Hazrat Fatimara, the daughter of the Holy Prophetsa, said:
“Whenever the Messenger of Allah entered the mosque, he would say:
بِسْمِ اللهِ وَالسَّلَّامُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْلِی ذُنُوبِی وَافْتَحْ لِي أَبْوَابَ رَحْمَتِكَ
“‘In the name of Allah; peace be on the Messenger of Allah. O my Lord, forgive me my sins and open the gates of Thy mercy to me.’
“When he would leave the mosque he would say:
بِسْمِ اللهِ وَالسَّلَّامُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْلِی ذُنُوبِی وَافْتَحْ لِي أَبْوَابَ فَضْلِکَ
“‘In the name of Allah; peace be upon the Messenger of Allah. Forgive me my sins, my Lord and open the gates of Thy grace to me.’”
(Sunan Ibn Majah, Kitab al-Masajid wal-Jamaat)
