3 hadiths
رَوَى مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «كَانَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ فِي سَفَرِهِ إِذَا هَبَطَ سَبَّحَ وَ إِذَا صَعِدَ كَبَّرَ ».
Mu'awiyah ibn Ammar narrated from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, who said: "When the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى (peace and blessings of Allah سبحانه وتعالى be upon him and his family) was on a journey, he would glorify Allah سبحانه وتعالى (say 'SubhanAllah سبحانه وتعالى') when descending and magnify Allah سبحانه وتعالى (say 'Allahu Akbar') when ascending."

وَ رَوَى اَلْعَلاَءُ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «إِذَا كُنْتَ فِي سَفَرٍ فَقُلِ: اَللَّهُمَّ اِجْعَلْ مَسِيرِي عَبَراً وَ صَمْتِي تَفَكُّراً وَ كَلاَمِي ذِكْراً ».
Al-Ala’ narrated from Abu ‘Ubaydah, from one of the Imams عليه السلام, who said: "When you are on a journey, say: 'O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, make my traveling a source of lessons, my silence a form of reflection, and my speech a means of remembrance.'"
  • Shaykh Baqir al-Behbudi
    Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh
وَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ: «وَ اَلَّذِي نَفْسُ أَبِي اَلْقَاسِمِ بِيَدِهِ مَا هَلَّلَ اَللَّهَ مُهَلِّلٌ وَ لاَ كَبَّرَ اَللَّهَ مُكَبِّرٌ عَلَى شَرَفٍ مِنَ اَلْأَشْرَافِ إِلاَّ هَلَّلَ مَا خَلْفَهُ وَ كَبَّرَ مَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ بِتَهْلِيلِهِ وَ تَكْبِيرِهِ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ مَقْطَعَ اَلتُّرَابِ.
The Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى (peace and blessings of Allah سبحانه وتعالى be upon him and his family) said: "By the One in whose hand is the soul of Abu al-Qasim, whenever someone glorifies Allah سبحانه وتعالى by saying 'La ilaha illa Allah سبحانه وتعالى' or magnifies Allah سبحانه وتعالى by saying 'Allahu Akbar' upon an elevated place, everything behind them glorifies and everything in front of them magnifies with their glorification and magnification, until it reaches the end of the soil."
