مُسْنَدُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَرْجِسَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ
Three-Narrator Ahadith 254
ʿAbdullāh ibn Sarjis (may Allah be pleased with him) — who, ʿĀṣim noted, had indeed seen the Prophet ﷺ — reported:
When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ set out on a journey, he would say, “O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the hardship of travel, from a sorrowful return, from deviation after firm standing, from the supplication of the wronged, and from an ill-fated sight in property and family.” And when he returned, he would say the same, except that he would say “in family and property,” mentioning the family first.

Musnad Aḥmad 254
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمٌ الْأَحْوَلُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَرْجِسَ، قَالَ عَاصِمٌ: وَقَدْ كَانَ رَأَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا خَرَجَ فِي سَفَرٍ قَالَ: «اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَعْثَاءِ السَّفَرِ، وَكَآبَةِ الْمُنْقَلَبِ، وَالْحَوْرِ بَعْدَ الْكَوْرِ، وَدَعْوَةِ الْمَظْلُومِ، وَسُوءِ الْمَنْظَرِ فِي الْمَالِ وَالْأَهْلِ» وَإِذَا رَجَعَ قَالَ مِثْلَهَا، إِلَّا أَنَّهُ يَقُولُ: «وَسُوءِ الْمَنْظَرِ فِي الْأَهْلِ وَالْمَالِ» يَبْدَأُ بِالْأَهْلِ

Chain: Abū Muʿāwiyah al-Ḍarīr → ʿĀṣim al-Aḥwal → ʿAbdullāh ibn Sarjis (may Allah be pleased with him). Rijāl: (1) Abū Muʿāwiyah: Abū Muʿāwiyah Muḥammad ibn Khāzim al-Ḍarīr (d. 195 AH); thiqah ḥāfiẓ, the most precise narrator from al-Aʿmash. (2) ʿĀṣim al-Aḥwal: ʿĀṣim ibn Sulaymān al-Aḥwal (d. 142 AH); thiqah. (3) ʿAbdullāh ibn Sarjis: ʿAbdullāh ibn Sarjis al-Muzanī; Companion (Ṣaḥābī) who later resided in Baṣrah. Takhrīj: Muslim, Kitāb al-Ḥajj (1342); Abū Dāwūd (2599); al-Tirmidhī (3439); al-Nasāʾī (5502). Commentary: This version preserves a subtle detail absent from the parallel report — that the Prophet ﷺ would reorder the phrase upon his return journey, mentioning family before property, whereas upon departure he mentioned property before family — a nuance the fuqahāʾ and language scholars have noted reflects a fitting rhetorical emphasis: concern for property while away, and concern for family upon returning to them.
