لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ وَهُوَ حَيٌّ لَا يَمُوتُ بِيَدِهِ الْخَيْرُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu yuhyi wa yumitu wa Huwa Hayyun la yamutu biyadihil-khayru wa Huwa 'ala kulli shay'in Qadir
There is no deity except Allah, alone without partner. His is the dominion and His is the 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 capable.
The marketplace is the most beloved place to Shaytan and the most hated place to Allah — because it is where people lie, cheat, swear false oaths, and become consumed by greed. Entering it with this dhikr is like carrying a torch into a dark room. The Prophet ﷺ said whoever says this upon entering the market earns a million hasanat (good deeds).
