of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: "When you
want to set out on a journey, you have recite Soorat al-Kaafiroon,
an-Nasr, al-Ikhlaas, al-Falaq and an-Naas, butin one go, and start
with the basmalah and end with the basmalah." We need an answer to
this inthe light of the Qur'aan and Sunnah.
Praise be to Allaah.
The text of the hadeeth referred to in the question is as follows:
It was narrated that Jubayr ibn Mut'im said: The Messenger of Allah
(blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said to me: "O Jubayr, when
you set out on a journey, would you like to be the best of your
companions in appearance and quantity of provisions?" I said: Yes, may
my father and mother be sacrificed for you. He said: "Recite these
five soorahs: 'Qul yaayyuhal kaafiroon' [al-Kaafiroon 109], 'Idha ja'a
nasr Allahi wal fath' [al-Nasr 110], Qul Huwa Allahu ahad [al-Ikhlaas
112], Qul a'oodhi bi rabbi'l-falaq [al-Falaq 113] and Qul a'oodhu bi
raabi'n-naas [an-Naas 114]. Start your recitationby saying Bismillah
ir-Rahmaan ir-Raheem and end your recitation by saying Bismillah
ir-Rahmaan ir-Raheem." Jubayr said: I was rich and had a great deal of
wealth, and I used to set out with whomever Allahwilled I should set
out with on a journey, and I would be the worst of them in appearance
and the least in terms of provisions. From the timethe Messenger of
Allah (blessing and peace of Allah be upon him) taught me it, I have
neverstopped reciting them, and I am one of the best of them in
appearance and have the most provisions, until I come back from my
journey.
This was narrated by Abu Ya'la in his Musnad, 13/339, hadeeth no 7419.
This is a da'eef (weak) hadeeth; its isnaad includes unknown narrators.
Al-Haythami said concerning it in Majma' az-Zawaa'id (10/134):
(Itsisnaad) includes people who I do not know.
Shaykh al-Albaani said concerning it in as-Silsilah ad-Da'eefah
(6963): (it is) munkar.
Based on that, it is not valid to quote this hadeeth as evidence to
suggest that it is mustahabb to recite any soorahs of the Qur'aan
before travelling. By the same token, it is not validto quote it as
evidence for saying the basmalah at the beginning of each
