772. It was narrated that Abu Humaid As-Sâ'idi said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'When anyone of you enters the mosque, let him send peace upon the Prophet, then let him say: "Allâhummaftah li abwâba rahmatika (O Allâh, open to me the gates of Your mercy)." And when he leaves, let him say: "Allâhumma inni as'aluka min fadlika. (O Allâh, I ask of you from Your bounty)." (Sahih)
772 - حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ كَثِيرِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ الْحِمْصِيُّ وَعَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ الضَّحَّاكِ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ غَزِيَّةَ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِذَا دَخَلَ أَحَدُكُمُ الْمَسْجِدَ، فَلْيُسَلِّمْ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ لِيَقُلْ: اللَّهُمَّ افْتَحْ لِي أَبْوَابَ رَحْمَتِكَ، وَإِذَا خَرَجَ فَلْيَقُلْ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ "

The purpose of going to the mosque is worship, which would hopefully be the harbinger of Allâh's mercy. Hence it is that, while entering the mosque we pray for Allâh's mercy. Once out of the mosque, however, man becomes engrossed in worldly affairs, e.g., the earning of his bread-and-butter. It is, therefore, the time for him to ask for Allâh's bounty in order to get lawful and blissful sustenance.
