Question:
This questioner says in his second question: Must the one who recites the morning and evening adhkar be in a state of wudu' and facing the qiblah, or is this not required? And what are the morning and evening adhkar?
Answer:
Reciting the adhkar in a state of purity is better, but if one becomes ritually impure after the taslim, he recites the adhkar. If he becomes ritually impure after the taslim, he recites them after the taslim, saying: "I seek forgiveness from Allah... I seek forgiveness from Allah... I seek forgiveness from Allah" three times after the Zuhr, 'Asr, Maghrib, 'Isha', and Fajr prayers. Three times: "I seek forgiveness from Allah... I seek forgiveness from Allah... I seek forgiveness from Allah... O Allah, You are Peace, and from You comes peace. Blessed are You, O Owner of Majesty and Honor." Whether he is the imam or the ma'mum, a man or a woman, he says this when he performs the taslim:Sunan Abi Dawud 1512Sahih (Al-Albani).
And if he is the imam, he turns to the ma'mums after saying this; he turns his face to the ma'mums, then each one says after this:Muwatta Malik 20:131 once, or three times is better Sahih Muslim 594a.
This is done by the man and the woman, the imam and the ma'mum, and the one praying alone after Fajr, Zuhr, 'Asr, Maghrib, and 'Isha'. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do this, raising his voice with it. They all raised their voices at a moderate level, without any strain, so that those around the mosque could hear that they had finished the prayer. Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I used to know when they had finished when I heard them." Ibn Abbas was young, and when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, he was approaching puberty. Sometimes he would be outside the mosque and not attend the prayer due to his youth, but he would hear the voices and know that they had prayed and finished.
It is recommended to add in the Fajr and Maghrib prayers:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3553Sahih (Darussalam) ten times in the Fajr and Maghrib, adding ten times Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3553Sahih (Darussalam). This is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in several hadiths.
It is recommended after all five prayers to say: "Subhan Allah, Alhamdulillah, Allahu Akbar" thirty-three times: "Subhan Allah, Alhamdulillah, Allahu Akbar" is one time, and it is repeated thirty-three times, totaling ninety-nine. "Subhan Allah, Alhamdulillah, Allahu Akbar" thirty-three times, then completing the hundred withMuwatta Malik 20:131. This is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
And it is established that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is a great promise and a great virtue. After every prayer: Zuhr... 'Asr... Maghrib... 'Isha'... Fajr, in addition to the previous dhikr: "Subhan Allah, Alhamdulillah, Allahu Akbar" thirty-three times, totaling ninety-nine, then saying to complete the hundred: Muwatta Malik 20:131.
It is recommended to do this tasbih, tahmid, and takbir when going to sleep, when going to sleep after 'Isha'. When he lies in his bed, he does this: "Subhan Allah, Alhamdulillah, Allahu Akbar" thirty-three times, and completing the hundred when going to sleep: "Allahu Akbar." He completes the hundred with "Allahu Akbar," making the takbir thirty-four, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) guided.
It is recommended after every prayer of the five prayers, along with this tasbih, to recite Ayat al-Kursi. It is a long verse, recited after every prayer, and recited when going to sleep. When he comes to sleep at night, he recites Ayat al-Kursi, and recites it after every prayer of the five prayers.
It is also recommended to recite [Surah al-Ikhlas:1] and the two Mu'awwidhat after every prayer [Surah al-Ikhlas:1]... [Surah al-Falaq:1]... [Surah al-Nas:1] after Zuhr and after 'Asr... after Maghrib... after 'Isha'. But it is repeated three times after Fajr specifically and Maghrib specifically. These three surahs are repeated three times after Maghrib, and after Fajr, after the previous dhikr. And when going to sleep, they are recited three times: [Surah al-Ikhlas:1] and the two Mu'awwidhat when going to sleep three times. As for after Zuhr, 'Asr, and 'Isha', once is sufficient. May Allah guide them all.

Whether he is the imam or the ma'mum, a man or a woman, he says this when he performs the taslim:
O Allah, You are As-Salam, and from you is As-Salam. You are blessed, O One of Magnificence and Generosity.
أستغفر الله .. أستغفر الله .. أستغفر الله .. اللهم أنت السلام، ومنك السلام، تباركت يا ذا الجلال والإكرامAnd if he is the imam, he turns to the ma'mums after saying this; he turns his face to the ma'mums, then each one says after this:

لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، له الملك، وله الحمد، وهو على كل شيءٍ قديرThere is no power nor strength except with Allah. There is no god but Allah, and we worship none but Him. His is the grace, His is the favor, and His is the good praise. There is no god but Allah, sincere to Him in religion, even if the disbelievers hate. O Allah, there is no one who can prevent what You have given, and there is no one who can give what You have withheld, and the wealth of the wealthy does not benefit him against You.
لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله، لا إله إلا الله، ولا نعبد إلا إياه، له النعمة، وله الفضل، وله الثناء الحسن، لا إله إلا الله مخلصين له الدين، ولو كره الكافرون، اللهم لا مانع لما أعطيت، ولا معطي لما منعت، ولا ينفع ذا الجد منك الجدThis is done by the man and the woman, the imam and the ma'mum, and the one praying alone after Fajr, Zuhr, 'Asr, Maghrib, and 'Isha'.

None has the right to be worshipped by Allah, Alone, without partner, to Him belongs all that exists, and to Him belongs the praise, [He gives life and causes death,] and He has power over all things
لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، له الملك وله الحمد يحيي ويميت وهو على كل شيء قديرNone has the right to be worshipped by Allah, Alone, without partner, to Him belongs all that exists, and to Him belongs the praise, [He gives life and causes death,] and He has power over all things

Whoever glorifies Allah thirty-three times after every prayer, praises Allah thirty-three times, and magnifies Allah thirty-three times, that is ninety-nine, then says to complete the hundred: There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He is over all things competent; his sins are forgiven, even if they are like the foam of the sea.
من سبح الله دبر كل صلاة ثلاثًا وثلاثين، وحمد الله ثلاثًا وثلاثين، وكبر الله ثلاثًا وثلاثين، فتلك تسع وتسعون، ثم يقول تمام المائة: لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، له الملك وله الحمد، وهو على كل شيءٍ قدير؛ غفرت خطاياه، وإن كانت مثل زبد البحرThere is no god but Allah, alone, without any partner.
