Hadrat Anas ibn Malik (may Allah swt be pleased with him) reported: "We returned with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah swt be upon him) from a journey and when we entered the suburbs of Al-Madinah, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah swt be upon him) said:
'Ayibuna, ta'ibuna, aabiduna, li-Rabbina hamidun'
(We are returning in safety, turning to our Lord, worshipping Him and praising Him).

He (peace and blessings of Allah swt be upon him) continued repeating these words till we entered Al-Madinah".

Muslim. Riyad-us-Saliheen (Hadith # 987)

[Message for us in hadith: When one returns from a journey and sees one’s town suburbs, he should start reciting the invocation mentioned in this hadith till he enters the city. These phrases express gratitude to Allah Subhanah wa Ta'ala for the safe return to one's hometown; they also express repentance, obedience and determination to worship Allah.]
