اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِينَ، وَإِنَّا إِلَى رَبِّنَا لَمُنْقَلِبُونَ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَسْأَلُكَ فِي سَفَرِنَا هَذَا الْبِرَّ وَالتَّقْوَى، وَمِنَ الْعَمَلِ مَا تَرْضَى، اللَّهُمَّ هَوِّنْ عَلَيْنَا سَفَرَنَا هَذَا وَاطْوِ عَنَّا بُعْدَهُ، اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الصَّاحِبُ فِي السَّفَرِ، وَالْخَلِيفَةُ فِي الْأَهْلِ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَعْثَاءِ السَّفَرِ، وَكَآبَةِ الْمَنْظَرِ، وَسُوءِ الْمُنْقَلَبِ فِي الْمَالِ وَالْأَهْلِ. آيِبُونَ، تَائِبُونَ، عَابِدُونَ، لِرَبِّنَا حَامِدُونَ

Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, subhanal-ladhi sakhhara lana hadha wama kunna lahu muqrinin, wa inna ila rabbina lamunqalibun, Allahumma inna nas'aluka fi safarina hadhal-birra wat-taqwa, waminal-'amali ma tarda, Allahumma hawwin 'alayna safarana hadha watwi 'anna bu'dah, Allahumma antas-sahibu fis-safar, wal-khalifatu fil-ahli, Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min wa'tha'is-safar, waka'abatil-manzar, wasu'il-munqalabi fil-mali wal-ahli. ayibun, ta'ibun, 'abidun, lirabbina hamidun

Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest. “Glory be to the One who has subjected this to us, for we could never have done it ourselves; and to our Lord we shall surely return.” O Allah, we ask You on this journey of ours for righteousness and piety, and for deeds that please You. O Allah, make this journey of ours easy for us and fold up its distance for us. O Allah, You are the Companion on the journey and the One who takes care of the family left behind. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the hardship of travel, from a distressing sight, and from an evil return to property and family. We return, repenting, worshipping, and praising our Lord.

The last sentence (“We return …”) is added on the way home: on returning he ﷺ said the same words and added it.
