2.22 What A Person Should Say When He Enters The Masjid

٢۔٢٢ باب فِيمَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّجُلُ عِنْدَ دُخُولِهِ الْمَسْجِدَ

abudawud:465Muḥammad b. ʿUthmān al-Dimashqī > ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz / al-Darāwardī > Rabīʿah b. Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥman > ʿAbd al-Malik b. Saʿīd b. Sūwayd > Abū Ḥumayd or Abū Usayd al-Anṣārī

when any of you enters the mosque he should invoke blessing on the prophet ﷺ and then he should say: O Allah, open to me the gates of thy mercy. And when he goes out, he should say: O Allah, I ask thee out of Thine abundance.  

أبو داود:٤٦٥حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ يَعْنِي الدَّرَاوَرْدِيَّ عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا حُمَيْدٍ أَوْ أَبَا أُسَيْدٍ الأَنْصَارِيَّ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا دَخَلَ أَحَدُكُمُ الْمَسْجِدَ فَلْيُسَلِّمْ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ ثُمَّ لْيَقُلِ اللَّهُمَّ افْتَحْ لِي أَبْوَابَ رَحْمَتِكَ فَإِذَا خَرَجَ فَلْيَقُلِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ  

abudawud:466Ismāʿīl b. Bishr b. Manṣūr > ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. Mahdī > ʿAbdullāh b. al-Mubārak > Ḥaywah b. Shurayḥ > Laqīt ʿUqbah b. Muslim Faqult Lah Balaghanī Annak Ḥaddatht > ʿAbdullāh b. ʿAmr b. al-ʿĀṣ

I met ‘Uqbah b. Muslim and said to him: it has been reported to me that someone has narrated to you from the prophet ﷺ that when he entered the mosque, he would say: I seek refuge in Allah, the Magnificent, and in His noble face, and in his eternal domain, from the accursed Devil. He asked : is it so much only? I said: Yes. He said: when anyone says so. The devil says: he is protected from me all the day long.  

أبو داود:٤٦٦حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ بِشْرِ بْنِ مَنْصُورٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ عَنْ حَيْوَةَ بْنِ شُرَيْحٍ قَالَ لَقِيتُ عُقْبَةَ بْنَ مُسْلِمٍ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّكَ حَدَّثْتَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ قَالَ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ وَبِوَجْهِهِ الْكَرِيمِ وَسُلْطَانِهِ الْقَدِيمِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ قَالَ أَقَطُّ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَإِذَا قَالَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ الشَّيْطَانُ حُفِظَ مِنِّي سَائِرَ الْيَوْمِ
