Dua When Leaving the Home



بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللّٰهِ ، لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللّٰهِ.
اَللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّيْ أَعُوْذُ بِكَ أَنْ أَضِلَّ أَوْ أُضَلَّ ، أَوْ أَزِلَّ أَوْ أُزَلّ أَوْ أَظْلِمَ أَوْ أُظْلَمَ ، أَوْ أَجْهَلَ أَوْ يُجْهَلَ عَلَيَّ.


Translation :

In the Name of Allah, I have placed my trust in Allah. There is no power (in averting evil) or strength (in attaining good) except through Allah.

O Allah, I seek Your protection from misguiding others or being misguided; from erring or others causing me to err; from oppressing others or being oppressed; and from acting ignorantly or others acting ignorantly towards me.


Transliteration :

Bismi-llāhi tawakkaltu ʿalal-llāh, lā ḥawla wa lā quwwata illā bi-llāh.

Allāhumma innī aʿūdhu bika an aḍilla aw uḍalla, aw azilla aw uzalla, aw aẓlima aw uẓlama, aw ajhala aw yujhala ʿalayy.


Hadith:

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Whoever says [the above] when leaving his house will be told: ‘You have been guided, you have been sufficed and you have been protected.’ Then one devil says to another devil: ‘How can you get to a man who has been guided, sufficed and protected?’” (Abū Dāwūd 5095, Tirmidhī 3426)

Umm Salamah (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhā) said: “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ never left my house without raising his eyes to the sky and saying [the above]. (Abū Dāwūd 5094, Tirmidhī 3427)

اَللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّيْ أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ الْمَوْلَجِ ، وَخَيْرَ الْمَخْرَجِ ، بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ وَلَجْنَا ، وَبِسْمِ اللّٰهِ خَرَجْنَا ، وَعَلَى اللّٰهِ رَبِّنَا تَوَكَّلْنَا.
