بِسْمِ اللهِ، وَالصَّلاةُ وَالسَّلامُ عَلى رَسُولِ اللهِ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ، اللَّهُمَّ اعْصِمْنِي مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ، وَأَعِذْنِي أَنْ أَسْتَغْفِرَكَ إِلَيْكَ، وَارْزُقْنِي الرَّغْبَةَ فِيمَا عِنْدَكَ، وَالشَّوْقَ إِلَى رُؤْيَتِكَ.
In the name of Allah, and prayers and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah. O Allah, I ask of Your bounty. O Allah, protect me from the accursed devil. O Allah, grant me the desire to seek Your forgiveness, and grant me eagerness for what is with You, and longing to see You.
Bismillahi, was-salatu was-salamu 'ala Rasulillah. Allahumma inni as'aluka min fadlik. Allahumma 'isimi minash-shaytanir-rajim. Wa a'idhni an astaghfiraka ilayk, warzuqni ar-raghbata feema 'indik, wash-shawqa ila ru'yatik.

How to Read
Recite this sincerely with the intention of seeking Allah's protection and blessings. It's customary to step out with your left foot first after this dua, as you would when entering with your right foot.
Virtues & Benefits
While this specific dua focuses on seeking Allah's bounty, protection from Shaitan, and longing for Him, the act of leaving the Masjid with such supplication imbues your return journey with barakah.

This mindset naturally encourages better conduct, including maintaining good relations with your neighbors, as you strive to be mindful of Allah in all your interactions.
