Remembrance 1 from Chapter 268
What to say when entering the marketplace

Lā ilāha illa-llāhu waḥdahu lā sharīka lah, lahu-l-mulk, wa lahu-l-ḥamd, yuḥyī wa yumīt, wa Huwa Ḥayyun lā yamūt, bi-yadihi-l-khayr, wa Huwa ‘alā kulli shay’in qadīr.
WE RELATE FROM the book of at-Tirmidhī and others that ‘Umar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb
reported that the Messenger of Allah
said: “If a person enters the market-place and says: ‘There is no god but Allah. He is Alone and has no partner. To Him belongs sovereignty and to Him belongs all praise; He gives life and He gives death; He is Alive and does not die; in His hand is all good; and He has power over all things,’ one thousand good deeds will be written for him, one thousand bad deeds will be expunged for him, and one thousand stages will be raised for him.” [1].
