FIQH 2.69: SUPPLICATIONS UPON ENTERING AND LEAVING THE MOSQUES
It is a sunnah for one who wants to enter the mosque to enter with his right foot first and to say: “I seek refuge in Allah, the Exalted, and by His honorable face, and in His everlasting authority, [away] from the outcast Satan. In the name of Allah! O Allah, shower blessings upon Muhammad. O Allah, forgive my sins for me and open for me the doors of Your mercy.”
When one wants to leave the mosque he should step with his left foot first and say: “In the name of Allah! O Allah, shower blessings upon Muhammad. O Allah, forgive my sins for me and open for me the doors of Your bounty. O Allah, protect me from the accursed Satan.”
Fiqh 2.69 a: The excellence of proceeding to the mosque to attend salah
Abu Hurairah reports that the Prophet sallallahu aleihi wasallam said: “If anyone goes back and forth to the mosque [to attend the prayers], Allah will prepare for him a feast in paradise as often as he goes back and forth.” This is related by Ahmad, al-Bukhari, and Muslim.
Abu Sa’id reports that the Prophet sallallahu alehi wasallam said: “If you see a man frequenting the mosque, then testify that he has faith. As Allah says,’The attendants of Allah’s mosque are those who believe in Allah and the last day [At-Taubah 18].”‘ This is related by Ahmad, Ibn Majah, Ibn Khuzaimah, Ibn Hibban, and by at-Tirmidhi, who says it is hasan, and by al-Hakim who says it is sahih.
Muslim records, on the authority of Abu Hurairah, that the Messenger of Allah said: “If anyone purifies himself in his house, and then walks to one of the houses of Allah to fulfill one of the obligations laid down by Allah, then [each one] of his steps will erase one of his sins and the next will raise his degrees.”
Abu ad-Darda’ reports that the Messenger of Allah said: “The mosque is a house for every pious person, and Allah provides everyone whose house is the mosque with comfort, leisure, and a path to Allah’s pleasure, to paradise.” This is related by at-Tabarani and al-Bazzar with a sahih chain.
We have already mentioned the hadith which begins with words “Shall I not point out to you [an act] by which Allah erases sins and raises degrees. . . ?”
