and ʿAbd al-Ghanī al-Maqdisī likewise recorded it in “Part Sixty-Three” (41/1) through Saʿīd ibn Khuthaym, from Ḥanẓalah, from him.

Al-Tirmidhī said, “A ḥasan, ṣaḥīḥ, yet singular (gharīb) report in this wording from the narration of Sālim.”

I say: it meets Muslim’s criteria, yet Saʿīd has been contradicted in his chain. Al-Ḥākim narrated it (1/442 and 2/97) through Isḥāq ibn Sulaymān and al-Walīd ibn Muslim, from Ḥanẓalah ibn Abī Sufyān, from al-Qāsim ibn Muḥammad, who said:

“I was with Ibn ʿUmar when a man approached him and said, ‘I intend to travel.’ He replied, ‘Wait until I bid you farewell,’ and he mentioned the supplication.”

Al-Ḥākim added, “Authentic according to the criteria of the two Shaykhs,” and al-Dhahabī concurred, and so it is.

Perhaps al-Tirmidhī judged it singular in the route of Sālim because these two trustworthy transmitters—Isḥāq ibn Sulaymān and al-Walīd ibn Muslim—differ from Ibn Khuthaym: the latter relates it as Ḥanẓalah narrating from Sālim, whereas they relate it as Ḥanẓalah narrating from al-Qāsim ibn Muḥammad from him, and their version is probably the sounder one.

Abū Yaʿlā also recorded it in his Musnad (2/270) through al-Walīd ibn Muslim alone.

C – Mujāhid reported:

“I set out for Iraq with another man, and ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿUmar escorted us. When he was about to take leave of us he said, ‘I have nothing with which to give you’—so reads the original; perhaps it means, ‘to admonish you’—‘but I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, “When Allah is entrusted with something, He preserves it.” Therefore, I entrust Allah with your religion, your trust, and the conclusion of your deeds.’”
