" عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بنِ سَرْجس قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ إِذَا أَرَادَ سَفَرًا قَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الصَّاحِبُ فِى السَّفَرِ، وَالْخَلِيفَةُ فِى الأَهْلِ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّى أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَعْثَاء السَّفَرِ، وَكآبَةِ الْمُنْقَلِبِ، وَالْحور بَعْدَ الْكور، وَدَعْوَة الْمَظلُومِ، وَسُوءِ الْمَنْظَرِ فِى الأَهْلِ وَالْمَالِ".

Collected by Muslim, Nasāʾī, Abū Dāwūd, Ibn Mājah, Mālik, Aḥmad, Dārimī, Nasāʾī's Kubrá, Bayhaqī, SuyūṭīAbdullah b. Sarjis (Allah be pleased with him) reported that when Messenger of Allah ﷺ set forth on a journey, he sought refuge (with Allah) from the hardships of the travelling, and finding of evil changes on return, and disgrace after honour, and the curse of the oppressed and a gloomy sad scene in family and property.
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا سَافَرَ يَتَعَوَّذُ مِنْ وَعْثَاءِ السَّفَرِ وَكَآبَةِ الْمُنْقَلَبِ وَالْحَوْرِ بَعْدَ الْكَوْرِ وَدَعْوَةِ الْمَظْلُومِ وَسُوءِ الْمَنْظَرِ فِي الأَهْلِ وَالْمَالِ
When the Messenger of Allah [SAW] traveled, he would say: "Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min wa'tha'is-safari, wa kabatil-munqalabi, wal-hawri ba'dal-kawri, wa da'watil-mazlumi, wa suw'il-munzari fil-ahli wal-mal (O Allah, I seek refuge with You from the hardships of travel and the sorrows of return, from loss after plenty, from the supplication of the one who has been wronged, and seeing some calamity befall my family or wealth.)"
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا سَافَرَ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَعْثَاءِ السَّفَرِ وَكَآبَةِ الْمُنْقَلَبِ وَالْحَوْرِ بَعْدَ الْكَوْرِ وَدَعْوَةِ الْمَظْلُومِ وَسُوءِ الْمَنْظَرِ فِي الأَهْلِ وَالْمَالِ
When the Messenger of Allah [SAW] traveled, he would say: "Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min wa'tha'is-safari, wa kabatil-munqalabi, wal-hawri ba'dal-kawri, wa da'watil-mazlumi, wa su'il-munzari fil-ahli wal-mali wal-walad (O Allah, I seek refuge with You from the hardships of travel and the sorrows of return, from loss after plenty, from the supplication of the one who has been wronged, and seeing some calamity befall my family or wealth or child.)"
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا سَافَرَ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَعْثَاءِ السَّفَرِ وَكَآبَةِ الْمُنْقَلَبِ وَالْحَوْرِ بَعْدَ الْكَوْرِ وَدَعْوَةِ الْمَظْلُومِ وَسُوءِ الْمَنْظَرِ فِي الأَهْلِ وَالْمَالِ وَالْوَلَدِ
"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.)'"
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا سَافَرَ فَرَكِبَ رَاحِلَتَهُ قَالَ بِإِصْبَعِهِ وَمَدَّ شُعْبَةُ بِإِصْبَعِهِ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الصَّاحِبُ فِي السَّفَرِ وَالْخَلِيفَةُ فِي الأَهْلِ وَالْمَالِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَعْثَاءِ السَّفَرِ وَكَآبَةِ الْمُنْقَلَبِ
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
“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say” – and (one of the narrators) ‘Abdur-Rahim said: “he used to seek refuge” – “when he traveled: ‘Allahumma inni a’udhu bika min wa’tha’is-safar, wa ka’abatil-munqalab, wal-hawri ba’dal-kawr, wa da’watil-mazlum, wa su’il-manzari fil-ahli wal-mal (O Allah, I seek refuge with You from the hardships of travel and the sorrows of return, from decrease after increase, from the prayer of the one who has been wronged, and seeing some calamity befall my family or wealth).’” (One of the narrators) Abu Mu’awiyah added: “And when he returned he said likewise.”
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ وَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحِيمِ يَتَعَوَّذُ إِذَا سَافَرَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَعْثَاءِ السَّفَرِ وَكَآبَةِ الْمُنْقَلَبِ وَالْحَوْرِ بَعْدَ الْكَوْرِ وَدَعْوَةِ الْمَظْلُومِ وَسُوءِ الْمَنْظَرِ فِي الأَهْلِ وَالْمَالِ وَزَادَ أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ فَإِذَا رَجَعَ قَالَ مِثْلَهَا
Malik related to me that he heard that when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ set foot in the stirrup intending to travel, he would say, "In the name of Allah. O Allah! You are my companion in the journey and the Khalifa of my family. O Allah! Spread out the earth for us and make the journey easy for us. O Allah! I seek refuge with You from the hardship of the journey and from returning to sorrow and a distressing sight regarding property and family."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا وَضَعَ رِجْلَهُ فِي الْغَرْزِ وَهُوَ يُرِيدُ السَّفَرَ يَقُولُ بِاسْمِ اللَّهِ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الصَّاحِبُ فِي السَّفَرِ وَالْخَلِيفَةُ فِي الأَهْلِ اللَّهُمَّ ازْوِ لَنَا الأَرْضَ وَهَوِّنْ عَلَيْنَا السَّفَرَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَعْثَاءِ السَّفَرِ وَمِنْ كَآبَةِ الْمُنْقَلَبِ وَمِنْ سُوءِ الْمَنْظَرِ فِي الْمَالِ وَالأَهْلِ
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. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2598)
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ فِي سَفَرٍ قَالَ اللهُمَّ أَنْتَ الصَّاحِبُ فِي السَّفَرِ وَالْخَلِيفَةُ فِي الْأَهْلِ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الضُّبْنَةِ فِي السَّفَرِ وَالْكَآبَةِ فِي الْمُنْقَلَبِ اللهُمَّ اقْبِضْ لَنَا الْأَرْضَ وَهَوِّنْ عَلَيْنَا السَّفَرَ
[Machine] It was narrated that when the Prophet ﷺ used to embark on a journey, he would ride his riding animal and say, "O Allah, You are the Companion during the journey and the Guardian of the family. And he once said, "And I see that he means, he said, "And the one carrying on the back, O Allah, accompany us with righteousness and turn our hearts towards obedience. We seek refuge in You from the difficulties of the journey and the hardships of returning."
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا خَرَجَ سَفَرًا فَرَكِبَ رَاحِلَتَهُ قَالَ اللهُمَّ أَنْتَ الصَّاحِبُ فِي السَّفَرِ وَالْخَلِيفَةُ فِي الْأَهْلِ قَالَ وَأُرَاهُ يَعْنِي قَالَ وَالْحَامِلُ عَلَى الظَّهْرِ اللهُمَّ اصْحَبْنَا بِنُصْحٍ وَاقْلِبْنَا بِذِمَّةٍ نعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَعْثَاءِ السَّفَرِ وَكَآبَةِالْمُنْقَلَبِ

