Adhering to the number of tasbih and tahmid after prayer and increasing beyond it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
There are conditions for the tasbih after the obligatory prayer, such as, for example, must one adhere to thirty-three, or can he increase beyond that, or is increasing contrary to the Sunnah? And how is the tasbih and tahmid after the prayer, with some detail? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
There is no doubt that adhering to what was transmitted, which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) specified, is a required matter. He does this specification in compliance with what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) legislated. Adhering to this contains a great secret and a great benefit. If he wants to increase beyond that in the category of absolute dhikr, there is no harm. As for the restricted dhikr, he does not increase in it. The restricted dhikr is thirty-three tasbih, thirty-three tahlil, thirty-three tahmid, and concluding with: There is no god but Allah, no partner has He. His is all praise, for every thing. It is obligatory to adhere to this.
As for the absolute dhikr, a person remembers Allah at any time and in any number that is easy for him.
