Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amr (may Allah be pleased with him): The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: 'When any of you marries a woman or buys a servant, let him say: Allahumma inni as'aluka khayraha wa khayra ma jabaltaha 'alayhi, wa a'udhu bika min sharriha wa sharri ma jabaltaha 'alayhi (O Allah, I ask You for its [or her] goodness and the goodness of what You have created it [or her] with, and I seek refuge in You from its [or her] evil and the evil of what You have created it [or her] with). And when he buys a camel, let him take hold of its hump and supplicate like this.'
