Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, taught Ali Azdi that when the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, set out on a journey and mounted his camel, he would say "Allahu Akbar" three times, then recite: "Glory be to Him Who has subjected this to us, while we were not able to subdue it, and surely to our Lord we must return. O Allah, we ask You for goodness and piety in this journey of ours, 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 our companion in the journey and the successor over our family. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the hardships of travel, from returning in sorrow and distress, and from witnessing any evil in my family and wealth." And in one narration: "O Allah, be our companion in the journey and our successor among our family." When the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, returned from the journey, he would say the same words and add these: "Returning, repenting, worshipping, and praising our Lord."
