Sunnah of enter Masjid

When the Messenger of Allaah -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam-would enter the Masjid he would say:

أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ وَبِوَجْهِهِ الْكَرِيمِ وَسُلْطَانِهِ الْقَدِيمِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ

* I seek refuge with Allaah The Supreme and with His Noble Face, and His eternal authority from the accursed shaytaan*

A’outhu bil-lahil ‘atheem, wa bi-wajhihil-kareem, wa bi-sultanihil-qadeem min ‘ash-shayanir-rajeemi

Then he said: "If anyone says this supplication then the shaytaan says: this person has been protected from me for the rest of the day."
