بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللّٰهِ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ اِلَّا بِاللّٰهِ

Translation: In the name of Allah, I place my trust in Allah and there is no might nor power except with Allah.

Narrated Anas ibn Malik (RA): The Prophet (ﷺ) said: When a man goes out of his house and say these words, the following will be said to him at that time: "You are guided, defended and protected." The devils will go far from him and another devil will say: How can you deal with a man who has been guided, defended and protected?

Umm Salamah (RA) narrated that: When the Prophet (ﷺ) would leave his house, he would say:

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللّٰهِ اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنَّا نَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ اَنْ نَزِلَّ اَوْ نَضِلَّ اَوْ نَظْلِمَ اَوْ نُظْلَمَ اَوْ نَجْهَلَ اَوْ يُجْهَلَ عَلَيْنَا

Translation: In the Name of Allah, I place my trust in Allah. O Allah! We seek refuge in You from slipping unintentionally or becoming misguided, or committing oppression or being oppressed, or acting ignorantly or being treated ignorantly.

A mu'min should recite these adhkar by his/her heart whenever (Day/Night) he/she goes outside.

Umm Salamah (RA) said, whenever Rasul (ﷺ) went outside my home he recite these words looking at the sky-

اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّيْ اَعُوْذُ بِكَ اَنْ اَضِلَّ، اَوْ اُضَلَّ، اَوْ اَزِلَّ، اَوْ اُزَلَّ، اَوْ اَظْلِمَ، اَوْاُظْلَمَ،اَوْ اَجْهَلَ، اَوْ يُجْهَلَ عَلَيَّ

Translation: O Allah, I seek refuge with You lest I should stray or be led astray, or slip (i.e. to commit a sin unintentionally) or be tripped, or oppress or be oppressed, or behave foolishly or be treated foolishly.

اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّيْ اَسْاَلُكَ خَيْرَ الْمَوْلِجِ وَخَيْرَ الْمَخْرَجِ بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ وَلَجْنَا وَبِسْمِ اللّٰهِ خَرَجْنَا وَعَلَى اللّٰهِ رَبِّنَا تَوَكَّلْنَا

Translation: O Allah! I ask Thee for good both when entering and when going out; in the name of Allah we have entered, and in the name of Allah we have gone out, and in Allah our Lord do we trust.

Rasoolullah (ﷺ) commanded us to mention Allah upon entering home and informed that, who does that devil can’t enter into the house with him. Fundamental dua upon entering home is giving salaam. Abu Malik Ash’ari (RA) narrated that, Rasoolullah (ﷺ) said that, when anyone from you enter into the house, he should recite these words and then give salaam to his family. The narrators of this narration are all trustworthy but there is a probability that the hadith is ‘Mursaal’.

اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللّٰهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ

Translation: Peace be upon you, and the Mercy of Allah and His Blessings.

To give salaam upon all is sunnah. Giving salaam upon spouse and family members is additional sunnah. It is recommended and have special rewards and those who have this character, this below mentioned hadith give glad tidings. Abu umama (RA) said that, Rasoolullah (ﷺ) said, “Allah will give guarantee and protection for three kinds of people. If he live then all of his matter will be protected by Allah and if he die then he will enter into jannah. (First one is) He who give salaam before enter into the house, he will enter in the protection of Allah….”

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ وَلَجْنَا، وَبِسْمِ اللّٰهِ خَرَجْنَا، وَعَلَى اللّٰهِ رَبِّنَا تَوَكَّلْنَا

Translation: In the name of Allah we enter and in the name of Allah we leave, and upon our Lord we place our trust.

Then give salaam to the people of the house. [1] When a person enters his house and mentions the name of Allah at the time of entering it and while eating the food, Satan says (addressing himself: You have no place to spend the night and no evening meal;[2]
