Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 31585 — A man intending to travel: what

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to set out on a journey, he would supplicate in this way: "O Allah, You are my companion on the journey and my deputy over the family. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the burden of dependents on the journey and from returning in a state of grief. O Allah, fold up the earth for us and make the journey easy for us."