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
When the Messenger of Allah [SAW] traveled, he would say: "Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min wa'tha'is-safari, wa kabatil-munqalabi, wal-hawri ba'dal-kawri, wa da'watil-mazlumi, wa suw'il-munzari fil-ahli wal-mal (O Allah, I seek refuge with You from the hardships of travel and the sorrows of return, from loss after plenty, from the supplication of the one who has been wronged, and seeing some calamity befall my family or wealth.)" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 5498)
كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا خَرَجَ مُسَافِرًا يَقُولُ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَعْثَاءِ السَّفَرِ وَكَآبَةِ الْمُنْقَلَبِ وَالْحَوْرِ بَعْدَ الْكَوْرِ وَدَعْوَةِ الْمَظْلُومِ وَسُوءِ الْمَنْظَرِ فِي الْأَهْلِ وَالْمَالِ

[Machine] Aasim, who has seen the Prophet ﷺ , used to say when going on a journey: "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the difficulties of travel, the distressful return, and the sight of the afflicted, and from the evil consequences upon wealth and family." And when he would return, he would say the same except that he would start with "the evil consequences upon the family and wealth."
عَاصِمٌ وَقَدْ كَانَ رَأَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا خَرَجَ فِي سَفَرٍ قَالَ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَعْثَاءِ السَّفَرِ وَكَآبَةِ الْمُنْقَلَبِ وَالْحَوْرِ بَعْدَ الْكَوْرِ وَدَعْوَةِ الْمَظْلُومِ وَسُوءِ الْمَنْظَرِ فِي الْمَالِ وَالْأَهْلِ وَإِذَا رَجَعَ قَالَ مِثْلَهَا إِلَّا أَنَّهُ يَقُولُ وَسُوءِ الْمَنْظَرِ فِي الْأَهْلِ وَالْمَالِ يَبْدَأُ بِالْأَهْلِ
[Machine] He witnessed the Prophet ﷺ saying, "When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to travel, he would say, 'O Allah, You are the companion in the journey and the successor in the family. O Allah, accompany us in our journey and leave us in our families. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the difficulties of travel, the discomforts of returning home, being in a foreign land after our own, the supplication of the oppressed, and the hardships in family and wealth.' It was asked to Asim about 'the discomforts of returning home', and he said, 'It means the heat after what was before it.'"
أَنَّهُ كَانَ رَأَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ 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 وَدَعْوَةِ الْمَظْلُومِ وَسُوءِ الْمَنْظَرِ فِي الْأَهْلِ وَالْمَالِ قَالَ وَسُئِلَ عَاصِمٌ عَنِ الْحَوْرِ بَعْدَ الْكَوْرِ؟ قَالَ حَارَ بَعْدَ مَا كَانَ

[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
"عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ إِذَا خَرَجَ إِلَى سَفَرٍ قَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ بَلِّغْ بَلَاغًا يَبْلُغُ خَيْرًا: مَغْفِرَةً منْكَ وَرِضْوَانًا، بِيَدكَ الْخَيْرُ إِنَّكَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْء قَدِيرٌ، الَّلهُمَّ أَنْتَ الصَّاحبُ في السَّفَر وَالْخَليفَةُ في الأَهْل، الَّلهُمَّ هَوِّنْ عَلَيْنَا السَّفَرَ، وَاطْوِ لَنَا الأَرْضَ، الَّلهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بَكَ مِنْ وَعْثَاءِ السَّفَرِ وَكَآبَةِ الْمنقَلَبِ".
"عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: إِذَا أرَادَ الرَّجُلُ مِنْكُمْ السَّفَرَ فَلْيَقُلْ: اللَّهُمَّ بَلاغًا يُبَلِّغُ خَيْرًا، مَغْفِرَةً مِنْكَ وَرِضْوَانًا؛ بِيدكَ الْخَيْرُ، إِنَّكَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الصَّاحِبُ فِى السَّفَرِ وَالْخَلِيفَةُ فِى الأَهْلِ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَعْثَاءِ السَّفَرِ وَكَآبَةِ الْمُنْقَلِبِ، اللَّهُمَّ اِطْوِ لَنَا الأَرْضَ، وَهَوِّنْ عَلَيْنَا السَّفَرَ".
"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".
