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.
