2598. It was reported from Abū Hurairah: "When proceeding on a journey, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ would say: 'Allāhumma antas-sāhibu fīs-Safārī wal-khalifatu fil-ahlī. Allāhumma innī a'ūdhubika min wa'thā'is-safari wa ka'ābatil-munqalab wa sūw'il-munzari fil-ahlī wal-māl. Allāhummaṭwi lanal-arda wa hawwin 'alainas-safar' (O Allāh, You are the Companion on the journey, and the Caretaker for the family. O Allāh, I seek refuge in You from the difficulties of journey, and from returning in great sadness, and from someone looking with evil at our families and wealth. O Allāh, gather for us the earth, and ease for us the journey)."

Arabic text

2598 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَجْلَانَ، حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدٌ الْمَقْبُرِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا سَافَرَ قَالَ: «اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الصَّاحِبُ فِي السَّفَرِ، وَالْخَلِيفَةُ فِي الْأَهْلِ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَعْثَاءِ السَّفَرِ، وَكَآبَةِ الْمُنْقَلَبِ، وَسُوءِ الْمَنْظَرِ فِي الْأَهْلِ وَالْمَالِ، اللَّهُمَّ اطْوِ لَنَا الْأَرْضَ، وَهَوِّنْ عَلَيْنَا السَّفَرَ»
