Seeking Help from Allah When Travelling

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ، هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَّامٍ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ الْحَنَفِيُّ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ ظَبْيَانَ، عَنْ حُكَيْمِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ أَبِي تِحْيَى، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ إِذَا أَرَادَ سَفَرًا قَالَ بِكَ اللَّهُمَّ أَصُولُ وَبِكَ أَجُولُ وَبِكَ أَسِيرُ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
Whenever the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was about to travel, he would make a prayer to Allah asking for His help and guidance. This hadith teaches us that we should always seek help from Allah in all our endeavors, especially when travelling. It is important to remember that no matter how far or near we are going, it is only through the grace of God that we can reach our destination safely and securely. We should also be mindful of the fact that even though we may have made all necessary preparations for a journey, it is ultimately up to God whether or not our plans will succeed. Therefore, it is important to always put our trust in Him and ask Him for His assistance before embarking on any journey.

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ also taught us that whenever we are about to do something, whether big or small, we should always start by asking God for His help and guidance first. This hadith serves as an example of how even something as simple as travelling can be done with faith in God’s power and mercy if one remembers to seek His aid before beginning any task.
