Upon Entering The Home
In the name of God we enter and in the name of God we leave, and
upon our Lord we place our trust.'
…and then one
should greet his family with salaam.
Reference: Abu Daawood 4/325. The great scholar Ibn Baaz declared its chain Hasan (an acceptable Hadeeth although it does not reach the level of authenticity of a Saheeh Hadeeth. It is still considered an authority in Islaamic Law.), as in [Tuhfatul-Akhyaar], pg. 28. In Saheeh Muslim, #2018: ((If a person enters his house and remembers God as he enters and when eating, shaytaan says [to his companions], "You have no place [here] tonight to sleep or eat"))
