English narration
Narrated by عبد الله بن عمرو السهمي
Amr bin Shuaib on his father's authority said that his grandfather (Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As) reported the Prophet ﷺ said: If one of you marries a woman or buys a slave, he should say: "O Allah, I ask You for the good in her, and in the disposition You have given her; I take refuge in You from the evil in her, and in the disposition You have given her. " When he buys a camel, he should take hold of the top of its hump and say the same kind of thing. Abu Dawud said: Abu Saeed added the following words in his version: He should then tale hold of her forelock and pray for blessing in the case of a woman or a slave.

حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ يَعْنِي سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ حَيَّانَ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ ،عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : "
إِذَا تَزَوَّجَ أَحَدُكُمُ امْرَأَةً أَوِ اشْتَرَى خَادِمًا ، فَلْيَقُلْ : اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَهَا وَخَيْرَ مَا جَبَلْتَهَا عَلَيْهِ ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا جَبَلْتَهَا عَلَيْهِ ، وَإِذَا اشْتَرَى بَعِيرًا فَلْيَأْخُذْ بِذِرْوَةِ سَنَامِهِ وَلْيَقُلْ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ
" . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : زَادَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ : ثُمَّ لِيَأْخُذْ بِنَاصِيَتِهَا وَلْيَدْعُ بِالْبَرَكَةِ فِي الْمَرْأَةِ وَالْخَادِمِ .
