Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. In his last question, he asks: What are the prescribed dhikr after the obligatory prayer and after the Witr?

Answer:
The prescribed dhikr after the obligatory prayer is what is established in the hadith that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when he said the taslim, would say while facing the qiblah: "I seek Allah's forgiveness" three times, then he would say: "O Allah, You are the Peace and from You comes peace. Blessed are You, O Owner of Majesty and Honor." Then he would also say:
La Ilaha Illallah wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul-mulk wa lahul-hamd wa huwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadir, la hawla wala quwwata illa billahil-'azim; la ilaha ill-Allahuلا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، له الملك وله الحمد، وهو على كل شيء قدير، لا إله إلا الله
Sunan an-Nasa'i 1340Sahih (Darussalam)
, and we worship none but Him, offering Him our religion in pure sincerity, even if the disbelievers dislike it. After the Fajr prayer, he would say: "There is no god but Allah,
without any partner. To Him belong the Kingdom and praise, and He has power over everythingلا شريك له، له الملك وله الحمد، وهو على كل شيء قدير
Muwatta Malik 20:131
," ten times, and after the Maghrib prayer likewise, he would say this dhikr ten times. Then, after every prayer, following the tahlil mentioned above, he would say: "Glory be to Allah, praise be to Allah, and Allah is the Greatest," each phrase thirty-three times, and to complete the hundred, he would say: "There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He is over all things competent." As for after the Witr prayer, what is reported is that he would say after the taslim: "Glory be to the King, the Holy One," and he would repeat that three times. Yes.
