When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ proceeded on journey, he would say: O Allah, Thou art the Companion in the journey, and the One Who looks after the family; O Allah, I seek refuge in Thee from the difficulty of travelling, finding harm when I return, and unhappiness in what I see coming to my family and property. O Allah, make the length of his journey short for us, and the journey easy for us.

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا سَافَرَ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الصَّاحِبُ فِي السَّفَرِ وَالْخَلِيفَةُ فِي الأَهْلِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَعْثَاءِ السَّفَرِ وَكَآبَةِ الْمُنْقَلَبِ وَسُوءِ الْمَنْظَرِ فِي الأَهْلِ وَالْمَالِ اللَّهُمَّ اطْوِ لَنَا الأَرْضَ وَهَوِّنْ عَلَيْنَا السَّفَرَ

“When the Prophet ﷺ would travel, and he would mount his riding camel, he would gesture with his finger” – and Shuʿbah stretched out his finger – “and say: ‘O Allah You are the companion on the journey, and the caretaker for the family, O Allah, accompany us with Your protection, and return us in security, O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the difficulties of the journey, and from returning in great sadness (Allāhumma antaṣ-ṣāḥibu fis safari wal-khalīfatu fil-ahli, Allāhumma aṣḥabnā bi nuṣḥika waqlibnā bi-dhimmah, Allāhummazwi lanal-arḍa wa hawwin ʿalainas-safar, Allāhumma innī a’ūdhu bika min waʿthā’is-safari wa ka’ābatil-munqalab).’”

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا سَافَرَ فَرَكِبَ رَاحِلَتَهُ قَالَ بِأُصْبُعِهِ وَمَدَّ شُعْبَةُ بِأُصْبُعِهِ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الصَّاحِبُ فِي السَّفَرِ وَالْخَلِيفَةُ فِي الأَهْلِ اللَّهُمَّ اصْحَبْنَا بِنُصْحِكَ وَاقْلِبْنَا بِذِمَّةٍ اللَّهُمَّ ازْوِ لَنَا الأَرْضَ وَهَوِّنْ عَلَيْنَا السَّفَرَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَعْثَاءِ السَّفَرِ وَكَآبَةِ الْمُنْقَلَبِ

O Allah, make the length of his journey short for us, and the journey easy for us. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2598)

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا سَافَرَ قَالَ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَعْثَاءِ السَّفَرِ وَكَآبَةِ الْمُنْقَلَبِ وَسُوءِ الْمَنْظَرِ فِي الْأَهْلِ وَالْمَالِ اللهُمَّ أَنْتَ الصَّاحِبُ فِي السَّفَرِ وَالْخَلِيفَةُ فِي الْأَهْلِ اللهُمَّ اطْوِ لَنَا الْأَرْضَ وَهَوِّنْ عَلَيْنَا السَّفَرَ

[Machine] "I take hold of the reins of the camel and accompany it until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ mounts it. He then says, "O Allah, You are our companion in travel and the successor to our families. O Allah, accompany us with companionship, facilitate our journey, O Allah, grant me the keys to the earth, and make our travel easy for us. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the hardships of travel and the distress of return." Abu Zur'ah (narrator of the hadith) said, "Abu Huraira was an Arab man, if he wanted to say 'hardships of travel' he would have said, 'O Allah, make our travel easy for us.'"

إِنِّي لَآخِذٌ بِخِطَامِ النَّاقَةِ لَازِمُهَا حَتَّى اسْتَوَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الصَّاحِبُ فِي السَّفَرِ وَالْخَلِيفَةُ فِي الْأَهْلِ اللَّهُمَّ اصْحَبْنَا بِصُحْبَةِ وَاقْلِبْنَا بِذِمَّةٍ اللَّهُمَّ ارْزُقْنِي قُفْلَ الْأَرْضِ وَهَوِّنْ عَلَيْنَا السَّفَرَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَعْثَاءِ السَّفَرِ وَكَآبَةِ الْمُنْقَلَبِ» قَالَ أَبُو زُرْعَةَ وَكَانَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ رَجُلًا عَرَبِيًّا لَوْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَقُولَ وَعْثَاءَ السَّفَرِ لَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ اقْلِبْنَا بِذِمَّةٍ اللَّهُمَّ ازْوِ لَنَا الْأَرْضَ وَسَيِّرْنَا فِيهَا

