3887. It was narrated from Jâbir bin 'Abdullâh that he heard the Prophet ﷺ say: "When a man enters his house, and remembers Allâh when he enters and when he eats, Satan says: 'You have no place to stay and no supper.' If he enters his house and does not remember Allâh upon entering, Satan says: 'You have found a place to stay.' And if he does not remember Allâh when he eats, (Satan) says: 'You have found a place to stay and supper.'" (Sahih)
3887 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بِشْرٍ بَكْرُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " إِذَا دَخَلَ الرَّجُلُ بَيْتَهُ فَذَكَرَ اللَّهَ عِنْدَ دُخُولِهِ، وَعِنْدَ طَعَامِهِ، قَالَ الشَّيْطَانُ: لَا مَبِيتَ لَكُمْ وَلَا عَشَاءَ، وَإِذَا دَخَلَ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرِ اللَّهَ عِنْدَ دُخُولِهِ، قَالَ الشَّيْطَانُ: أَدْرَكْتُمُ الْمَبِيتَ، فَإِذَا لَمْ يَذْكُرِ اللَّهَ عِنْدَ طَعَامِهِ، قَالَ: أَدْرَكْتُمُ الْمَبِيتَ، وَالْعَشَاءَ "

Mentioning Allâh's Name upon entering the house means reciting the Prophetic narration at this time, and mentioning Allâh's Name before eating, means saying Bismillâh (With the Name of Allâh). Entrance of Satan in the house leads to disputes and lack of blessings. If Satan shares in food, it drives away the blessings, so Allâh's Name should be mentioned at both times.
