A questioner says: Regarding the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)Mishkat al-Masabih 2422, does this hadith include every dwelling, such that whenever I enter a home I say this supplication, or is it specific to deserts and open lands?

You are named upon entering, and you send blessings upon the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), yes.[An-Nur 24:61] meaning that some of you greet some of you [An-Nur 24:61], yes.
