَ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ يَقُولُ بِاسْمِ اللهِ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أَزِلَّ أَوْ أَضِلَّ أَوْ أَظْلِمَ أَوْ أُظْلَمَ أَوْ أَجْهَلَ أَوْ يُجْهَلَ عَلَيَّ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever says 'In the name of Allah, I trust in Allah. There is no power or strength except with Allah,' it is said to him: 'You have been protected and sufficed.' Hujaj bin Muhammad narrated this from Ibn Jurayj and added: 'When he leaves his house.'"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ قَالَ بِاسْمِ اللهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللهِ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ يُقَالُ وُقِيتَ وَكُفِيتَ وَرَوَاهُ حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ وَزَادَ فِيهِ إِذَا خَرَجَ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ  

[Machine] "And he said: I bid you farewell as the Prophet ﷺ bid me farewell and sent me for a purpose he had. He said: I entrust Allah with your religion, your trustworthiness, and the outcome of your deeds."  

وَقَالَ أُوَدِّعُكَ كَمَا وَدَّعَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَرْسَلَنِي إِلَى حَاجَةٍ لَهُ فَقَالَ أَسْتَوْدِعُ اللهَ دِينَكَ وَأَمَانَتَكَ وَخَوَاتِيمَ عَمَلِكَ  

[Machine] Abdullah, wait until I bid you farewell as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to bid us farewell. I entrust Allah with your religion, trustworthiness, and the end of your deeds.  

عَبْدُ اللهِ انْتَظِرْ حَتَّى أُوَدِّعَكَ كَمَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُوَدِّعُنَا أَسْتَوْدِعُ اللهَ دِينَكَ وَأَمَانَتَكَ وَخَوَاتِيمَ عَمَلِكَ  

[Machine] From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, a man came to the Prophet ﷺ while he was intending to travel, so he greeted him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "I advise you to have taqwa (fear and obedience of Allah) and to recite takbir (saying Allahu akbar - Allah is the Greatest) on every elevated place. So when the man turned away, he said, "O Allah, make the earth spacious for him and make his journey easy."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّ رَجُلًا جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَهُوَ يُرِيدُ سَفَرًا فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أُوصِيكَ بِتَقْوَى اللهِ وَالتَّكْبِيرِ عَلَى كُلِّ شَرَفٍ حَتَّى إِذَا أَدْبَرَ الرَّجُلُ قَالَ اللهُمَّ ازْوِ لَهُ الْأَرْضَ وَهَوِّنْ عَلَيْهِ السَّفَرَ  

that he sought permission from the Prophet ﷺ concerning ʿUmrah, so he said: “O my little brother, include us in your supplication and do not forget us.” (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3562)   

أَنَّ عُمَرَ اسْتَأْذَنَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فِي الْعُمْرَةِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَشْرِكْنَا فِي صَالِحِ دُعَائِكَ وَلَا تَنْسَنَا  

[Machine] He sought permission from the Prophet ﷺ for Umrah, so the Prophet granted him permission and said, "Do not forget us in your prayers, my brother." He (the narrator) said, "So he said a word to me that would make me pleased if I had it for the entire world." Shu'bah said, "So I met 'Asim after in Madinah and informed him. He said, 'Include us, my brother, in your prayers.'" In the narration of Ibn Yusuf, he said in its chain of narration, "I heard Salim ibn Abdullah narrating from his father from 'Umar who said in his statement, 'He said a word to me that I would not like to have the whole world in return for confirming my brother in its beginning and its end from his standpoint.'"  

أَنَّهُ اسْتَأْذَنَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فِي عُمْرَةٍ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ وَقَالَ لَا تَنْسَنَا يَا أَخِي مِنْ دُعَائِكَ قَالَ فَقَالَ لِي كَلِمَةً مَا يَسُرُّنِي أَنَّ لِي بِهَا الدُّنْيَا قَالَ شُعْبَةُ فَلَقِيتُ عَاصِمًا بَعْدُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَحَدَّثَنِيهِ وَقَالَ فِيهِ أَشْرِكْنَا يَا أَخِي فِي دُعَائِكَ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ ابْنِ يُوسُفَ قَالَ فِي إِسْنَادِهِ سَمِعْتُ سَالِمَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عُمَرَ وَقَالَ فِي مَتْنِهِ فَقَالَ لِي كَلِمَةً مَا أُحِبُّ أَنَّ لِي بِهَا الدُّنْيَا وَإِثْبَاتُ أَخِي فِي أَوَّلِهِ وَأَخِي فِي آخِرِهِ مِنْ جِهَتِهِ  

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
