The ruling on the takbir after Fajr and Maghrib

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The questioner:
He says: After finishing the Fajr and Maghrib prayers, is the prescribed dhikr "There is no god but Allah"

‘Abd ar-Rahman b. Ghanm reported the Prophet as saying, “If anyone says ten times before he departs and turns away his feet after the senset and the morning prayers, ‘There is no god but God alone who has no partner, to whom belongs the kingdom, to whom praise is due, in whose hand is good, who gives life, causes death, and is omnipotent,’ ten blessings will be recorded for him for every time he says it, ten evil deeds will be obliterated, he will be raised ten degrees, it will act as a charm for him from every unpleasantness and from the accursed devil, he will not be taken to account for any sin but polytheism, and he will be among those whose deeds are most excellent, except for one who may excel him by saying something more excellent than he did.” Ahmad transmitted it, and Tirmidhi transmitted something to the same effect from Abu Dharr up to “but polytheism”. He did not mention the sunset prayer, or “In whose hand is good", and he said this is a hasan sahih gharib tradition.

وحده لا شريك له، له الملك، وله الحمد، يقدر مني، وهو على كل شيء قدير عشر مرات

Mishkat al-Masabih 975, 976

, or does he say it without that?

The Shaykh:
Without that.

The questioner:
What do you mean, without that? I mean without it. Yes.

The Shaykh:
The takbirs of the ten after Fajr and after Maghrib were reported from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)

There is no god but Allah, alone, without any partner. To Him belong the Kingdom and praise, and He has power

لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، له الملك وله الحمد، وهو على كل

Muwatta Malik 20:131

, "the All-Powerful." And if he adds "He gives life and causes death," that is an addition of good.
