Arabic Text
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ إِذَا اسْتَوَى عَلَى بَعِيرِهِ خَارِجًا إِلَى سَفَرٍ كَبَّرَ ثَلَاثًا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: "سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِينَ، وَإِنَّا إِلَى رَبِّنَا لَمُنْقَلِبُونَ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَسْأَلُكَ فِي سَفَرِنَا هَذَا الْبِرَّ وَالتَّقْوَى، وَمِنَ الْعَمَلِ مَا تَرْضَى، اللَّهُمَّ هَوِّنْ عَلَيْنَا سَفَرَنَا هَذَا وَاطْوِ عَنَّا بُعْدَهُ، اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الصَّاحِبُ فِي السَّفَرِ، وَالْخَلِيفَةُ فِي الْأَهْلِ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَعْثَاءِ السَّفَرِ، وَكَآبَةِ الْمَنْظَرِ، وَسُوءِ الْمُنْقَلَبِ فِي الْمَالِ وَالْأَهْلِ". وَإِذَا رَجَعَ قَالَهُنَّ وَزَادَ فِيهِنَّ: "آيِبُونَ، تَائِبُونَ، عَابِدُونَ، لِرَبِّنَا حَامِدُونَ".
Abdullah ibn Umar narrated: Whenever Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) mounted his camel for setting out on a journey, he would say “Allahu Akbar” (Allah is the Greatest) three times, then say: “Glory is to Him Who has subjected this to us, and we could never have it (by our efforts). And verily, to our Lord we are returning. O Allah, we ask You on this journey of ours for righteousness, piety, and such deeds as are pleasing to You. O Allah, lighten this journey for us and make its distance easy for us. O Allah, You are the Companion in the journey and the Successor over the family. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the difficulties of travel, from having a change of hearts and being in a bad predicament, and I seek refuge in You from an ill-fated outcome with wealth and family.” And when he returned, he would add: “We are returning, repenting, worshipping, and praising our Lord.”
