Chapter on the Virtue of Mosques and Prayer Within Them, and the Virtue of Congregational Prayer and Its Rulings

Al-Husayn ibn Sa’id from al-Hasan from Zur’ah from Sama’ah who said: It was said: “When you enter the mosque, say: ‘In the name of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى. Indeed, Allah سبحانه وتعالى and His عز وجل angels send blessings upon (Prophet) Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and the family of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, And peace be upon them and the mercy of Allah سبحانه وتعالى and His عز وجل blessings. My Lord عز وجل, forgive me my sins and open for me the doors of Your grace.’ And when you leave (the mosque), say the same.”
