Words to Say When Entering and Leaving a Masjid

1ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الرَّاشِدِيِّ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنْهُمْ (عَلَيْهِم الْسَّلام) قَالَ قَالَ الْفَضْلُ فِي دُخُولِ الْمَسْجِدِ أَنْ تَبْدَأَ بِرِجْلِكَ الْيُمْنَى إِذَا دَخَلْتَ وَبِالْيُسْرَى إِذَا خَرَجْتَ.
1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Salih ibn Sa‘id al-Rashidiy from Yunus who has said the following: “’A’immah, ‘Alayhim al-Salam, have said, ‘When entering a Masjid, it is better to step in with the right foot and to step out with left foot when leaving a Masjid.”
