This prayer is also said by individuals who have been saved from trouble. There is a tradition in the name of Rabbi Yehuda the Hassid, according to which a commitment in times of trouble to say "Nesmhat Kol Chai" after being saved is a virtue for being saved from trouble. Kabbalists added the recitation of Neshmat Kol Chai to the prayer for the journey as a virtue for a safe return from the journey. In the book Derech Yeshara, it is written: "A tried and tested Kabbalah, when a person leaves the city, he will say, "I accept upon myself that when I reach such and such a place, then I will say Nesmhat Kol Chai, bless me, etc., and when he arrives there he will fulfill his vow." The source of this virtue is not sufficiently clear. Many people cite the virtue in their books without a source. The author of Hemdet Yamim attributes the virtue to Rabbi Yehuda the Hassid. However, according to scholars, the author of Hemdet Yamim copied all the virtues regarding those setting out on a journey from the book Derech Yeshra, which did not provide a source for the virtue, and therefore attributing it to Rabbi Yehuda the Hassid has no basis.
