Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, is there a report from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he used to recite the tasbih ten times, the tahmid ten times, and the takbir ten times?
The Shaykh : After the prayer?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes, this is from the Sunnah. The tasbih, tahmid, and takbir after the prayer have four forms. The first form is to recite the tasbih ten times, then the tahmid ten times, then the takbir ten times. The second form is to recite the tahmid twenty-five times, the tasbih twenty-five times, the tahmid twenty-five times, and the takbir twenty-five times, and to say: "There is no god but Allah" twenty-five times, making the total one hundred. That is, he says: "Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah), Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah), La ilaha illa Allah (There is no god but Allah), and Allahu Akbar (Allah is the Greatest)" twenty-five times, making the total one hundred. The third form is to say: "Subhan Allah, Alhamdulillah, and Allahu Akbar" thirty-three times each, making ninety-nine, and to complete the one hundred by saying: "La ilaha illa Allah wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul mulku wa lahul hamd, wa huwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadir" (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).
The fourth form is to say: "Subhan Allah" thirty-three times, "Alhamdulillah" thirty-three times, and "Allahu Akbar" thirty-four times. That is, he should do this once and that once. Yes.
