The is very weak and has been narrated with two wordings: The first is: "When you enter your house, greet if there is anyone in it, and if there is no one in it, then greet me, and recite: 'Say: He is Allah, the One' once." The second is: "When you enter your house, greet if there is anyone in it, and if there is no one in it, then greet yourself, and recite: 'Say: He is Allah, the One' once." The similar hadith: "Whoever recites 'Say: He is Allah, the One' when he enters his house, poverty will be removed from the people of that house and the neighbors," is also very weak.
