Reciting Dhikr Aloud After Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is reciting dhikr aloud after prayer specific to seeking forgiveness and the takbir, or is it general for all dhikr?

Answer:
The ten takbirs after Fajr and after Maghrib, as well as the dhikr after the remaining prayers—the prescribed dhikr that is recited:

"O Allah, You are As-Salam, and from you is As-Salam. You are blessed, O One of Magnificence and Generosity."

اللهم أنت السلام، ومنك السلام، تباركت يا ذي الجلال والإكرام

Sunan Abi Dawud 1512Sahih (Al-Albani)

There is none worthy of worship except Allah (SWT), and we worship none but Him

لا إله إلا الله، ولا نعبد إلا إياه

Sunan an-Nasa'i 1340Sahih (Darussalam)

, not the king, and

the source of blessing and kindness and the One Who is deserving of all good praise. There is none worthy of worship except Allah (SWT), and we are sincere in faith and devotion to Him even though the disbelievers detest it.

له النعمة، وله الفضل، وله الثناء الحسن، لا إله إلا الله، مخلصين له الدين، ولو كره الكافرون

Sunan an-Nasa'i 1340Sahih (Darussalam)

O Allah, help me in remembering You, in giving You thanks, and worshipping You well.

اللهم أعني على ذكرك وشكرك وحسن عبادتك

Sunan Abi Dawud 1522Sahih (Al-Albani)

—you recite these aloud after the prayers. You recite the ten takbirs after Fajr and after Maghrib aloud. As for the tasbih, takbir, and tahmid, thirty-three times each, you do not recite these aloud; that is between you and yourself. Yes.
