Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 1528 — when the Prophet ﷺ travelled, he would
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ ، قَالَ : نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَعْمَرٍ قَالَ : نَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ قَالَ : نَا زَائِدَةُ عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ . عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- كَانَ إِذَا سَافَرَ ، قَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الضُّبْنَةِ فِي السَّفَرِ ، وَالْكَآبَةِ فِي الْمُنْقَلَبِ . اللَّهُمَّ اقْبِضْ لَنَا الْأَرْضَ ، وَهَوِّنْ عَلَيْنَا السَّفَرَ ، اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الصَّاحِبُ فِي السَّفَرِ ، وَالْخَلِيفَةُ فِي الْأَهْلِ I " . فَإِذَا كَانَ حِينَ يَرْجِعُ ، قَالَ : I " آيِبُونَ تَائِبُونَ ، عَابِدُونَ ، لِرَبِّنَا حَامِدُونَ I " ، فَإِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ يَقْدَمُ أَهْلُهُ ، قَالَ : I " أَوْبًا أَوْبًا إِلَى رَبِّنَا أَوْبًا ، لَا يُغَادِرُ عَلَيْنَا حَوْبًا . I " لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ زَائِدَةَ إِلَّا يَعْقُوبُ . وَالْمَشْهُورُ : مِنْ حَدِيثِ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ سَلَّامِ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ I " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) travelled, he would supplicate: 'Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min al-dubnati fi al-safar, wa al-ka'abati fi al-munqalab. Allahumma iqbid lana al-ard, wa hawwin alayna al-safar. Allahumma anta al-sahibu fi al-safar, wa al-khalifatu fi al-ahl' (O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the burden and worry of dependants on the journey, and from sorrow on returning. O Allah, fold up the distance of the earth for us and make the journey easy for us. O Allah, You are our Companion on the journey and the Guardian of the family left behind.)
Then, when it was time to return, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would say: 'Ayibuna, ta'ibuna, abiduna, li-rabbina hamidun' (We are returning, repenting, worshipping, and praising our Lord.)
Then, on the day he reached his family, he would say: 'Awban awban ila rabbina awban, la yughadiru alayna hawban' (We have returned, returned, returned to our Lord, a return that leaves no sin upon us.)
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Za'idah (may Allah have mercy on him) except Ya'qub (may Allah have mercy on him), while the well-known narration is that of Abu al-Ahwas Sallam bin Sulaym (may Allah have mercy on him) from Simak (may Allah have mercy on him)."
Then, when it was time to return, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would say: 'Ayibuna, ta'ibuna, abiduna, li-rabbina hamidun' (We are returning, repenting, worshipping, and praising our Lord.)
Then, on the day he reached his family, he would say: 'Awban awban ila rabbina awban, la yughadiru alayna hawban' (We have returned, returned, returned to our Lord, a return that leaves no sin upon us.)
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Za'idah (may Allah have mercy on him) except Ya'qub (may Allah have mercy on him), while the well-known narration is that of Abu al-Ahwas Sallam bin Sulaym (may Allah have mercy on him) from Simak (may Allah have mercy on him)."
