Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 27489 — What a man says on entering his home

Abd al-Karim said that when Umar bin Abd al-Aziz entered a house, he would say these words, meaning: "I enter in the name of Allah. All praise is for Allah. There is no power to do good except with the help of Allah. May peace be upon the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). O Allah, open for me the gates of Your mercy, admit me to a place of truthfulness, bring me out to a place of truthfulness, and assign for me from Your presence a clear help, and grant me mercy from Yourself. Indeed, You are the Most Bestowing. O Allah, protect me from above lest I be snatched away, protect me from beneath my two legs lest I sink into it, and protect me on my right and on my left from the accursed Satan."
