It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: When one of you enters the mosque, let him send blessings upon the Prophet (peace be upon him) and say: 'Allah, open for me the gates of Your mercy.' And when he leaves, let him send blessings upon the Prophet (peace be upon him) and say: 'O Allah, I ask of You from Your bounty.'
