What to say when entering a public bath (ḥammām)

Remembrance 1
IT IS SAID THAT it is mustaḥabb to mention the name of Allah Honorific symbol, and to ask Him for Paradise and seek His protection from Hell-Fire.
We relate in the book of Ibn as-Sunnī, with a weak isnād, that Abū Hurayrah Honorific symbol reported that the Messenger of Allah Honorific symbol said: “What an excellent house is the bathhouse which a Muslim enters! When he goes into it he asks Allah Honorific symbol for Paradise and he seeks refuge with Him from Hell-Fire.” [1].
