Narrated by Abu Malik Al-Ash'ari: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'When a man enters his house, he should say: O Allah, I ask You for the good of entering and the good of exiting, in the name of Allah we enter, and in the name of Allah we exit, and in Allah, our Lord, we place our trust.' Then he should say: 'May our souls be blessed, and our sustenance be sufficient.' (Sunan Abi Dawud 3764. Graded Hasan by some scholars).
