3447. Ibn 'Umar narrated that when the Prophet ﷺ wanted to travel, when he mounted his riding camel, he would say the Takbīr three times and say: Glory is to Him Who has subjected this to us, and we were not able to do it. And, surely, to our Lord are we returning[1] (Subhān Alladhī Sakhkhara Lanā Ḥādḥā Wa Mā Kunṇā Lahu Muqrinīn. Wa Innā Ilā Rabbīnā Lamunqalibūn). Then he would say: "O Allāh, I ask You in this journey of mine from righeousness and piety and actions that which you are pleased with. O Allāh, ease for us the path, and make near for us the distance of the land. O Allāh, You are the companion in the journey, and the caretaker for the family. O Allāh, accompany us in our journey, and take care of our families (Allāhumma Innī As'aluka Fī Safārī Hādha Minal-Birri Wat-Taqwā, Wa Minal-'Amali Mā Tarḍā. Allāhumma Hawwin 'Alainal-Masīra Waṭwi 'Annā Bu'dal-Arḍ, Allāhumma Antaṣ-Ṣāhibu Fīṣ-Safari Wal-Khalīfatu Fīl-Ahli Allāhumma Aṣhabnā Fī Safarinā Wakhlufnā Fī Ahlinā)." And when he would return to his family, he would say: "(We are) Returning, if Allāh wills, repenting, worshipping, and to our Lord directing the praise (Āibūna In Shā' Allāh, Tāi'būna 'Abidūna Lirabbīnā Hāmidūn)." (Ṣaḥīḥ) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan [Gharīb from this route].

٣٤٤٧ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ‌عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ ‌عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْبَارِقِيِّ ، عَنِ ‌ابْنِ عُمَرَ : أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - «كَانَ إِذَا سَافَرَ فَرَكِبَ رَاحِلَتَهُ كَبَّرَ ثَلَاثًا» وَقَالَ: {سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِينَ * وَإِنَّا إِلَى رَبِّنَا لَمُنْقَلِبُونَ} ثُمَّ يَقُولُ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ فِي سَفَرِي هَذَا مِنَ الْبِرِّ وَالتَّقْوَى، وَمِنَ الْعَمَلِ مَا تَرْضَى، اللَّهُمَّ هَوِّنْ عَلَيْنَا الْمَسِيرَ وَاطْوِ عَنَّا بُعْدَ الْأَرْضِ، اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الصَّاحِبُ فِي السَّفَرِ وَالْخَلِيفَةُ فِي الْأَهْلِ، اللَّهُمَّ اصْحَبْنَا فِي سَفَرِنَا وَاخْلُفْنَا فِي أَهْلِنَا. وَكَانَ يَقُولُ إِذَا رَجَعَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ: آيِبُونَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ، تَائِبُونَ عَابِدُونَ، لِرَبِّنَا حَامِدُونَ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ.

Commentary

The Prophet ﷺ after mounting the camel said Allāhu Akbar three times, so that pride may not overcome him. During that period the camel was the most prized riding animal. He also acknowledged the favor of Allāh ﷻ that he tamed the animal for our benefit. We had no power to control the animal, Allāh ﷻ made the animal under our control.
