حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَی بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْکِنْدِيُّ الْکُوفِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ حُبَابٍ أَخْبَرَنِي أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُسَافِرَ فَأَوْصِنِي قَالَ عَلَيْکَ بِتَقْوَی اللَّهِ وَالتَّکْبِيرِ عَلَی کُلِّ شَرَفٍ فَلَمَّا أَنْ وَلَّی الرَّجُلُ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ اطْوِ لَهُ الْأَرْضَ وَهَوِّنْ عَلَيْهِ السَّفَرَ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَی هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 3445
Abu Hurairah [may Allah be pleased with him] narrated that : a man said: “O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), I intend to travel, so advise me.” He said, “Hold fast to the Taqwa of Allah, and (say the) Takbir upon every elevated place.” So when the man turned away he said: “O Allah make near for him the distance, and ease for him the journey (Allāhummaṭwi lahul-arḍa wa hawwin `alaihis-safar).”
