Narrated by Abdullah bin Busr Al-Mazini (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: When any one of you enters his house, he should say: "Bismillahi, amanna billahi, tawakkalna 'alallahi. O Allah! We ask You for the goodness and provision of entering and the goodness and provision of going out. We return seeking refuge in You from injustice and misguidance." The narrator added: "So, the devils say: "You cannot enter, nor can we find any way to harm him."
