وَعَنْ أَبِي مَالِكٍ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِذَا وَلَجَ الرَّجُلُ بَيْتَهُ فَلْيَقُلْ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ الْمَوْلِجِ وَخَيْرَ الْمَخْرَجِ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَلَجْنَا وَعَلَى اللَّهِ رَبِّنَا تَوَكَّلْنَا ثُمَّ لْيُسَلِّمْ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ ". رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد

Abu Malik al-Ash‘ari reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “When a man enters his home, let him say, ‘O Allah, I ask You for the good of entering and the good of leaving. In the name of Allah we enter, and in Allah, our Lord, we place our trust.’ Then let him greet his family.” Reported by Abu Dawud. The hadith was not studied by al-Albani.
