Ali Asadi narrates: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) taught him this: Whenever the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) mounted his ride to set out on a journey, he would say Takbeer three times and then recite:“Glory is to Him Who has subjected this (ride) to us, and we could not have subdued it (by ourselves).”O Allah! We ask You for goodness and piety in this journey, and for deeds that please You. O Allah! Make this journey easy for us and fold up its distance for us. O Allah! You are the Companion in the journey and the Guardian of the family. O Allah! I seek refuge in You from the hardship of travel, from witnessing any unpleasant sight (during the journey or upon return), and from any evil befalling my family, wealth, or children upon my return. The narrator states: When the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) would return, he would recite these same words and add these phrases: (We are) returning, repenting, worshipping, and praising our Lord.

Ali bin Rabi’ah Asadi narrates: Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) mounted his ride, and he recited“Bismillah.”When he sat firmly upon it, he recited:“All praise is due to Allah, Who has honored us, enabled us to travel on land and sea, provided us with pure sustenance, and granted us superiority over many of His creation. Glory be to the One Who has subjected this (mount) to us, for we could not have subdued it (by ourselves). Surely, to our Lord we shall return.”Then he said“Allahu Akbar”three times, then said:“O Allah! Forgive me, for surely none forgives sins except You.”Then Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) stated that once the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) did the same, and at that time I was riding behind him.

Ali bin Rabi’ah narrates: I was present with Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) when an animal was brought so that he could ride it. When he placed his foot in the stirrup, he recited Bismillah. When he sat upright on the back of the animal, he said Alhamdulillah three times, then recited:“Glory be to Him Who has subjected this (to us), and we could never have accomplished this (by ourselves).”This verse continues up to:“Indeed, to our Lord we will surely return.”Then he said Alhamdulillah three times, then Allahu Akbar three times, then said:“(O Allah) You are pure, I have wronged myself, so forgive me, for none forgives sins except You.”Then he smiled. I asked: O Commander of the Faithful, what made you smile? He replied: I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) do as I have done. Then he smiled, so I asked: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), what made you smile? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Your Lord is pleased with His servant when he says, ‘O my Lord, forgive me.’ Allah Almighty says: My servant knows that none forgives sins except Me.”

Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There is no doubt about the acceptance of three types of supplications: the supplication of the oppressed, the supplication of the traveler, and the supplication of a father for his child. (Imam Ibn Hibban (may Allah have mercy on him) says:) The narrator named Imam Abu Ja'far is Muhammad bin Ali bin Husayn bin Ali bin Abi Talib, that is, (he is Imam Baqir).

Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas narrates from Sayyidah Khawlah bint Hakim (may Allah be pleased with her), who reports that she heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say:“When a person stops at any place and recites these words: ‘I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He has created,’ then nothing will harm him until he departs from that place.”Imam Ibn Hibban (may Allah have mercy on him) says: The narrator named Ya’qub bin Abdullah is the brother of Bukair bin Abdullah bin Ashajj. And the narrator named Harith is Harith bin Ya’qub bin Abdullah bin Ashajj. The narrator named Harith bin Ya’qub is the father of Amr bin Harith al-Misri.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Whenever the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would travel and arrive at the time of suhoor, he would say:“The listener has heard the praise of Allah and also the excellence of His trial. O our Lord! Remain with us and bestow Your grace upon us! We seek Allah’s refuge from the Hellfire.”

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A man wanted to go on a journey, so he said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Advise me." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "I advise you to adopt the fear of Allah, and to say 'Allahu Akbar' (Allah is the Greatest) when ascending every height." When that man departed, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed: "O Allah! Fold the earth for him and make his journey easy for him."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When you travel during times of abundance, give the camel its due (i.e., allow it to graze), and when you travel during times of drought, travel quickly. And when you camp at night, avoid camping on the road, for it is the dwelling place of the creatures of the earth."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "If these people knew (how much harm there is) in traveling alone, then no rider would ever travel alone at night."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him): "When you travel through lush areas, give the camels their due (i.e., allow them to graze). When you travel through barren places, travel quickly, and when you camp at night, avoid camping on the road, for it is the dwelling place of the creatures of the earth."
