Hisham bin Qatadah al-Rahawi narrates from his father Qatadah: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) appointed me as leader over my people, I took hold of his blessed hand and began to bid him farewell. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
'Ja'alallahut-taqwa zadak, wa ghafara dhanbak, wa wajjahaka lil-khayri haythuma tawajjahta' (May Allah Almighty grant you piety (taqwa) as provision for the journey, forgive your sins, and direct you towards good, in whatever direction you turn.)
Al-Tabarani and al-Bazzar recorded it, and the narrators of both are thiqat (trustworthy).
