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

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

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»

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

"كانَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ إِذَا أرَادَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ في سَفَرٍ قَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الصَّاحِبُ فِى السَّفَرِ، وَالْخَلِيفَةُ فِى الأَهْلِ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّى أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِن الضَّيْعَة فِى السَّفَرِ، وَالْكآبَةِ فِى الْمُنْقَلبِ، اللَّهُمَّ اقْبِضْ لَنَا الأرْضَ، وَهَوِّنْ عَلَيْنَا السَّفَرَ، وَإِذَا أَرَادَ الرُّجُوعَ مِنَ السَّفَرِ قَالَ: تَائِبُونَ، عَابِدُونَ، لِرَبِّنا حَامِدُونَ، وَإذَا دَخَلَ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ قَالَ: تَوْبًا تَوْبًا لِرَبنا أوْبًا، لَا يُغَادِرُ عَلَيْنَا حَوْبًا".
