665. hadíth

وَ فِي خَبَرٍ آخَرَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «كَانَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ إِذَا وَدَّعَ مُسَافِراً أَخَذَ بِيَدِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ» « أَحْسَنَ اَللَّهُ لَكَ اَلصِّحَابَةَ وَ أَكْمَلَ لَكَ اَلْمَعُونَةَ وَ سَهَّلَ لَكَ اَلْحُزُونَةَ وَ قَرَّبَ لَكَ اَلْبَعِيدَ وَ كَفَاكَ اَلْمُهِمَّ وَ حَفِظَ لَكَ دِينَكَ وَ أَمَانَتَكَ وَ خَوَاتِيمَ عَمَلِكَ وَ وَجَّهَكَ لِكُلِّ خَيْرٍ عَلَيْكَ بِتَقْوَى اَللَّهِ اِسْتَوْدِعِ اَللَّهَ نَفْسَكَ سِرْ عَلَى بَرَكَةِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ».

In another narration from Abu Ja‘far (a.s), he said: "When the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings of Allah (swt) be upon him and his family) bid farewell to a traveller, he would take their hand and say: 'May Allah (swt) grant you the best companionship, complete assistance for you, ease the difficult paths for you, bring near what is far, suffice you in your concerns, protect your religion, your trust, and the end of your deeds, and direct you toward all goodness. Be mindful of Allah’s (swt) piety. I entrust you to Allah (swt). Go forth with the blessing of Allah (swt), the Mighty and Glorious.'"
