First Entry
When the Prophet (peace be upon him) was about to enter Khaybar as a victor, he stopped and said:
'O God, Lord of heavens and what they overshadow, Lord of the lands and what they are made to grow, Lord of the devils, and what into error they throw, Lord of the winds and what they winnow, we ask You for the good of this town, and the good of its people, and the good of what is in it, and we take refuge in You from its evil and the evil of its people, and the evil that is in it. Forward, in the name of God.' [Ibn Ishaq]
The Prophet used to regularly repeat these words, whenever he entered a town for the first time.
