قَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، ثَنَا الْمُحَارِبِيُّ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ مُسَاوِرٍ الْعِجْلِيِّ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ؓ قَالَ:
لَمْ يُرِدْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ سَفَرًا قَطُّ إِلَّا قَالَ حِينَ يَنْهَضُ مِنْ جُلُوسِهِ: « اللَّهُمَّ بِكَ انْتَشَرْتُ، وَإِلَيْكَ تَوَجَّهْتُ، وَبِكَ اعْتَصَمْتُ، اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ ثِقَتِي، وَأَنْتَ رَجَائِي، اللَّهُمَّ اكْفِنِي مَا أَهَمَّنِي وَمَا لَا أَهْتَمُّ بِهِ وَمَا أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنِّي، وَزَوِّدْنِي التَّقْوَى، وَاغْفِرْ لِي، وَوَجِّهْنِي لِلْخَيْرِ حَيْثُمَا تَوَجَّهْتُ »

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ never intended a journey except that he said when rising from his sitting: “O God, by You I have spread out, and to You I have turned, and in You I have sought refuge. O God, You are my trust and You are my hope. O God, suffice me against what concerns me and what does not concern me and what You know better than I. Provide me with piety, forgive me, and direct me toward good wherever I turn.”
