The Sunnah
A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: "I intend to travel, so give me provision." He said: "May Allah provide you with the provision of taqwa (piety)." The man asked for more, and he said: "And may He forgive your sin." The man asked for still more, and he said: "And may He make goodness easy for you wherever you are."
