Sunnahs and manners of travelling

٭     If it is convenient, travel in the night because distance at night is covered quicker as Sayyiduna Anas رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی عَـنْـهُ narrated, the Beloved Rasool           صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰى عَـلَيْهِ وَاٰلِـهٖ وَسَـلَّم has stated, ‘Travel at night, as the earth is folded at night.’ (Sunan Abi Dawood, vol. 3, pp. 40, Hadees 2571)

٭    It is Sunnah to say ﴿اَللّٰهُ اَكۡبَرُ﴾ when going up the stairs, walking upwards or our bus etc. is passing through such a street that goes upwards. Moreover, it is Sunnah to say ﴿سُبۡحٰنَ اللّٰهِ﴾ when coming down the stairs, or walking downwards. Sayyiduna Jabir رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی عَـنْـهُ narrated: We would say (اَللّٰهُ اَكۡبَرُ) when climbing upwards, and we would say ﴿سُبۡحٰنَ اللّٰهِ﴾ when coming downwards. (Sahih Bukhari, vol. 2, pp. 307, Hadees 2994)

٭    When you get off at destination, recite the following Du’a from time to time, اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ you will be safe from every loss:

اَعُوْذُ  بِکَلِمَاتِ  اللّٰہِ  التَّآمَّاتِ  مِنْ  شَرِّ  مَا  خَلَقَ

Translation: I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ from the evil that is created by Him. (Kanz-ul-‘Ummal, vol. 6, pp. 301, Hadees 17508)

       ٭When [you are] scared of an enemy, recite Surah Lee-Aeelaaf [Quraysh]. اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ you will be safeguarded from every evil. (Al-Hasan Al-Haseen, pp. 80)
