[3275] 425 - (1342) 'Alī Al-Azẓī narrated that when the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ mounted his camel and set out on a journey, he would say the Takbīr three times, then say: "Subhān Allāh alladhī sakhhara lanā hādhā wamā kunnā lahu muqrinīn, wa innā ilā rabbinnā l-munqalibūn Allāhumma [innā] nas'aluka fi safarinā hādhā al-birra wat-taqwa, wa min al-'amali mā tarḍa. Allāhumma hawwin 'alainā safaranā hādhā wātwi 'annā bu'dahu. Allāhumma antaṣ-ṣāhibu fis-safari, wal-khalifatu fil-ahli Allāhumma innī a'ūdhu bika min wa'thā'is-safari wa kābatil-manzari wa suw'il-munqalab fil-māli wal-ahli (Glory be 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. O Allāh, [we] 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 Successor (the One Who guards them in a person's absence) over the family. O Allāh, I seek refuge with You from the difficulties of travel, from becoming distressed and an ill-fated outcome with regard to wealth and family.)" And when he returned, he said the same words and added: "Ā'ibūna tā'ibūna 'ābidūna lirabbinā hāmidūn (Returning, repenting, worshipping and praising our Lord.)"
