I seek refuge with You from the difficulties of the journey and from the melancholy of being in a different place and from witnessing anything bad in the family and wealth.” And when he returned, he said: آئِبُونَ تَائِبُونَ عَابِدُونَ لِرَبِّنَا حَامِدُونَ.
“We return (home while) repenting, worshipping and praising our Lord.” [^6] His Du’a in the night while travelling In al-Awali: From the Noble Prophet (S): When he was traveling on a journey and night fell, he said: أَرْضُ رَبِّي وَرَبُّكِ اللٌّهُ. أَعُوذُ مِنْ شَرِّكِ وَشَرِّ مَا فِيكِ وَشَرِّ مَا يَدُبُّ عَلَيْكِ وَأَعُوذُ بِاللٌّهِ مِنْ أَسَدٍ وَأَسْوَدٍ وَمِنَ الْحَيَّةِ وَالْعَقْرَبِ وَمِنْ سَاكِنِ الْبَلََدِ وَوَالِدٍ وَمَا وَلَدَ. “O Earth! My Lord and your Lord is Allah.
I seek refuge from your evil and the evil of what is (living) on you and the evil of what walks upon you. And I seek refuge with Allah from every lurking predator and from the snake and the scorpion and from the inhabitants of the place - from them and their young.” [^7] His Du’a when he wore new clothes In al-Makarim: From the Holy Prophet (S) that when he wore new clothes he said: أَلْحَمْدُ لِلٌّهِ الَّذِي كَسَانِي مَا يُوَارِي عَوْرَتِي وَأَتَجَمَّلُ بِهِ فِي النَّاسِ.
📌“Praise be to Allah who clothed me with what covers my nakedness and with what I adorn myself among the people.” [^8] Note: Mufid al-Din al-Tusi has narrated something similar in al-Amali from Abi Matar, and similarly it has been narrated in al-Bihar (quoting) from al-Manaqib from Abi Matar.[^9] Also: When he (S) took off his clothes, he would take them off from his left side first; and it was his practice that when he wore new clothes he would praise Allah and then call a poor beggar in order to give him his old clothes.
