The groom’s supplication on the wedding night or when buying an animal

1. إِذَا تَزَوَّجَ أَحَدُكُمُ امْرَأَةً، أَوْ إِذَا اشْتَرَى خَادِماً فَلْيَقُلْ: ((اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَهَا، وَخَيْرَ مَا جَبَلْتَهَا عَلَيْهِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا، وَشَرِّ مَا جَبَلْتَهَا عَلَيْهِ، وَإِذَا اشْتَرَى بَعِيراً فَلْيَأْخُذْ بِذِرْوَةِ سَنَامِهِ وَلْيَقُلْ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ)).

   Idha tazawwaja ahadukumumra'ah, aw idhashtara khadiman falyaqul: Allahumma innee as'aluka khayraha, wakhayra ma jabaltaha 'alayh, wa a'oodhu bika min sharriha, washarri ma jabaltaha 'alayh, wa idhashtara ba'eeran falya'khudh bidhirwati sanamihi walyaqul mithla dhalik.

   (when you marry a woman or buy a maidservant, you should say:(O Allah, I ask You for the goodness within her and the goodness that you have made her inclined towards, and I take refuge with You from the evil within her and the evil that you have made her inclined towards.))(and if you buy a camel, then you should take hold of it’s hump and say likewise.)
