Is it prescribed to recite the names of Allah after the prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. He says: As for reciting the names of Allah the Most Beautiful after the prayer, we have become accustomed to reciting the names of Allah the Most Beautiful?

Answer:
This is something that has not been transmitted. Supplicating to Allah by His beautiful names and seeking nearness to Him through them is not restricted to after the prayer or any other specific time. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:
And to Allah belong the best names, so invoke Him by them.وَلِلَّهِ الْأَسْمَاءُ الْحُسْنَىٰ فَادْعُوهُ بِهَا
[Al-A'raf 7:180]
, and He did not specify a time for supplicating to Him by them. So the matter is broad, and praise be to Allah. One supplicates to Him by them when in need, and whenever one wants to seek nearness to Him by His names and attributes, at any time. Yes.
