On marrying: asking for her good
When one of you marries a woman, or takes on a servant, let him say: O Allah, I ask You for her good and the good of the nature You have given her, and I seek refuge in You from her harm and the harm of the nature You have given her. And when he buys a camel, let him take hold of the top of its hump and say the same.
A du'a for a new beginning: asking for the good in what Allah (SWT) has brought into your life and protection from any harm in it. Follow any timing or count stated in the cited narration; otherwise it may be used as a general personal du'a.
The Arabic and meaning are paired with Sunan Abi Dawud 2160 (hasan), Sunan Ibn Majah 1918 (hasan). No special promise or count is added without a cited basis.
