Hadith 35661
Malik related to me that he heard that when the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, set foot in the
stirrup intending to travel, he would say, "In the name of Allah. O
Allah! You are my companion in the journey and the Khalifa of my
family. O Allah! Spread out the earth for us and make the journey easy
for us. O Allah! I seek refuge with You from the hardship of the
journey and from returning to sorrow and a distressing sight regarding
property and family."
Muwatta Malik Book 54, Hadith 34

Malik related to me from Safiyy, the mawla of Ibn Aflah that
Abu's-Saib, the mawla of Hisham ibn Zuhra said, "I went to Abu Said
al-Khudri and found him praying. I sat to wait for him until he
finished the prayer. I heard a movement under a bed in his room, and
it was a snake. I stood up to kill it, and Abu Said gestured to me to
sit. When he was finished he pointed to a room in the house and said,
'Do you see this room?' I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'There was a young boy
in it who had just got married. He went out with the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, to al-Khandaq, (the
ditch which the muslims dug in the 5th year of the Hijra to defend
Madina against the Quraysh and their allies).
When he was
there, the youth came and asked his permission, saying, "Messenger of
Allah. Give me permission to return to my family." The Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, gave him permission
and said, "Take your weapons with you, for I fear the Banu Quraydha
tribe. They may harm you." The youth went to his family and found his
wife standing between the two doors. He lifted his spear to stab her
as jealousy had been aroused in him. She said, "Don't be hasty until
you go in and see what is in your house." He entered and found a snake
coiled up on his bed. He transfixed it with his spear and then went
out with it and pitched it into the house. The snake stirred on the
end of the spear and the youth fell dead. No one knew which of them
died first, the snake or the youth. That was mentioned to the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and he
said, "There are jinn in Madina who have become muslim. When you see
one of them, call out to it for three days. If it appears after that,
then kill it, for it is a shaytan." "' Muwatta Malik Book 54, Hadith 33

Malik related to me from a reliable
source of his from Yaqub ibn Abdullah al-Ashajj from Bushr ibn Said
from Sad ibn Abi Waqqas from Khawla bint Hakim that the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Whoever
dismounts to rest in a place should say, 'I seek refuge with the
complete words of Allah from the evil of what he created,' (audhu bi
kalimati-llahi at-tammati min sharri ma khalaqa), and nothing will
harm him until he remounts." Muwatta Malik Book 54, Hadith 35
