حَدَّثَنَا
عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا
عَبْدُ اللَّهِ .
وَعَتَّابٌ قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا
عَبْدُ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا
شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ
فُلَانٍ الْخَثْعَمِيِّ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ
أَبَا زُرْعَةَ يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنْ
أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ : أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ إِذَا خَرَجَ سَفَرًا ، فَرَكِبَ رَاحِلَتَهُ ، قَالَ :
" اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الصَّاحِبُ فِي السَّفَرِ ، وَالْخَلِيفَةُ فِي الْأَهْلِ ، قَالَ : وَأُرَاهُ ، يعني قَالَ : وَالْحَامِلُ عَلَى الظَّهْرِ , اللَّهُمَّ اصْحَبْنَا بِنُصْحٍ ، وَاقْلِبْنَا بِذِمَّةٍ نَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ مِلْحِ وَعْثَاءِ السَّفَرِ ، وَكَآبَةِ الْمُنْقَلَبِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that whenever the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) set out with the intention of a journey and mounted his ride, he would recite this supplication: O Allah, You are my companion in the journey and my successor among my family, and You are the One Who seats (me) on the back of the mount. O Allah, accompany us with goodness and return us to our responsibility. We seek refuge in You from the hardships of the journey and the distress of returning.
