The ruling on specifying dhikr after every obligatory prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a Muslim to say after every obligatory prayer, "Subhan Allahi wa bihamdihi, 'adad khalqihi wa zinat 'arshihi wa madad kalimatihi wa rida nafsihi" (Glory be to Allah and His praise, in the number of His creation, the adornment of His Throne, the ink of His words, and the pleasure of His soul), or is this specific to the Fajr prayer only?

Answer:
This is not specific to the Fajr prayer or any other prayer. "Subhan Allahi wa bihamdihi, Subhan Allahi al-'Azhim, Subhan Allahi wa bihamdihi, 'adad khalqihi wa rida nafsihi wa zinat 'arshihi wa madad kalimatihi" (Glory be to Allah and His praise, Glory be to Allah the Magnificent, Glory be to Allah and His praise, in the number of His creation, the pleasure of His soul, the adornment of His Throne, and the ink of His words) is not restricted to a specific time; rather, it is said at any time. Because these are two great phrases, a Muslim says them at any time: after prayer, before prayer, while walking, while sitting, while lying down, in any state. We do not know that it is specified to be said after prayer. Yes.
