Supplication when the mount (or vehicle) stumbles

One of the Companions reported that he was riding behind the Prophet ﷺ when the mount stumbled, and he said: "May Shaytan perish!" The Prophet ﷺ said: "Do not say 'May Shaytan perish,' for if you say it, he swells until he becomes like a house and says, 'By my might!' But if you say 'Bismi-Llah,' he shrinks until he becomes like a fly." So say:

"In the name of Allah."

[Abu Dawud 4982; Sahih al-Jami‘ as-saghir 7401]
