Summary
The Prophet SAW left guidance for travel so that a journey is blessed by Allah SWT. He liked to set out early in the day and on Thursday, and disliked a person travelling alone at night. He taught reciting the travel supplication before departing and after returning, saying takbir when ascending high places, tasbih when descending low places, and a prayer for protection upon arriving at the destination.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Nabi SAW amat suka keluar untuk bermusafir pada awal siang dan pada hari Khamis.
