Imam al-Baghawi, the great muhaddith narrated in his book ­al-Mu’jam that the Companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him) used to receive the new year with this dua  O Allah, bring it (this month or year) to us with security, faith, wellness, Islam, protection from Satan, and approval and acceptance from the Most Gracious. اللَّهُمَّ أَدْخِلْهُ عَلَيْنَا بِالْأَمْنِ وَالْإِيمَانِ، وَالسَّلَامَةِ وَالْإِسْلَامِ، وَجوار مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ، وَرِضْوَانٍ مِنَ الرَّحْمَنِ. Talhah bin Ubaidullah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that at the sight of the new crescent, the Prophet (peace be upon him) used to supplicate: عن طلحة بن عبيد الله رضي الله عنه أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم كان إذا رأى الهلال قال‏:‏ ‏ “‏اللهم أهله علينا بالأمن والإيمان،والسلامة والإسلام، ربي وربك الله، هلال رشد وخير‏”‏. ‏(‏‏(‏رواه الترمذي وقال‏:‏ حديث حسن‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏ O Allah, bring it over us  with security and Iman; with safety and Islam. (O moon!) Your Rabb Lord and mine is Allah. May this moon be bringing guidance and goodness.” [Tirmidhi] As per another narration, Talhah bin `Ubaidullah said that when the Prophet (peace be upon him) would see a crescent moon, he would say: عن طَلْحَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَانَ إِذَا رَأَى الْهِلاَلَ قَالَ :‏ “‏ اللَّهُمَّ أَهْلِلْهُ عَلَيْنَا بِالْيُمْنِ وَالإِيمَانِ ، وَالسَّلاَمَةِ وَالإِسْلاَمِ، رَبِّي وَرَبُّكَ اللَّهُ ‏”‏ .‏ الترمذي.
