عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُرِيدُ سَفَرًا فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! أَوْصِنِي، قَالَ: ((أُوْصِيكَ بِتَقْوَى اللَّهِ وَالتَّكْبِيرِ عَلَى كُلِّ شَرَفٍ))، فَلَمَّا وَلَّى الرَّجُلُ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((اللَّهُمَّ ازْوِ لَهُ الْأَرْضَ وَهَوِّنْ عَلَيْهِ السَّفَرَ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that a man who intended to travel came to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and said: O Messenger of Allah! Advise me. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: I advise you to fear Allah and to say "Allahu Akbar" (Allah is the Greatest) whenever you ascend a high place. When that man turned to leave, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: O Allah! Fold the earth for this man (i.e., shorten his journey) and make his travel easy for him.
