Astawdi’ul laha dinaka wa amanataka wa khawatima ‘amalik

Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:
‘ZawwadakAllahut taqwa’. The Sahabi said: ‘Give me more’. Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: ‘wa ghafara dhanbak’. The Sahabi said: ‘Give me more, may my parents be sacrificed for you’. Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) then said: ‘wa yassara lakal khayra haythuma kunta’
(زودك الله التقوى و غفر ذنبك و يسر لك الخير حيثما كنت)

May Allah grant you taqwa as your provision, may He forgive your sins and may He make good easy for you wherever you may be.

Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: Hold fast on to fearing Allah [taqwa], and reciting ‘Allahu Akbar’ when ascending any elevated place.’ When this Sahabi turned around [to leave], Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:
‘Allahummat wi lahul bu’d wa hawwin ‘alayhis safar’
(أللهم اطو له البعد و هون عليه السفر)
