Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) says that the noble Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) used to recite this supplication when setting out on a journey: "O Allah, grant us that which will convey us to goodness, forgiveness from You, and Your pleasure. All goodness is in Your hand. Surely, You have power over all things. O Allah, You are the companion in travel and the guardian over the family. O Allah, fold the earth for us and make the journey easy for us. O Allah, we seek refuge in You from the hardship of travel, from a gloomy return, and from an evil sight concerning our family and wealth." O Allah! The best forgiveness and pleasure is obtained from You. All goodness is in Your hand. You have power over everything. You are the companion in travel and the protector of family and dependents. O Allah! Contract the earth for us and make the journey easy for us. O Allah! We seek Your protection from the hardship of travel, from bad sights, and from the bad condition of our family and wealth.
