Specifying the Dhikr After Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Moving on to this question from Umm 'Abd al-'Aziz from the Tabuk region. She says: "Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy. My question, may Allah reward you with good: Is it permissible for me to say 'La ilaha illa Allah, He alone has no partner,' and to send blessings upon the Prophet after every prayer twenty times, so that I have said it one hundred times a day? Or is this a bid'ah (religious innovation)?"

Answer:
This is a good thing, but it is not tied to the prayer; you can say it at any time. What is tied to the prayer is what has been reported regarding the specific dhikr (remembrance of Allah) after the prayers. In the ten takbirs after Maghrib and 'Isha', say: "There is no god
There is none worthy of worship except Allah (SWT) alone, with no partner or associate. His is the Dominion, to Him be all praise, and He is able to do all things; there is no power and no strength except with Allah (SWT) the Almighty. There is none worthy of worship except Allahإلا 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, sincere to Him in religion, even if the disbelievers dislike it." This is after every obligatory prayer. Then, glorify Allah thirty-three times, magnify Allah thirty-three times, and praise Allah thirty-three times, and complete the hundred by saying: "There is no god but Allah, He alone has no partner, His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He is over all things competent." This is also after every prayer, after the opening of the prayers, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded. Yes.
