Recite this when entering the home. 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).
The Arabic and meaning are paired with Sunan Abi Dawud 5096 (chain hasan per Ibn Baz; weak per al-Albani). No special promise or count is added without a cited basis.
