حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْمُقَدَّمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بِشْرٍ الْخَثْعَمِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا سَافَرَ فَرَكِبَ رَاحِلَتَهُ قَالَ بِأُصْبُعِهِ وَمَدَّ شُعْبَةُ بِأُصْبُعِهِ قَالَ " اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الصَّاحِبُ فِي السَّفَرِ وَالْخَلِيفَةُ فِي الأَهْلِ اللَّهُمَّ اصْحَبْنَا بِنُصْحِكَ وَاقْلِبْنَا بِذِمَّةٍ . اللَّهُمَّ ازْوِ لَنَا الأَرْضَ وَهَوِّنْ عَلَيْنَا السَّفَرَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَعْثَاءِ السَّفَرِ وَكَآبَةِ الْمُنْقَلَبِ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى كُنْتُ لاَ أَعْرِفُ هَذَا إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ حَتَّى حَدَّثَنِي بِهِ سُوَيْدٌ . حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ نَحْوَهُ بِمَعْنَاهُ . قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ حَدِيثِ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَلاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ .

Muhammad ibn ‘Umar ibn ‘Ali al-Muqaddami narrated to us; Ibn Abi ‘Adi narrated to us, from Shu‘bah, from ‘Abdullah ibn Bishr al-Khath‘ami, from Abu Zur‘ah, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) traveled and mounted his riding animal, he gestured with his finger—Shu‘bah extended his finger—and said: ‘O Allah, You are the companion on the journey and the guardian of the family. O Allah, accompany us with Your care and return us under Your protection. O Allah, draw the earth near for us and make the journey easy for us. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the hardships of travel and from a sorrowful return.’ Abu ‘Isa said: ‘I knew this report only through Ibn Abi ‘Adi until Suwayd narrated it to me.’ Suwayd ibn Nasr narrated to us; ‘Abdullah ibn al-Mubarak narrated to us; Shu‘bah narrated to us with this chain a report similar in meaning. He said: ‘This is a hasan gharib hadith from Abu Hurayrah. We know it only through Ibn Abi ‘Adi, from Shu‘bah.’’

The source describes the Prophet gesturing with a finger and notes that Shu‘bah demonstrated the gesture by extending his own finger.
قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى كُنْتُ لاَ أَعْرِفُ هَذَا إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ حَتَّى حَدَّثَنِي بِهِ سُوَيْدٌ
