Good deed #433 – Look at sky and supplicate when leaving home

When Rasulullah (sallallahu’alaihi wasallam) would leave the house he would look towards the sky and recite the dua

Bismillahi tawakkaltu alallahi, Allahumma inniy a’oodhu bika an adilla aw udalla aw azilla aw uzalla aw azlima aw uzlama alayya aw ajhala aw yajhala alayya’.

Translation: In the name of Allah, I place my trust on Allah. O Allah! Indeed, I seek refuge in you for that I misguide anyone or that I become misguided or that I force others to err or that I be forced to do so, or that I oppress or become oppressed or I act ignorantly or any act of ignorance be carried out on me. (Sunan Abi Dawud hadith 5053; al-Tirmidhi hadith 3427)
