Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "Keep your livestock and family members inside from sunset until the darkness of ‘Isha’ ends (do not let them go outside)." Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says: To my knowledge, there has been a scribal error in the wording of this hadith. The original words are "fahmatul ‘isha’" (i.e., when the darkness of ‘Isha’ becomes intense). However, in the hadith, "fahwatul ‘isha’" has been mentioned. Other narrators besides Yusuf bin Musa have narrated the words "fahmah" or "fahwah."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that a man came to the service of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) while he was about to set out on a journey. He said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), advise me." The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "I advise you to adopt the fear of Allah, and to say 'Allahu Akbar' (Allah is the Greatest) when ascending every high place." Then, when that man departed, the Prophet (peace be upon him) made this supplication for him: «‏‏‏‏اللَّهُمَّ أزْوِلَهُ اْلأرْضَ وَهَوِّنْ عَلَيْهِ السَّفَرَ» ‏‏‏‏ "O Allah, fold up the distance of his journey and make his journey easy for him."

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that when we (during a journey) ascended a height, we would say Takbeer (Allahu Akbar), and when we descended, we would glorify Allah (say Subhan Allah).

Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash'ari رضي الله عنه narrates that we participated in a battle with the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم. Then (on the return) when we reached Madinah Munawwarah, the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said "Allahu Akbar." So the companions loudly recited "Allahu Akbar." Then the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said: "Indeed, your Lord is neither deaf nor absent. He is present among you (with His help, support, and knowledge). And He is present between the heads of your mounts (with His knowledge and power). (He hears and sees everything)."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "There are three types of people whom Allah Almighty dislikes. Among the three types of people whom Allah Almighty loves, one is the person (who is with a group) — the group travels all night until sleep becomes dearer to them than anything else, so they dismount from their rides and fall asleep. Then this person stands up (to offer voluntary prayer), beseeching Allah Almighty with tears and reciting verses from the Noble Qur'an. Then the rest of the hadith was narrated."

The companion of the Prophet (peace be upon him), Sayyiduna Suhaib (may Allah be pleased with him), narrates that whenever the Prophet (peace be upon him) intended to enter a town, upon seeing that town he would recite this supplication: «‏‏‏‏اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ السَّمَوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَمَا أَظْلَلْنَ، وَرَبَّ الأَرَضِينِ السَّبْعِ وَمَا أَقْلَلْنَ، وَرَبَّ الشَّيَاطِينِ وَمَا أَضْلَلْت، وَرَبَّ الرِّيَاحِ وَمَا ذَرَيْنَ، فَإِنَّا نَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ هَذِهِ الْقَرْيَةِ وَخَيْرَ أَهْلِهَا، وَنَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا وَشَرِّ أَهْلِهَا وَشَرِّ مَا فِيهَا» ‏‏‏‏ "O Allah, Lord of the seven heavens and all that they overshadow, Lord of all the earths and all that they carry, Lord of the devils and all whom they misguide, Lord of the winds and all that they scatter, indeed we ask You for the goodness of this town and the goodness of its people, and we seek refuge in You from the evil of this town, the evil of its people, and the evil of whatever is in it."

Sayyidah Khawlah bint Hakim Salmiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever stops at a place and then recites this supplication: «‏‏‏‏أَعـوذُ بِكَلِـماتِ اللّهِ التّـامّاتِ مِنْ شَـرِّ ما خَلَـق» ‏‏‏‏ 'I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He has created,' nothing will harm him until he departs from that place."

The Imam has narrated another chain of transmission for the aforementioned hadith.

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that whenever the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stopped at a place (during a journey) to rest, he would perform voluntary prayers before departing from there.

Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If people knew the harms of traveling alone that I know, then no rider would ever travel alone at night."
