Sunan Ibn Majah 2252 (Book 12, Hadith 116) #31604
Praying for Goodness in Purchases

SUMMARY: When buying a slave woman or a camel, one should pray for the goodness within them and seek refuge from the evil.

It was narrated from 'Amr bin Shu'aib from his father that his grandfather told that the Messenger of Allah said: "When anyone of you buys a slave woman let him say: 'Allahumma inni as'aluka khairaha wa khaira ma jabaltaha alaihi, wa a'udhu bika min sharriha wa sharri ma jabaltaha alaihi (O Allah, I ask You for the goodness within her and the goodness that You have made her inclined towards, and I seek refuge with You from the evil within her and the evil that You have made her inclined towards)'. And he should pray for blessing. And if anyone of you buys a camel then he should take hold of its hump and pray for. blessing and say similar words".
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ الأَحْمَرُ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلاَنَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏ "‏ إِذَا اشْتَرَى أَحَدُكُمُ الْجَارِيَةَ فَلْيَقُلِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَهَا وَخَيْرَ مَا جَبَلْتَهَا عَلَيْهِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا وَشَرِّ مَا جَبَلْتَهَا عَلَيْهِ وَلْيَدْعُ بِالْبَرَكَةِ وَإِذَا اشْتَرَى أَحَدُكُمْ بَعِيرًا فَلْيَأْخُذْ بِذِرْوَةِ سَنَامِهِ وَلْيَدْعُ بِالْبَرَكَةِ وَلْيَقُلْ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us to be mindful of our purchases and to always ask Allah for His blessings when we buy something. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us that when we buy a slave woman or a camel, we should take hold of its hump and pray for blessing while saying words such as “O Allah, I ask You for the goodness within her/it and the goodness that You have made her/it inclined towards, and I seek refuge with You from the evil within her/it and the evil that You have made her/it inclined towards”.
