ONE HADITH A DAY
Narrated by Ibn Mᾱjah and Al-Hᾱkim · Hasan
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِذَا دَخَلَ أَحَدُكُمْ المَسْجِدَ فَلْيُسَلِّمْ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ وَلْيَقُلْ: اللَّهُمَّ افْتَحْ لِي أَبْوَابَ رَحْمَتِكَ، وَإِذَا خَرَجَ فَلْيُسَلِّمْ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ وَلْيَقُلْ: اللَّهُمَّ اعْصِمْنِي مِنْ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ»، وَلِلْحَاكِمِ: «وَإِذَا خَرَجَ فَلْيُسَلِّمْ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلْيَقُلْ: اللَّهُمَّ أَجِرْنِي مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ».
“Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "When any of you enters the mosque, let him send peace upon the Prophet and say: Allāhumma iftahli abwāba rahmatik (O Allah, open for me the gates of Your mercy). And when he leaves, let him send peace upon the Prophet and say: Allāhumma i‘simni min ash-shaytān ar-rajīm (O Allah, protect me from the accursed devil)." In another narration by Al-Hākim: "When he leaves, let him send peace upon the Prophet (ﷺ) and say: Allāhumma ajirni min ash-shaytān ar-rajīm (O Allah, save me from the accursed devil)."”
The Prophet (ﷺ) guided the Muslim, when entering the mosque, to send peace and blessings upon the Prophet (ﷺ) by saying: Allāhumma salli wa sallim ‘ala Muhammad (O Allah, send Your blessings and peace upon Muhammad), and then to say: Allāhumma iftahli abwāba rahmatik (O Allah, open for me the gates of Your mercy). And when he leaves, he should send peace upon the Prophet and say: Allāhumma i‘simni min ash-shaytān ar-rajīm (O Allah, protect me from the accursed devil). In another narration by Al-Hākim: And say: Allāhumma ajirni min ash-shaytān ar-rajīm (O Allah, save me from the accursed devil).
