2599. It was reported from Abū Az-Zubair, that 'Alī Al-Azdī informed him, that Ibn 'Umar taught him; "When the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ would go on a journey, after sitting on the back of the camel, he would say 'Allāhu Akbaru' (Allāh is the Most Great) three times, then say: 'Subhān-allādhī sakhkhara lanā hādḥā wamā kunnā lahu muqrinīn, wa innā ilā rabbinnā lamunqabilūna. Allāhumma innī as'aluka fī safarinā hādḥā al-birra wat-taqwā, wa minal'amali mā tarḍa. Allāhumma hawwin 'alainā safaranā hādḥā. Allāhummaṭwi lannāl-bu'dahu. Allāhumma antas-sāhibu fīs-safari, wal-khalifatu fil-ahli wal-māl' (Glory is to Allāh Who has placed this (transport) at our service and we ourselves would not have been capable of that, and to our Lord is our final destiny.[1] O Allāh, indeed I ask You for righteousness and piety in this journey of ours, and we ask You for deeds which please You. O Allāh, make our journey easy and let us cover its distance quickly. O Allāh, You are the Companion on the journey and the Caretaker for the family and wealth). And when he returned he would say that, and add: 'Āibūna tā'ibūn 'ābidūna lirabbīnā ḥāmidūn' (We are) Returning, repenting, worshipping our Lord, praising). And whenever the Prophet ﷺ and his armies ascended high ground they would say: 'Allāhu Akbar (Allāh is the Most Great),' and when they descended, they would say: 'Subḥan Allāh (Glory is to Allāh).' So the Salāt has been organized according to that.[1] (Ṣaḥīḥ)
