The ruling on reciting the post-prayer dhikr after both the obligatory and voluntary prayers

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Can the tasbih and du'a after the obligatory prayer be performed after the sunnah prayer, that is, after finishing the prayer? And what are the du'a and tasbih narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?

Answer:
All the narrated tasbih is after the obligatory prayer; the Companions would hear it and the Companions would teach it. As for after the voluntary prayers, there is nothing established except for seeking forgiveness. When the one praying finishes the voluntary prayer, he says: "I seek forgiveness from Allah, I seek forgiveness from Allah, I seek forgiveness from Allah. O Allah, You are Peace and from You comes peace. Blessed are You in the remembrance of Allah." As for the other dhikr, it all came after the obligatory prayer. As for this, it is after the fard and the nafil. Thawba (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Prophet
(ﷺ) finished his prayer, he used to say after asking Allah's forgiveness three times: "O Allah, You are as-Salam (One Free from every defect), and as-Salam (safety from every evil) is (sought) from You. Blessed are You, O Possessor of glory and honour." [Reported by Muslim].صلى الله عليه وسلم إذا انصرف من صلاته استغفر الله ثلاثا وقال اللهم أنت السلام ومنك السلام، تباركت في هذا الجلال رواه مسلم
Bulugh al-Maram 2:216
and others, and he did not say "obligatory," so this indicates that he seeks forgiveness from every prayer, the voluntary and the obligatory.
As for the dhikr
There is no god but Allah. He is alone. There is no partner with Him. Sovereignty belongs to Him and He is Potent over everything. There is no might or power except with Allah. There is no god but Allah and we do notلا إله إلا الله، له لا شريك له، له منكم وله الحمد وهو على كل شيء قدير، لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله، لا إله إلا الله ولا نعبد
Sahih Muslim 594a
. to the end, these only came after the obligatory prayers. It was not narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
after the obligatory prayers, and it was not said that it was narrated from himبعد الفرائض، ولم يقل يبلون عنه
that he did them after the voluntary prayers, peace and blessings be upon him. Yes. May Allah reward you, and Allah is the Helper, may Allah reward you with good, Your Eminence
