If one of you marries a woman or buys a slave, he should say: "O Allah, I ask You for the good in her, and in the disposition You have given her; I take refuge in You from the evil in her, and in the disposition You have given her." When he buys a camel, he should take hold of the top of its hump and say the same kind of thing. Abu Dawud said: Abu Sa'id added the following words in his version: He should then tale hold of her forelock and pray for blessing in the case of a woman or a slave.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا تَزَوَّجَ أَحَدُكُمُ امْرَأَةً أَوِ اشْتَرَى خَادِمًا فَلْيَقُلِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَهَا وَخَيْرَ مَا جَبَلْتَهَا عَلَيْهِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا جَبَلْتَهَا عَلَيْهِ وَإِذَا اشْتَرَى بَعِيرًا فَلْيَأْخُذْ بِذِرْوَةِ سَنَامِهِ وَلْيَقُلْ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ  

"When anyone of you buys a slave woman let him say: 'Allahumma inni as'aluka khairaha wa khaira ma jabaltaha alaihi, wa a'udhu bika min sharriha wa sharri ma jabaltaha alaihi (O Allah, I ask You for the goodness within her and the goodness that You have made her inclined towards, and I seek refuge with You from the evil within her and the evil that You have made her inclined towards).' And he should pray for blessing. And if anyone of you buys a camel then he should take hold of its hump and pray for. blessing and say similar words."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا اشْتَرَى أَحَدُكُمُ الْجَارِيَةَ فَلْيَقُلِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَهَا وَخَيْرَ مَا جَبَلْتَهَا عَلَيْهِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا وَشَرِّ مَا جَبَلْتَهَا عَلَيْهِ وَلْيَدْعُ بِالْبَرَكَةِ وَإِذَا اشْتَرَى أَحَدُكُمْ بَعِيرًا فَلْيَأْخُذْ بِذِرْوَةِ سَنَامِهِ وَلْيَدْعُ بِالْبَرَكَةِ وَلْيَقُلْ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ

And he should pray for blessing. And if anyone of you buys a camel then he should take hold of its hump and pray for. blessing and say similar words." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2252)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَفَادَ أَحَدُكُمُ الْجَارِيَةَ أَوِ الْمَرْأَةَ أَوِ الدَّابَّةَ فَلْيَأْخُذْ بِنَاصِيَتِهَا وَلْيَدْعُ بِالْبَرَكَةَ وَلْيَقُلِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَهَا وَخَيْرَ مَا جُبِلَتْ عَلَيْهِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا وَشَرِّ مَا جُبِلَتْ عَلَيْهِ وَإِنْ كَانَ بَعِيرًا فَلْيَأْخُذْ بِذِرْوَةِ سَنَامِهِ  

If one of you marries a woman or buys a slave, he should say: "O Allah, I ask You for the good in her, and in the disposition You have given her; I take refuge in You from the evil in her, and in the disposition You have given her." When he buys a camel, he should take hold of the top of its hump and say the same kind of thing. Abu Dawud said: Abu Sa'id added the following words in his version: He should then tale hold of her forelock and pray for blessing in the case of a woman or a slave. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2160)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا اشْتَرَى أَحَدُكُمُ الْجَارِيَةَ أَوِ الْغُلَامَ أَوِ الدَّابَّةَ فَلْيَأْخُذْ نَاصِيَتَهُ وَلْيَقُلِ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيَّرَهُ وَخَيْرَ مَا جُبِلَ عَلَيْهِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهِ وَشَرِّ مَا جُبِلَ عَلَيْهِ وَإِذَا اشْتَرَى بَعِيرًا فَلْيَأْخُذْ بِذِرْوَةِ سَنَامِهِ وَلْيَقُلْ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ  

[Machine] "From the Prophet ﷺ that he said: When one of you benefits from a woman or a servant or a camel, he should place his hand on its forehead and say, 'O Allah, I ask You for its goodness and the goodness for which You have created it, and I seek refuge in You from its evil and the evil for which You have created it.' As for the camel, he should hold onto the top of its hump and say the same."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِذَا أَفَادَ أَحَدُكُمُ الْمَرْأَةَ أَوِ الْخَادِمَ أَوِ الْبَعِيرَ فَلْيَضَعْ يَدَهُ عَلَى نَاصِيَتِهَا ثُمَّ يَقُولُ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَهَا وَخَيْرَ مَا جَبَلْتَهَا عَلَيْهِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا وَشَرِّ مَا جَبَلْتَهَا عَلَيْهِ وَأَمَّا الْبَعِيرُ فَإِنَّهُ يَأْخُذُ بِذِرْوَةِ سَنَامِهِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ  

that the Prophet said: “When anyone of you gets a new wife, a servant, or an animal, let him take hold of the forelock and say: Allahumma inni asʿaluka min khayriha wa khayri ma jubilat 'alaihi, wa 'audhu bika min sharriha wa sharri ma jubilat ʿalaih (O Allah, I ask You for the goodness within her and the goodness that she is inclined towards, and I seek refuge with you from the evil to which she is inclined).' ” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1918)   

"إِذَا أفَادَ أحدُكم امرأةً أو دَابَّةً، فليأخُذْ بناصيتها، وليدْع بالبركةِ وليقلْ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنّى أسْألُكَ من خيرِها وخيرِ ما جُبلتْ عليهِ، وأعوذُ بكَ مِنْ شَرِّها وشَرِّ ما جُبلتْ عليه، وإنْ كان بعيرًا فليأخُذْ بذروةِ سَنَامِهِ" .
