What to say when entering and leaving the mosque
Arabic
Romanisation
Allāhumma innī a‘ūdhu bika min Iblīsa wa junūdih.
Context
We relate in Abū Umāmah that the Messenger
said: “When any of you go out of the mosque, the army of Shayṭān call to one another and gather together as bees gather around their leader. So when any one of you stands at the door of the mosque he should say: O Allah, I seek Your protection from Iblīs and his armies. If he says this, then they will not harm him.” [5].The meaning of al-ya‘sūb is either male bees or their leader.
