English translation

2603. It was reported from Az-Zubair bin Al-Walīd, from ‘Abdullāh bin (‘Umar), who said: “Whenever the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was traveling and night approached, he would say: Yā Arḍ! Rabbī wa Rabbukillāh, a’ūduhu billāhi min sharriki wa sharri mā fīki, wa sharri mā khuliqa fīki, wa min sharri mā yadibbu ‘alaiki. Wa a’ūduhu billāhi min asadin wa aswada, wa minal-ḥayyati wal-aqrabi, wa min sākinil-balad, wa min wālīdin wa māwalad (O earth! My Lord and your Lord is Allāh, I seek refuge in Allāh from your evil, from the evil of what you contain, from the evil of what has been created in you, from the evil of what creeps on you, and I seek refuge in Allāh from lions and large snakes, and from other snakes and scorpions, and from the evil of those who (Jinn and human) inhabit the land, and from the evil of what gives birth and his offspring).” (Hasan)

2603 - حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ، حَدَّثَنِي صَفْوَانُ، حَدَّثَنِي شُرَيْحُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنِ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرٍ، قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا سَافَرَ فَأَقْبَلَ اللَّيْلُ قَالَ: «يَا أَرْضُ رَبِّي وَرَبُّكِ اللَّهُ، أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شَرِّكِ وَشَرِّ مَا فِيكِ، وَشَرِّ مَا خُلِقَ فِيكِ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا يَدِبُّ عَلَيْكِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ أَسَدٍ وَأَسْوَدَ، وَمِنِ الْحَيَّةِ وَالْعَقْرَبِ، وَمِنْ سَاكِنِ الْبَلَدِ، وَمِنْ وَالِدٍ وَمَا وَلَدَ»