"When the Messenger of Allah [SAW] traveled and rode his mount, he gestured with his finger - and Shu'bah (one of the narrators) stretched out his finger - and said: 'Allahumma, antas-sahibu fis-safari wal-khalifatu fil-ahli wal-mal. Allahumma, inni a'udhu bika min wa'tha'is-safari, wa kabatil-munqalabi (O Allah, You are our help when we are traveling and the One Who takes care of our families and wealth (in our absence). O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the hardships of travel and the sorrows of return.)'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 5501)

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا سَافَرَ فَرَكِبَ رَاحِلَتَهُ قَالَ بِإِصْبَعِهِ وَمَدَّ شُعْبَةُ بِأُصْبُعِهِ قَالَ «اللهُمَّ أَنْتَ الصَّاحِبُ فِي السَّفَرِ وَالْخَلِيفَةُ فِي الْأَهْلِ اللهُمَّ ازْوِ لَنَا الْأَرْضَ وَهَوِّنْ عَلَيْنَا السَّفَرَ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَعْثَاءِ السَّفَرِ وَكَآبَةِ الْمُنْقَلَبِ»

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا سَافَرَ فَرَكِبَ رَاحِلَتَهُ قَالَ بِإِصْبُعِهِ وَمَدَّ شُعْبَةُ بِإِصْبُعِهِ فَقَالَ «اللهُمَّ أَنْتَ الصَّاحِبُ فِي السَّفَرِ وَالْخَلِيفَةُ فِي الْأَهْلِ اللهُمَّ زَوِّ لَنَا الْأَرْضَ وَهَوِّنْ عَلَيْنَا السَّفَرَ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَعْثَاءِ السَّفَرِ وَكَآبَةِ الْمُنْقَلَبِ»

اللَّهُ عَلَيه وَسَلَّم كان إذا أراد سفرا قال اللهم أنت الصاحب في السفر والخليفة في الأهل اللهم إني أعوذ بك من وعثاء السفر وكآبة المنقلب وسوء المنظر في الأهل والمال اللهم اطو لنا الأرض وهون علينا السفر

" اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الصَّاحِبُ في السَّفِر، والخَلِيفَةُ في الأهْل، اللَّهُمَّ اصْحَبْنَا بِصُحْبةٍ، وَاقْلبْنَا بِذِمة، اللَّهُمَّ ارْزُقْنى قَفْلَ الأرْضِ وَهَوِّنْ عَلَينَا السَّفَر، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ وعثاءِ السَّفَر، وَكآبَةِ الْمُنْقَلَب، اللهُمَّ ازْو لَنَا الأرضَ وَسيِّرْنَا فيها".

"عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إذَا أَرادَ سَفَرًا قَالَ: أَنْتَ الصَّاحِبُ فِي السَّفَرِ، وَالخَلِيفَةُ فِي الأَهلِ، اللَّهُمَّ أَصْحبنَا بِنُصحٍ، وَاقْبَلْنَا بِذِمَّة، اللَّهُمَّ أَذِلَّ لَنَا الأَرْضَ، وَهَوِّنْ عَلَيْنَا السَّفَر، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعوذُ بِكَ مَنْ وَعْثَاءِ السَّفَرِ، وكَآبَةِ المنُقَلَبِ وَسُوءِ المَنْظَرِ فِي الأَهْلِ وَالْمَالِ، اللَّهُمَّ اطْوِ لَنَا الأَرَضَ، وَهَوِّنْ عَلَيْنَا السَّفَرَ".
