Hadith 1

قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ: «مَا اِسْتَخْلَفَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ بِخِلاَفَةٍ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ رَكْعَتَيْنِ يَرْكَعُهُمَا إِذَا أَرَادَ اَلْخُرُوجَ إِلَى سَفَرِهِ وَ يَقُولُ: اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَوْدِعُكَ نَفْسِي وَ أَهْلِي وَ مَالِي وَ ذُرِّيَّتِي وَ دُنْيَايَ وَ آخِرَتِي وَ أَمَانَتِي وَ خَاتِمَةَ عَمَلِي فَمَا قَالَ ذَلِكَ أَحَدٌ إِلاَّ أَعْطَاهُ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مَا سَأَلَ.

The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings of Allah (swt) be upon him and his family) said: "No man entrusts his family with a guardianship better than praying two units of prayer before leaving for a journey and saying: 'O Allah (swt), I entrust You with my soul, my family, my wealth, my offspring, my worldly affairs, my Hereafter, my trust, and the conclusion of my deeds.' No one says this except that Allah (swt), the Mighty and Glorious, grants them what they have asked for."
