Daily duas and dhikr for pilgrims

Said when stepping out of the house (hadith of Anas ibn Malik, narrated by Abu Dawud 5095).

بِاسْمِ اللهِ، تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللهِ، لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ

Bismillah, tawakkaltu 'alallah, la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah.

In the name of Allah, I place my trust in Allah, and there is no might nor power except through Allah.

Ibn Umar reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said it when his mount set off on a journey (narrated by Muslim 1342). Its opening is from Surah az-Zukhruf 43:13–14.

اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِينَ وَإِنَّا إِلَى رَبِّنَا لَمُنْقَلِبُونَ، اللهُمَّ إِنَّا نَسْأَلُكَ فِي سَفَرِنَا هَذَا الْبِرَّ وَالتَّقْوَى، وَمِنَ الْعَمَلِ مَا تَرْضَى، اللهُمَّ هَوِّنْ عَلَيْنَا سَفَرَنَا هَذَا، وَاطْوِ عَنَّا بُعْدَهُ، اللهُمَّ أَنْتَ الصَّاحِبُ فِي السَّفَرِ، وَالْخَلِيفَةُ فِي الْأَهْلِ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَعْثَاءِ السَّفَرِ، وَكَآبَةِ الْمَنْظَرِ، وَسُوءِ الْمُنْقَلَبِ فِي الْمَالِ وَالْأَهْلِ

Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar. Subhanal-ladzi sakhkhara lana hadza wa ma kunna lahu muqrinin, wa inna ila rabbina lamunqalibun. Allahumma inna nas'aluka fi safarina hadzal-birra wat-taqwa, wa minal-'amali ma tardha. Allahumma hawwin 'alaina safarana hadza, wathwi 'anna bu'dah. Allahumma antas-sahibu fis-safar, wal-khalifatu fil-ahl. Allahumma inni a'udzu bika min wa'tha'is-safar, wa ka'abatil-manzar, wa su'il-munqalabi fil-mali wal-ahl.

Allah is the Greatest! Allah is the Greatest! Allah is the Greatest! Glory be to the One who has placed this at our service, for we could never have done so ourselves, and to our Lord we shall surely return. O Allah, we ask You on this journey of ours for righteousness and piety, and for deeds that please You. O Allah, make this journey easy for us and shorten its distance. O Allah, You are the Companion on the journey and the Guardian of the family left behind. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the hardship of travel, from distressing sights, and from an ill return to property and family.

Thawban reported that on finishing the prayer the Prophet (peace be upon him) sought forgiveness three times, then said this (narrated by Muslim).

اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ السَّلاَمُ وَمِنْكَ السَّلاَمُ تَبَارَكْتَ ذَا الْجَلاَلِ وَالإِكْرَامِ

Allahumma antas-salam, wa minkas-salam, tabarakta dzal-jalali wal-ikram.

O Allah, You are as-Salam (Peace), and from You comes peace. Blessed are You, Possessor of majesty and honour.

Al-Mughirah ibn Shu‘bah reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said this after finishing the prayer with the salam (narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim).

لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ اللَّهُمَّ لاَ مَانِعَ لِمَا أَعْطَيْتَ وَلاَ مُعْطِىَ لِمَا مَنَعْتَ وَلاَ يَنْفَعُ ذَا الْجَدِّ مِنْكَ الْجَدُّ

La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la syarika lah, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu wa huwa 'ala kulli syai'in qadir. Allahumma la mani'a lima a'taita, wa la mu'tiya lima mana'ta, wa la yanfa'u dzal-jaddi minkal-jadd.

There is no god but Allah alone, without partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He has power over all things. O Allah, none can withhold what You give, none can give what You withhold, and the wealth and standing of their owner avail nothing against You.

Abu Hurayrah (narrated by Muslim): after every prayer, say Subhanallah 33 times, Alhamdulillah 33 times and Allahu akbar 33 times (99 in all), then complete the hundred with the words below; one’s sins are forgiven even if they are like the foam of the sea.

لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la syarika lah, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu wa huwa 'ala kulli syai'in qadir.

There is no god but Allah alone, without partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He has power over all things.

The Federal Territory Mufti: recommended after every obligatory prayer, based on the hadith of Abu Umamah (graded authentic by Ibn Hibban). Surah al-Baqarah 2:255.

اللَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ لَا تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلَا نَوْمٌ لَّهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ مَن ذَا الَّذِي يَشْفَعُ عِندَهُ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَيْءٍ مِّنْ عِلْمِهِ إِلَّا بِمَا شَاءَ وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَلَا يَئُودُهُ حِفْظُهُمَا وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ

Allahu la ilaha illa huwal-hayyul-qayyum, la ta'khudzuhu sinatun wa la naum, lahu ma fis-samawati wa ma fil-ardh, man dzal-ladzi yasyfa'u 'indahu illa bi-idznih, ya'lamu ma baina aidihim wa ma khalfahum, wa la yuhituna bisyai'im min 'ilmihi illa bima sya', wasi'a kursiyyuhus-samawati wal-ardh, wa la ya'uduhu hifzuhuma, wa huwal-'aliyyul-'azim.

Allāh - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Self-Sustaining. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursī extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.

The Federal Territory Mufti cites Ibn al-Qayyim: each chain of this hadith has a weakness, but together they strengthen one another; Ibn Hibban graded it authentic.

Hadith of Shaddad ibn Aws (narrated by al-Bukhari): whoever says it by day with conviction and dies before evening, or by night and dies before morning, is among the people of Paradise.

اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّي لاَ إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ، خَلَقْتَنِي وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ، وَأَنَا عَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ، أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ، أَبُوءُ لَكَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ عَلَيَّ، وَأَبُوءُ لَكَ بِذَنْبِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي، فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ

Allahumma anta rabbi la ilaha illa ant, khalaqtani wa ana 'abduk, wa ana 'ala 'ahdika wa wa'dika mastata't, a'udzu bika min syarri ma sana't, abu'u laka bini'matika 'alayya, wa abu'u laka bidzanbi faghfir li, fa innahu la yaghfirudz-dzunuba illa ant.

O Allah, You are my Lord; there is no god but You. You created me and I am Your servant. I hold to Your covenant and Your promise as far as I am able. I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done. I acknowledge Your favour upon me and I acknowledge my sin to You, so forgive me, for none forgives sins but You.

The practice of the Companion Ibn ‘Abbas (narrated by al-Hakim in al-Mustadrak), not wording taught directly by the Prophet. The Arabic is copied as it appears in the source.

اَللَّهُمَّ أَسْأَلُكَ عِلْمًا نَافِعَا، وَرِزْقًا وَاسِعًا، وَشِفَاءً مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ

Allahumma as'aluka 'ilman nafi'an, wa rizqan wasi'an, wa syifa'an min kulli da'.

O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge, abundant provision and healing from every illness.

Status of the hadith “Zamzam is for whatever it is drunk for”: al-Nawawi (al-Majmu‘) graded al-Bayhaqi’s narration weak; al-Hakim and al-Suyuti graded it authentic, and Ibn Hajar held it usable as proof through all its chains. The Federal Territory Mufti inclines to authentic or good (hasan).
