DU’A (SUPPLICATION) ON ENTERING AND LEAVING A MOSQUE

Abu Usaid al-Ansari as-Sa’id (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated ALLAAH’s messenger as saying, When one of you enters the mosque, he should say,

‘O ALLAAH! Open to me the gates of Thy mercy.’ And when he goes out he should say,

‘O ALLAAH! I ask Thee for Thy mercy. [Mercy] In other tradition sit has been reported that while entering a mosque the following may be added:

(O ALLAAH! Pardon my sins). [Ibn Majah]

Having entered a mosque, the following supplication should be said,

I seek refuge in ALLAAH, the Mighty in His noble being, in His power that is everlasting from the accursed Shaitan. [Al-Targhib (H)]
