It is reported that the Prophet

said: "If one of you marries a woman, or buys a servant, then let him say: 'Allãhumma 'innee 'as'aluka khayrahã, wa khayra mã jabaltahã `alayhi, wa 'a`outhu bika min sharrihã wa sharri mã jabaltahã `alayhi.⁽²⁵⁰⁾

and if he purchases a camel, then let him hold it by the tip of its hump , and let him say the same."
