Riyad as-Salihin, 714
Salim bin 'Abdullah bin 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:
When a man was to set out on a journey, 'Abdullah bin 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) would say to him: "Draw near so that I may bid farewell to you as Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to bid farewell to us. (The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to say: "'Astaudi'ullaha dinaka, wa amanataka, wa khawatima 'amalika' (I entrust Allah with your Deen, your trust and your last deeds)." <b>[At-Tirmidhi]</b>.
وعن سالم بن عبد الله بن عمر أن عبد الله بن عمر رضي الله عنهما كان يقول للرجل إذا أراد سفراً: ادن مني حتى أودعك كما كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يودعنا، فيقول: أستودع الله دينك، وأمانتك، وخواتيم عملك. ((رواه الترمذي، وقال: حديث حسن صحيح)).

<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br>
1) The Companions were keen to follow the Prophet’s example in all their affairs. A person should be careful to adhere to the Prophet’s guidance in terms of knowledge and application, for it is indeed the best guidance.<br>
2) The most precious thing a person possesses in his life and fears it may be lost is the religion. A blissful person would strive to keep and maintain his religion. Indeed, any shortcoming in other areas can be redressed by religion; but a shortcoming in religion cannot be redressed by anything.<br>
3) It is recommended that the Muslim supplicates for his fellow Muslim in all his affairs, including wishing for him a good ending of life.<br>
4) It is recommended to say farewell to travelers and supplicate for them, as the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) used to do.
