The Formulas of Tasbih After the Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Shaykh! The hadith of the poor among the Muhajireen indicates the permissibility of reciting tasbih after every prayer thirty-three times, but several formulas have been reported. Do we restrict ourselves to just one type?

Answer:
Yes, what I know is that two formulas have been reported. The first formula consists of three phrases: Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah), Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah), and Allahu Akbar (Allah is the Greatest), each recited thirty-three times. Then, to complete the hundred, one says: La ilaha illa Allah, la sharika lahu, lahu al-mulk wa lahu al-hamd, wa huwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadir (There is no god but Allah, He has no partner, His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He is over all things competent). The second formula consists of four phrases: Subhan Allah, Alhamdulillah, La ilaha illa Allah, and Allahu Akbar, with the addition of the phrase La ilaha illa Allah, and each phrase is recited twenty-five times so that the total is one hundred. Yes.
