Is there a specific number for the tasbih after the obligatory prayer, and what is the manner of tasbih and tahmid after the prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The tasbih after the obligatory prayer has conditions, such as the number. For example, one must adhere to thirty-three, or can he increase beyond that? Or is increasing contrary to the Sunnah? And how is the tasbih and tahmid after the prayer done with some degree of restriction? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
There is no doubt that adhering to what was transmitted, which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) specified, is a required matter. He performs this tahmid in compliance with what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) legislated. Adhering to this contains a great secret and a great benefit. If he wants to increase beyond that in the category of absolute dhikr, there is no harm. As for restricted dhikr, he does not increase in it. The restricted dhikr is thirty-three tasbih, thirty-three takbir, and thirty-three tahmid, concluding with "There is no god but Allah, He has no partner, to Him belongs the dominion and to Him belongs the praise, and He is over all things competent." This is what one must adhere to in the restricted dhikr. As for absolute dhikr, he may remember Allah at any time and in any number that is easy for him. This varies with absolute dhikr.
