The fourth question of the fatwa number ( 18147 )
Q 4: Is it prescribed for the one who prays to say: (Allah is the Greatest) after the taslim, before seeking forgiveness three times, based on the word (takbir) in the hadith of Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both):
he used to know that God’s Messenger had finished his prayer when he heard the takbirكنت أعرف انقضاء صلاة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بالتكبير
Mishkat al-Masabih 959
agreed upon by al-Bukhari and Muslim. If that is not permissible, then what is meant by the takbir in the hadith?

A 4 : The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when he would conclude the prayer with the taslim, would begin by seeking forgiveness, so he would seek Allah's forgiveness three times, then say:
"O Allah, You are As-Salam, and from you is As-Salam. You are blessed, O One of Magnificence and Generosity."اللهم أنت السلام ومنك السلام تباركت يا ذا الجلال والإكرام
Sunan Abi Dawud 1512Sahih (Al-Albani)
Then he would proceed with the rest of the dhikr that has been transmitted. As for the takbir mentioned in the hadith, what is meant by it is saying: ( Subhan Allah, Alhamdulillah, and Allahu Akbar ) after the prayer, thirty-three times each, and this is a way of combining the hadiths that have been transmitted regarding this. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
