The Time for Saying “O Allah, Help Me to Remember You”
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Shaykh Salih, regarding the supplication “O Allah, help me to remember You, thank You, and worship You well,” is it said before the taslim or after it?
Answer:
It is permissible to say it either way. It is reported that it is said after the prayer. “After the prayer” can mean at the end of it, or it can mean what follows it. So, whoever says it before the taslim has done correctly, and whoever delays it until after the taslim has also done correctly. All of this is considered “after the prayer.” Yes.
