[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ , he said: "When one of you gets his mount or servant or animal ready for a journey, let him take hold of its reins (or nose) and say: 'In the name of Allah.' Then he should supplicate: 'O Allah, I ask You for its goodness and the goodness of what it has been created for, and I seek refuge in You from its evil and the evil it has been created for.'” And Abu Abdullah Al-Hafi told us that Mohammad ibn Ya'qub narrated to us, Yahya ibn Muhammad ibn Yahya Ash-Shahid narrated to us, Musaddad narrated to us, Yahya ibn Sa'id narrated to us, Ibn Ajlan mentioned it in a similar way, except that he added: "And if it is a camel, let him hold its camelhood (i.e., hump), and Allah knows best."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا أَفَادَ أَحَدُكُمُ امْرَأَةً أَوْ خَادِمًا أَوْ دَابَّةً فَلْيَأْخُذْ بِنَاصِيَتِهَا وَلْيُسَمِّ اللهَ ﷻ وَلْيَقُلْ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَهَا وَخَيْرَ مَا جُبِلَتْ عَلَيْهِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا وَشَرِّ مَا جُبِلَتْ عَلَيْهِ 13839 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أنبأ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى الشَّهِيدُ ثنا مُسَدَّدٌ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ثنا ابْنُ عَجْلَانَ فَذَكَرَهُ بِنَحْوِهِ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ فَلْيَأْخُذْ بِنَاصِيَتِهَا وَلْيَدْعُ بِالْبَرَكَةِ وَلْيَقُلْ فَذَكَرَهُ وَزَادَ وَإِنْ كَانَ بَعِيرًا فَلْيَأْخُذْ بِذِرْوَةِ سَنَامِهِ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ
