773. It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "When anyone of you enters the mosque, let him send peace upon the Prophet, then let him say: 'Allâhumma aftahli abwâba rahmatik (O Allâh, open to me the gates of Your mercy).' And when he leaves, let him send peace upon the Prophet and say: 'Allâhumma-simni minash-shaitânir-rajim (O Allâh, protect me from the accursed Shaitân).' (Sahih)
773 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْحَنَفِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدٌ الْمَقْبُرِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " إِذَا دَخَلَ أَحَدُكُمُ الْمَسْجِدَ، فَلْيُسَلِّمْ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَلْيَقُلْ: اللَّهُمَّ افْتَحْ لِي أَبْوَابَ رَحْمَتِكَ، وَإِذَا خَرَجَ، فَلْيُسَلِّمْ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَلْيَقُلْ: اللَّهُمَّ اعْصِمْنِي مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ "

The reason behind asking protection from Satan is that, as long as a person is in the mosque, he is busy in the worship and remembrance of Allāh. Satan, therefore, has no sway over him. But as soon as he comes out of the mosque, Satan sees his opportunity to mislead him in his business affairs. That is the time when the person needs to come under Allāh's special protection so as to be secure from the evil machinations of Satan.
