2235. It was narrated from Sâlim bin 'Abdullâh bin 'Umar, from his father, that his grandfather told that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "Whoever says, when he enters the marketplace: 'Lâ ilâha illallâh wahdahu lâ sharika lahu, lahu'l-mulk wa lahu'l-hamdu, yuhyi wa yumitu, wa Huwa hayyun la yamutu, bi yadihil-khairu kulluhu, wa Huwa 'ala kulli shay'in Qadir' (None has the right to be worshiped but Allâh alone, with no partner, to Him belongs all sovereignty and to Him is the praise, He gives life and gives death, and He is Ever-Living and does not die; in His Hand is all goodness and He is Able to do all things),' Allâh will record for him one million good deeds, and will erase from him one million bad deeds, and will build for him a house in Paradise." (Da'if)

Commentary
Going to the market for lawful needs is allowed.
Remembering Allāh at a place where the atmosphere is unmindful of Allāh is a matter of enormous reward.
A good deed performed according to the Sunnah, which apparently looks small, has a high status before Allāh ﷺ.
Only those words and supplications should be chanted and remembered which are authentically reported from the Prophet ﷺ; self made and self introduced remembrances must be avoided.
