5500. It was narrated from ‘Abdullāh bin Sarjis that when the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ traveled, he would say: “Allāhumma innī a’ūduhu bika min wa’tḥā’is-safari, wa kābatil-munqalabi, wal-ḥawri ba’dal-kawri, wa da’watil-mazlumi, wa suw’il-munzari fil-ahli wal-māl (O Allāh, I seek refuge with You from the hardships of travel and the sorrows of return, from loss after plenty, from the supplication of the one who has been wronged, and seeing some calamity befall my family or wealth.)” (Saḥīḥ)

1. ‘Grief of return’: This means ‘that I return grief-stricken after having failed in my objective’.
2. ‘Loss after plenty (or decrease or recession after increase or addition)’: These are comprehensive all-embracing words, which cover in their range every gain and loss, good and evil, for instance, disbelief after Faith, illness after health, poverty after wealth or abundance, etc.
