Entering the house

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَلَجْنَا، وَبِسْمِ اللَّهِ خَرَجْنَا، وَعَلَى اللَّهِ رَبِّنَا تَوَكَّلْنَا

Bismillahi walajna, wa bismillahi kharajna, wa 'ala-llahi Rabbina tawakkalna.

“In the name of Allah we enter. In the name of Allah we leave. And upon Allah our Lord we rely.”

Sunan Abi Dawud 5096 (chain hasan per Ibn Baz; weak per al-Albani)

Al-Albani and Zubair Ali Za'i graded this narration weak (da'if) for a break in its chain; Ibn Baz considered its chain hasan. Remembering Allah (SWT) as you enter your home is itself sound: the Prophet ﷺ said that when a man mentions Allah (SWT) on entering his house and at his meal, the devil tells his companions there is no shelter and no supper for them (Sahih Muslim 2018).
