Takbir after the obligatory prayerالتكبير بعد الصلاة المكتوبة
and before seeking forgiveness and the dhikr?

Answer:
What is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
(peace and blessings be upon him) that after the taslim (the closing salam of prayer) from the obligatory prayer, he seeks forgiveness from Allah three times, then says: "O Allah, You are the Peace, and from You comes peace. Blessed are You, O Owner of Majesty and Honor." Then he says: "There is no god but Allah alone, having no partner. To Him belongs the sovereignty and to Him belongs the praise, and He is over all things competent."صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه بعد السلام من الفريضة يستغفر الله ثلاثا، ثم يقول اللهم إنك أنت السلام، ومنك السلام، تباركت يا ذا الجلال والإكرام، ثم يقول لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، له الملك وله الحمد، وهو على كل شيء قدير
is: "There is no god but Allah, and we worship none but Him. To Him belongs the sovereignty, to Him belongs the bounty, to Him belongs the praise, and to Him belongs the good reputation. There is no god but Allah, we are sincere to Him in religion, even if the disbelievers hate it." And if it is after Fajr (the dawn prayer), he comes with ten takbirs, or after Maghrib (the sunset prayer) he comes with ten takbirs. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) guided that after the takbirs and after the dhikr, one says takbir to Allah thirty-three times.
