His Guidance in Glorifying Allah When Leaving or Entering the Home

When going out of his house, the Prophet used to say: “Bismillaah, tawakkaltu `ala Allaah" (In the name of Allah, I rely uponAllah), and then add: "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from leading someone astray or being led astray, from causing someone to slip or being caused to slip, from wronging someone or being wronged and behaving badly or someone behaving badly against me."

He said: "He who says upon leaving his home: 'Bismillaah, tawakkaltu `ala Allaah, la hawla wa la quwwata illa billaah' (In the name of Allah, I rely upon Allah. There is no might and no power except through Allah) will be told, 'You have been guided, given enough and  protected, and Satan will stay away from him'."

When he went out for the fajr prayer, he would say:

“O Allah, make light in my heart, light on my tongue, light in my hearing, light in my sight, light behind me, light in front of me, light  above me and light beneath me. O Allah, make great my light."

And he said: "When a man enters his house he should say, 'O Allah, I ask of You the best entrance and the best exit. In the name of Allah we enter and we rely upon Allah, our Lord,'  Then he should greet his family
