It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'When one of you leaves the Masjid, let him say: Allahumma inni as'aluka min fadlik. (O Allah, I ask You from Your bounty). And when he enters his house, let him say: Allahumma inni as'aluka min al-khairi wa al-khairi alladhi lam yakhzur.' (O Allah, I ask You for goodness and for the good which is not seen).
