Raising the Voice in Dhikr After Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is Abu 'Abdullah from Unayzah. He says: Some of the worshippers, after the prayer, raise their voices in dhikr (remembrance of Allah), which disturbs many of the worshippers and also occupies them from dhikr and du'a' (supplication). Is there a Shari'ah basis for this practice?

Answer:
Yes, yes. Raising the voices in dhikr after completing the obligatory prayers is a sunnah (recommended practice). Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), who was among the younger of the Companions, used to say:
We used to know the end of the prayer when we heard the dhikr,كنا نعرف نهاية الصلاة إذا سمعنا الذكر،
When we hear the voices of dhikr, we know that the prayer has ended. This indicates that this practice existed in the time of the Salaf (the earliest generations) and that it is a sunnah. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you and reward you with good,
