It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jubayr bin Mut'im (may Allah be pleased with him): the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "O Jubayr! Would you like, when you set out on a journey, to be the finest of your companions in appearance and condition, and to have more provisions than all of them?" I said: Yes, may my father and mother be sacrificed for you. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then recite these five surahs: 'Say: O disbelievers' (al-Kafirun), 'When the help of Allah and the victory come' (al-Nasr), 'Say: He is Allah, the One' (al-Ikhlas), 'Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of the daybreak' (al-Falaq) and 'Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind' (al-Nas); and begin every surah with 'Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim' (In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful), and end your recitation also with 'Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim' (In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful)." Sayyiduna Jubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I was a wealthy man with much property, yet (before this practice), whenever I set out on a journey, my condition was the shabbiest of all and my provisions were the least. But ever since the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) taught me these surahs and I began reciting them regularly, I am the best in condition among my companions during the journey and the one with the most provisions, until I return from that journey of mine.
