Is it legislated to supplicate with: "My Lord, enable me to alight a blessed alighting, and You are the best of those who enable men to alight" when buying a new house or seeking provision through it?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The meaning of the noble verse: "My Lord, enable me to alight at a blessed alighting, and You are the best of those who enable alighting," is a request for blessings in a place and for good therein. It is permissible to supplicate with it upon moving into a new house or purchasing one. The predecessors used to recite it upon entering homes, mosques, and gatherings. It is also narrated from Mujahid that he would recite this verse along with "I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He created" when overseeing a house. And from Abu Umamah, that whoever recites it in a gathering is guaranteed by Allah for what he sat in, as long as he does not commit a new sin or utter obscenities.
