What is the correct method of glorifying Allah after the prayer?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : He said, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Did you do this?
The questioner : Well, what is called combining the three? Did you do this?
The Shaykh : May Allah guide you, do not deviate from the answer.
The questioner : Yes, this is my question, it is in the same answer.
The Shaykh : No, you do not have this cleverness to make the question the answer. Did you do it? Subhan Allah thirty-three times, Alhamdulillah thirty-three times, and Allahu Akbar thirty-three times? One is the tahlil. Did you do this?
The questioner : Each one separately, no. But combined, did you do it? You glorified, praised, and magnified thirty-three times, then concluded with La ilaha illa Allah. Meaning, you did it, but it was not combined. As for the basic act, you did it.
The Shaykh : Well, what does the hadith suggest? What does it suggest?
The questioner : That they are separate.
The Shaykh : That is the intention. Then, we have a second hadith.
The student: - Peace be upon you -
The Shaykh : And the hadith is narrated—and upon you be peace and the mercy and blessings of Allah—it is narrated in Sunan al-Nasa'i through the route of two Companions, one of whom is Ibn Umar and the other I have forgotten now. The important thing is that the hadith says that a man saw a person in a dream who said to him, "What did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) teach you?" He mentioned the dhikr we mentioned earlier from the hadith of Abu Hurayrah. The one seen in the dream said to the one who saw the dream, "Make twenty-five of each of them, twenty-five of each of them." That is, Subhan Allah, Alhamdulillah, La ilaha illa Allah, and Allahu Akbar. If you say Subhan Allah, Alhamdulillah, La ilaha illa Allah, and Allahu Akbar, that is one time. Twenty-five of each of them, what is the total? One hundred.
The questioner : One hundred
The Shaykh : This is a second hadith, and its completion is that the one who saw the dream came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and related the story to him. He said, may the prayers and peace be upon him: That is why I was surprised. You did not act according to the first hadith, nor did you act according to the second hadith. The first hadith is from the one who said, Bulugh al-Maram 2:217 Subhan Allah, Subhan Allah, until the end of the hadith. And you did not combine them as the one seen in the dream said, "Make twenty-five of each of them." So they are four phrases: Subhan Allah, Alhamdulillah, La ilaha illa Allah, and Allahu Akbar. Therefore, this form requires a marfu' text from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). And this is the least I can say. First, I do not recall it, and I recall these two types, and each of them contradicts the form I heard from you. This is one. The other, and perhaps it is more important than the first, what confused me? Huh.
The questioner : Raising the voice in dhikr.
The Shaykh : ...
The questioner : What is the Sunnah, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : The Sunnah is that you raise your voice with Subhan Allah and Alhamdulillah.
The questioner : There is a hadith that was reported that whoever says Subhan Allah, Alhamdulillah, and Allahu Akbar. In a narration, it is in the plural. And I recall that Ibn al-Qayyim mentioned it in al-Zad, but al-Zad is not here.
The Shaykh : There is no harm. I say, look, what is it... If it is a marfu' hadith and authentic, then this will be a third aspect. But which aspect is the most complete? The last question is, which aspect is the most complete? It is the one that was seen in the dream, and the dream was related to the Messenger, and he said,.
Whoever says after every prayer thirty-three times, and praises Allah thirty-three times, and magnifies Allah thirty-three times, then completes the hundred by saying, "There is no god but Allah alone, having no partner, to Him belongs the dominion and to Him belongs the praise, and He is over all things competent," his sins will be forgiven, even if they are like the foam of the sea.
من قال دبر كل صلاة ثلاثا وثلاثين وحمد الله ثلاثاً وثلاثين وكبر الله ثلاثاً وثلاثين ثم قال تمام المئة لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له له الملك وله الحمد وهو على كل شيء قدير غفرت له ذنوبه وإن كانت مثل زبد البحرThe questioner : Well, what is called combining the three? Did you do this?

So do it then.
