Narrated by Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: 'When a man enters his house, let him say: Allahumma inni as'aluka khayr al-madkhali wa khayr al-makhraji, bismillahi walajna wa bismillahi kharajna wa 'ala Rabbina tawakkalna. Then he should greet his family, and when he leaves, let him say: Allahumma inni as'aluka khayr al-makhraji wa khayr al-madkhali, bismillahi kharajna wa bismillahi walajna wa 'ala Rabbina tawakkalna.'
