14. One should recite the following duas when entering the marketplace:

Dua One:

لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيْكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ يُحْيِيْ وَيُمِيْتُ وَهُوَ حَيٌّ لَا يَمُوْتُ بِيَدِهِ الْخَيْرُ وَهُوَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرْ

There is no deity besides Allah alone, who has no partner. To Him belongs the kingdom (of the entire universe), and for Him is all praise. He gives life and gives death, and He is eternal and will not die. In His hands (control) alone lies all good and He has complete power over everything.

Hazrat Umar (radhiyallahu ‘anhuma) reports that Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “The one who enters the marketplace and recites this (abovementioned) dua, Allah will record for him one million good deeds, forgive one million sins and raise his status by one million ranks (and in one narration, it is also mentioned that Allah Ta‘ala builds a palace for him in Jannah).” [1]

Dua Two:

بِسْمِ اللهِ اَللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّيْ أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ هٰذِهِ السُّوْقِ وَخَيْرَ مَا فِيْهَا وَأَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا وَشَرِّ مَا فِيْهَا اَللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّيْ أَعُوْذُ بِكَ أَنْ أُصِيْبَ فِيْهَا يَمِيْنًا فَاجِرَةً أَوْ صَفْقَةً خَاسِرَةً

In the name of Allah. O Allah, I beg of You the good of this market and the good of what is in it; and I seek Your protection from the evil of this market and the evil of what is in it. O Allah, I seek Your protection from taking a false oath or incurring a loss while trading.

Hazrat Buraidah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that whenever Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) entered the marketplace, he would recite this (abovementioned) dua. [2]

[1] سنن الترمذي، الرقم: 3428 -3429، وقال: هذا حديث غريب

[2] المستدرك على الصحيحين للحاكم، الرقم: 1977، وقال العراقي في المغني عن حمل الأسفار في الأسفار 1/386: أخرجه الحاكم من حديث بريدة وقال أقربها لشرائط هذا الكتاب حديث بريدة قلت فيه أبو عمر جار لشعيب بن حرب ولعله حفص بن سليمان الأسدي مختلف فيه
