‘Salam Alaikum', before you enter houses
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 08 - 10 - 2010

Make sure you say the greeting of Salam when you enter your, or anyone else's, house. Some of the benefits are as great as Paradise, provision in this world and Allah's blessings.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “There are three who are under the protection of Allah and if he lives, he will be provided for and it will be sufficient for him, and if he dies, Allah will enter him into Paradise: Whoever enters his house and gives the Salam; whoever goes out to the mosque; and whoever leaves in the way of Allah.” (Abu Dawood; authenticated by Al-Albani)

Also, Anas narrated that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said to him, “Dear son, when you enter your house, say As-Salamu Alaykum to your family, for it will be a blessing (Barakah) both to you and to your family.” (Al-Tirmidhi; Hasan according to Al
