Rasoolullah (ﷺ) commanded us to mention Allah upon entering home and informed that, who does that devil can’t enter into the house with him. Fundamental dua upon entering home is giving salaam. Abu Malik Ash’ari (RA) narrated that, Rasoolullah (ﷺ) said that, when anyone from you enter into the house, he should recite these words and then give salaam to his family. The narrators of this narration are all trustworthy but there is a probability that the hadith is ‘Mursaal’.
