It is narrated from Abu Zubair that he asked Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) whether he had heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say that when a servant mentions the name of Allah upon entering the house and while eating food, Satan says: "You have no place to spend the night in this house, nor will you get dinner." But if a person does not mention the name of Allah when entering the house, Satan says: "You have found a place to spend the night." Then if he does not mention the name of Allah while eating, Satan says: "You have found both a place to spend the night and dinner." Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Yes, I heard this hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)."

It is narrated from Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her) that when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would leave the house, he would recite this supplication: Bismillah, tawakkaltu ‘ala Allah, … … aw yujhala ‘alayna (In the name of Allah, I place my trust in Allah. O Allah! I seek Your protection from slipping, or being led astray, or committing injustice, or being wronged, or acting ignorantly, or having ignorance imposed upon us).

Narrated from Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever among the Muslims leaves his house with the intention of traveling or for any other purpose, and at the time of leaving recites this supplication: BISMILLAH, AMANTU BILLAAH, I’TA SAMTU BILLAAH, TAWAKKALTU ‘ALALLAAH, LA HAWLA WA LA QUWWATA ILLA BILLAAH (In the name of Allah, I have believed in Allah, I have sought refuge with Allah, I have placed my trust in Allah, there is no power to avoid evil and no strength to do good except with Allah’s help)

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever recites this supplication upon entering the marketplace: LAA ILAAHA ILLALLAHU WAHDAHU LAA AREEKA LAHU, LAHUL-MULKU WA LAHUL-HAMDU, BIYADIHIL-KHAIRU, YUHYEE WA YUMEETU, WA HUWA ‘ALAA KULLI AY’IN QADE (There is no true deity except Allah, He is alone, He has no partner, sovereignty belongs to Him, all praise is for Him, in His hand is all good, He gives life and causes death, and He is powerful over everything), Allah Almighty will write for him one million good deeds, forgive one million of his sins, and build for him a house in Paradise.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The expiation for gatherings is that a servant recites this supplication at the end of the gathering: Subhanaka Allahumma wa bihamdika astaghfiruka wa atubu ilayk. (O Allah! You are pure, and with Your praise, I seek Your forgiveness and turn to You in repentance.)
