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.

When any of you marries a woman or purchases a maid-servant then let him say: Allāhumma innī as'aluka khayrahā wa khayra mā jabaltahā `alayh, wa a`ūdhu bika min sharrihā wa sharri mā jabaltahā `alayh.

When any of you marries a woman or purchases a maid-servant then let him say : O Allah, I ask You for the goodness of her, and the goodness upon which You have created her, and I seek refuge in You from the evil of her, and from the evil upon which You have created her. If you purchase a camel then take hold of the top of its hump and say the same.
