وَعَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِذَا تَزَوَّجَ أَحَدُكُمُ امْرَأَةً أَوِ اشْتَرَى خَادِمًا فَلْيَقُلْ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَهَا وَخَيْرَ مَا جَبَلْتَهَا عَلَيْهِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا وَشَرِّ مَا جَبَلْتَهَا عَلَيْهِ وَإِذَا اشْتَرَى بَعِيرًا فليأخُذْ بِذروةِ سنامِهِ ولْيَقُلْ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ» . وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ فِي الْمَرْأَةِ وَالْخَادِمِ: «ثُمَّ لْيَأْخُذْ بِنَاصِيَتِهَا وَلْيَدْعُ بِالْبَرَكَةِ» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد وَابْن مَاجَه

‘Amr ibn Shu‘ayb reported from his father, from his grandfather, that the Prophet ﷺ said: “When one of you marries a woman or acquires a servant, let him say, ‘O Allah, I ask You for her good and the good of the nature You have fashioned in her, and I seek refuge in You from her evil and the evil of the nature You have fashioned in her.’ When he acquires a camel, let him take hold of the top of its hump and say the like.” In another narration concerning a woman or servant: “Then let him take hold of her forelock and supplicate for blessing.” Reported by Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah. Graded Hasan by al-Albani.
