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] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would intend to set out on a journey, he would say, "O Allah, You are our companion in the journey and the successor in the family. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the hardships of travel and the distress of returning. O Allah, make the journey easy for us and shorten the distance. And when he would intend to return, he would say, 'Returning, repenting, worshipping, and praising our Lord.' And when he would enter his home, he would say, 'Seeking forgiveness, seeking forgiveness for our Lord, there is no turning away from us today.'

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ إِلَى سَفَرٍ قَالَ اللهُمَّ أَنْتَ الصَّاحِبُ فِي السَّفَرِ وَالْخَلِيفَةُ فِي الْأَهْلِ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الضُّبْنَةِ فِي السَّفَرِ وَالْكَآبَةِ فِي الْمُنْقَلَبِ اللهُمَّ اطْوِ لَنَا الْأَرْضَ وَهَوِّنْ عَلَيْنَا السَّفَرَ وَإِذَا أَرَادَ الرُّجُوعَ قَالَ آيِبُونَ تَائِبُونَ عَابِدُونَ لِرَبِّنَا حَامِدُونَ وَإِذَا دَخَلَ أَهْلَهُ قَالَ تَوْبًا تَوْبًا لِرَبِّنَا أَوْبًا لَا يُغَادِرُ عَلَيْنَا حَوْبًا

[Machine] "When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ intended to embark on a journey, he would say, 'O Allah, You are the Companion on the journey, and the Guardian of the family. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from experiencing fatigue during the journey and feeling sadness upon returning. O Allah, make the travel easy for us and bring us back home safely.'

And when he intended to return, he would say, 'Returning, repenting, worshiping, and prostrating to our Lord.'

And when he entered his house, he would say, 'Returning, repenting to our Lord, and pardoning that which does not harm us.'"

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ فِي سَفَرِهِ قَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الصَّاحِبُ فِي السَّفَرِ وَالْخَلِيفَةُ فِي الْأَهْلِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الضِّبْنَةِ فِي السَّفَرِ وَالْكَآبَةِ فِي الْمُنْقَلَبِ اللَّهُمَّ اقْبِضْ لَنَا الْأَرْضَ وَهَوِّنْ عَلَيْنَا السَّفَرَ» فَإِذَا أَرَادَ الرُّجُوعَ قَالَ «آيِبُونَ تَائِبُونَ عَابِدُونَ لِرَبِّنَا سَاجِدُونَ» فَإِذَا دَخَلَ بَيْتَهُ قَالَ «تَوْبًا تَوْبًا لِرَبِّنَا أَوْبًا لَا يُغَادِرُ عَلَيْنَا حَوْبًا»

And when he returned, he would say, 'We are returning, repenting, worshipping, and praising our Lord.' And when he entered his home, he would say, 'We have returned, seeking repentance, with our Lord, seeking forgiveness.'"

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ فِي سَفَرٍ قَالَ «اللهُمَّ أَنْتَ الصَّاحِبُ فِي السَّفَرِ وَالْخَلِيفَةُ فِي الْأَهْلِ اللهُمَّ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الضُّبْنَةِ فِي السَّفَرِ وَالْكَآبَةِ فِي الْمُنْقَلَبِ اللهُمَّ اقْبِضْ لَنَا الْأَرْضَ وَهَوِّنْ عَلَيْنَا السَّفَرَ» فَإِذَا رَجَعَ قَالَ «آيِبُونَ تَائِبُونَ عَابِدُونَ لِرَبِّنَا حَامِدُونَ» فَإِذَا دَخَلَ أَهْلُهُ قَالَ «أَوْبًا أَوْبًا لِرَبِّنَا تَوْبًا لَا يُغَادِرُ عَلَيْنَا حَوبًا»

[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.

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

"عَنِ ابْن عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ في السَّفَرِ قَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الصَّاحِبُ في السَّفَرِ، وَالْخَلِيفَةُ في الأَهْلِ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّى أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الضَّيْعَة في السَّفَرِ، وَالْكَآبَةِ في الْمُنْقَلَبِ، اللَّهُمَّ اقْبِضْ لَنَا الأَرْضَ وَهَوِّنْ عَلَيْنَا السَّفَرَ، فَإِذَا أَرَادَ الرُّجُوعَ قَالَ: آيبُونَ، تَائِبُونَ، لِربَنا حَامِدُونَ، فَإِذَا دَخَلَ بَيْتَهُ قَالَ: تَوبًا تَوْبًا، لِرَبِّنَا أَوْبًا لاَ يُغَادِرُ عَلَيْنَا حَوْبًا، وَفِى لَفْظٍ: فَإِذَا كَانَ يَوم يَدْخُلُ الْمَدِينَةَ قَالَ: تَوْبًا إِلَى رَبِّنَا تَوْبًا لاَ يُغَادِرُ عَلَيْهِ مِنَّا حَوْبًا".

"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".
