Musnad Ahmad 664 (Book 5, Hadith 99) #34325
Seeking Guidance from Allah

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ advised to ask Allah for guidance and proper aim, and to think of directions when travelling and aiming an arrow when asking for proper aim.

It was narrated from Abu Burdah bin Abi Musa that 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) said: The Prophet said: 'Ask Allah, may He be exalted, for guidance and proper aim. When asking for guidance, think of directions when travelling, and when asking for proper aim, think of aiming an arrow".
حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفٌ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ كُلَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ بْنِ أَبِي مُوسَى، أَنَّ عَلِيًّا، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ سَلْ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى الْهُدَى وَالسَّدَادَ وَاذْكُرْ بِالْهُدَى هِدَايَتَكَ الطَّرِيقَ وَاذْكُرْ بِالسَّدَادِ تَسْدِيدَكَ السَّهْمَ‏.‏
