Hadith 9599

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدٌ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا سَافَرَ قَالَ : " اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَعْثَاءِ السَّفَرِ ، وَكَآبَةِ الْمُنْقَلَبِ ، وَسُوءِ الْمَنْظَرِ فِي الْأَهْلِ وَالْمَالِ ، اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الصَّاحِبُ فِي السَّفَرِ ، وَالْخَلِيفَةُ فِي الْأَهْلِ ، اللَّهُمَّ اطْوِ لَنَا الْأَرْضَ ، وَهَوِّنْ عَلَيْنَا السَّفَرَ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that whenever the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) set out on a journey, he would recite this supplication: O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the hardships of travel, from distress upon return, and from witnessing any evil in my family and wealth. O Allah, You are my companion in travel and my successor among my family. O Allah, fold the earth for us and make the journey easy for us.
