43 - Chapter: What to say upon returning from a journey (1)

3741 - Mahmud ibn Ghaylan narrated to us, saying: Abu Dawud narrated to us, saying: Shu'bah informed us, from Abu Ishaq, who said: I heard al-Rabi' ibn al-Bara' ibn 'Azib narrating
from his father: that when the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, returned from a journey, he would say: "Returning, repenting, worshipping, and praising our Lord." (2)

This is a good and authentic hadith.

Al-Thawri also narrated this hadith from Abu Ishaq, from al-Bara', but he did not mention in it: "from al-Rabi' ibn al-Bara'." The narration of Shu'bah is more correct.

On this topic, there are also narrations from Ibn 'Umar, Anas, and Jabir ibn 'Abd Allah.
