SUPPLICATIONS UPON JOURNEY’S END

984

“When the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, mounted his camel to set out on a journey he would recite: ‘Allah is Great’ three times. Then he would supplicate, ‘Exaltations to Him who has subjected these to us otherwise, we ourselves are not capable of it, indeed, to our Lord we are turning. O Allah, we ask You in our journey for righteousness and avoidance of sin, and for the deeds that please You. O Allah, make this journey easy for us and shorten its length for us. O Allah, You are the Companion on this journey and the Guardian of those we leave behind. O Allah, I seek Your protection from the hardships of the journey and that I may not encounter anything grievous on my return regarding my wealth, family and children.’

On his return he would repeat the supplication and would add, ‘We return in safety, turning to our Lord, worshiping Him and praising Him.’"

Muslim with a chain up to ibn Omar who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
