Answer
Sayyiduna Jubayr ibn Mut’im (radiyallahu’anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam) told him:
‘O Jubayr! When you go on journey, do you love to be in a better condition than your companions, and with more provisions than them?’
I said, Yes indeed.
He said: ‘Recite these five surahs … by reciting the Bismillah before each surah and once at the end too.’
Sayyiduna Jubayr (radiyallahu’anhu) says:
‘I continued to practice this until I became the best of my traveling companions in appearance and provisions.’
(Musnad Abi Ya’la, Hadith: 7382. Also see: Majma’uz Zawaid, vol.10 pg.133-134)
The chain for this is weak, but suitable for practice, since ‘Allamah Jazari (rahimahullah) has also included it in his Hisnul Hasin.
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best,
