The answer

The remembrance (dhikr) is prescribed upon entering the market, which is a place of buying and selling, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Whoever enters the market," and in another narration: "Whoever says in the market." And if it is said upon entering a grocery store, there is no harm, because it is a place of shopping, and it is a recommended remembrance. Scholars have differed regarding the authenticity of the : "Whoever enters the market and says: 'There is no god but Allah alone, without partner. To Him belongs all sovereignty and praise. He gives life and causes death, and He is the Ever-Living who does not die. In His hand is all good, and He is over all things competent,' Allah will write for him a million good deeds, erase from him a million bad deeds, and raise him a million degrees." Some scholars have deemed it weak, while others have deemed it good ().
