When Someone Else is Going on a Journey

When Someone Else is Going on a Journey (192)
Salem said: 'Ibn `Umar used to say to the man, if he wanted to go on a journey: come closer to me and let me entrust you [bid you farewell] like the Messenger of Allah used to entrust us, then he would say: "'Astawdi`ul-lăha deenaka wa'amănataka wa khawăteemu `amalika.(204)
 
From another perspective, he used to - meaning the Prophet - when he would entrust someone off, he take hold of his hand, and not let go of it until the man would be the one to let go of the Prophet 's hand, and he mentioned this.
