Narrated by Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "When one of you enters a mosque, he should send blessings upon the Prophet (peace be upon him) and then say: 'O Allah, open for me the gates of Your mercy.' And when he leaves, he should say: 'O Allah, I ask of Your bounty.'"
