حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَجْلَانَ ، حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدٌ الْمَقْبُرِيُّ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ 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 " .
Narrated Abu Hurairah: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ proceeded on journey, he would say: O Allah, Thou art the Companion in the journey, and the One Who looks after the family; O Allah, I seek refuge in Thee from the difficulty of travelling, finding harm when I return, and unhappiness in what I see coming to my family and property. O Allah, make the length of his journey short for us, and the journey easy for us.

O Allah! You alone are the Companion in travel,

(the One who looks after and takes care of my household in my absence, my deputy). Remain with us with all Your benevolence,
and return us to our abode under Your protection and safety. O Allah! Fold the earth for us (make the distance short) and make the journey easy for us.
O Allah! I seek refuge in You from the hardships and difficulties of travel,
and I seek refuge in You from the sorrow and grief of returning unsuccessful and disappointed,
(or from finding my home in a changed and bad state upon return).
