Sunan Abi Dawud 2598 (Book 15, Hadith 122) #22889
Seeking Refuge in Allah During Travel

SUMMARY: The hadith is about seeking refuge in Allah from the difficulties of travelling, harm upon returning, and unhappiness in what one sees coming to their family and property.

Narrated AbuHurayrah: When the Messenger of Allah proceeded on journey, he would say: O Allah, Thou art the Companion in the journey, and the One Who looks after the family; O Allah, I seek refuge in Thee from the difficulty of travelling, finding harm when I return, and unhappiness in what I see coming to my family and property. O Allah, make the length of his journey short for us, and the journey easy for us.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَجْلاَنَ، حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدٌ الْمَقْبُرِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِذَا سَافَرَ قَالَ ‏ "‏ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الصَّاحِبُ فِي السَّفَرِ وَالْخَلِيفَةُ فِي الأَهْلِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَعْثَاءِ السَّفَرِ وَكَآبَةِ الْمُنْقَلَبِ وَسُوءِ الْمَنْظَرِ فِي الأَهْلِ وَالْمَالِ اللَّهُمَّ اطْوِ لَنَا الأَرْضَ وَهَوِّنْ عَلَيْنَا السَّفَرَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks of the importance of seeking refuge in Allah during travel. It is narrated by AbuHurayrah that when the Prophet Muhammad proceeded on a journey, he would say a prayer asking for protection from the difficulty of travelling, finding harm when he returns, and unhappiness in what he sees coming to his family and property. He also asked for Allah to make his journey short and easy. This hadith teaches us that we should always seek refuge with Allah before embarking on any journey or task as He is our companion who looks after us even when we are away from home.
