Question:
He says: Is it necessary to adhere to the specific number in the dhikr after prayer without increasing or decreasing it, and also in the morning and evening adhkar, and do they have a specific time? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Allah, the Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy. All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. As for what follows, Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, has commanded the remembrance of Himself and the abundance thereof. He, the Exalted, said:
(41) O you who have believed, remember Allah with much remembrance (42) And exalt Him morning and afternoon.يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ ذِكْرًا كَثِيرًا وَسَبِّحُوهُ بُكْرَةً وَأَصِيلًا
[Al-Ahzab 33:41-42]
. He, the Exalted, said:
remember Allah much that you may be successful.وَاذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ
[Al-Anfal 8:45]
. He, the Exalted, said:
and the men who remember Allah often and the women who do so - for them Allah has prepared forgiveness and a great reward.وَالذَّاكِرِينَ اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا وَالذَّاكِرَاتِ أَعَدَّ اللَّهُ لَهُم مَّغْفِرَةً وَأَجْرًا عَظِيمًا
[Al-Ahzab 33:35]
. The "those who remember" mentioned in these verses, along with the attributes mentioned before them in the verse, refer to the states in which remembrance is prohibited, such as the state of relieving oneself and the like. In all other states, the Muslim remembers Allah in all his conditions, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to remember Allah in all his conditions, peace and blessings be upon him. This is absolute remembrance. There is also specific remembrance for times when it is recommended to perform it, such as the thirty-three tasbihs, the thirty-three takbirs, the thirty-three tahmids, and the completion of the hundred with
who has no partner. His is the Kingdom and praise is His and He has power over all thingsبلا إله إلا الله، لا شريك له، له الملك وله الحمد، وهو على كل شيء قدير
Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 638
. This is done after every prayer. If one performs it, he receives the reward; if he leaves it, he is not blamed, because it is recommended. If he adds to it, there is no harm, but if he reduces it, his reward is reduced, and he does not follow the Sunnah, since the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prescribed this number for his Ummah. If he reduces it, he does not commit a sin, but he does not receive the reward of the one who performs the complete remembrance. Yes.
