Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He saysThe questioner : When several dhikr are prescribed after certain acts of worship, such as the dhikr prescribed after wudu' and after the adhan, is it better to recite them all or to limit oneself to just one?
The Shaykh : Neither this nor that; rather, sometimes one and sometimes the other.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : ... for the sake of the dhikr, everyone says ... .
The Shaykh : You heard the question and understood the answer, meaning the question was whether to combine them or limit oneself to one of them? The answer was not to combine them and not to limit oneself, but rather sometimes one and sometimes the other.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : I do not know if he is accusing you or accusing himself?. The important thing is, did you understand my answer?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner : Why not combine them?
The Shaykh : You asked a question, so spare me from your answer to me. Did you understand my answer? Praise be to Allah, he understood.
...
The questioner : Is it this and that?
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner : I say, does he do this sometimes and that sometimes in order to establish the Sunnah?
The Shaykh : That is it, meaning this has many, many examples. How many supplications for the opening of the prayer do you know?
The questioner : Many.
The Shaykh : Many examples, so does he combine them all so that they become ... from al-Fatihah?
The questioner : Of course not ... .
The Shaykh : Rather, sometimes this and sometimes that.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : ... do we say one ... .
Another questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Okay, if the texts do not indicate to us what we are saying now about variation—sometimes one and sometimes the other—then we combine them; for example, the hadith:, what do you derive from this eloquent Arabic expression? Sometimes or always?
The questioner : Always.
The Shaykh : Always, so we maintain this always. Likewise, the hadith—for example: to the end of the hadith, Jami` at-Tirmidhi 476Da'if (Darussalam), , from the words of comprehensiveness, they mean generality and comprehensiveness, and so on.
In short, we say: the supplications—excuse me, not the supplications—and the dhikr that came after the completion of the prayers are to be recited as much as a person is able, and no more.
The Shaykh : Neither this nor that; rather, sometimes one and sometimes the other.
