Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the supplication that is prescribed for the traveler to say before he departs?
Answer:
When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mounted his mount, he would say the well-known supplication for mounting: he would say Allahu Akbar three times, praise Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and say:[Az-Zukhruf 43:13-14], Sahih Muslim 1342. One should refer to the hadiths of travel in "Riyad al-Salihin" and other books.
Q: What does the traveler say to the one who stays behind?
A: I do not know of anything reported in this regard, but the remembrance of Allah is required for the believer, whether traveling or staying. So increasing the remembrance of Allah and seeking forgiveness, this is what is required constantly.
Q: And saying: "I entrust you to Allah, whose trusts are not lost"?
A: This is upon travel: I entrust to Allah: your religion, your trust, and the conclusion of your deeds.

سبحان الذي سخَّر لنا هذا وما كنا له مُقرنين وإنا إلى ربنا لمنقلبونO Allah, we seek virtue and piety from Thee in this journey of ours and the act which pleaseth Thee.
اللهم إنا نسألك في سفرنا هذا البِرَّ والتَّقوى، ومن العمل ما ترضى...Q: What does the traveler say to the one who stays behind?
