The Preference of Supplication Before the Closing Salam in Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, Umm Majd from Dammam, says in this question: Your Eminence, this supplication:
O Allah, help me in remembering You, in giving You thanks, and worshipping You well.اللهم أعني على ذكرك وشكرك، وحسن عبادتك
Sunan Abi Dawud 1522Sahih (Al-Albani)
Is it said before the salam or after the salam?

Answer:
It is better before the salam; this is the better option. Supplication before the salam is better because of his statement (peace and blessings be upon him) when he taught them the tashahhud, he said:
Then he may choose any supplication which pleases him.ثم ليختر من المسألة ما شاء
Sahih Muslim 402b
And in the other wording:
Then select the invocation you like best and recite it.ثم ليختر من الدعاء أعجبه إليه فيدعو
Sahih al-Bukhari 835
So if one supplicates with this before the salam, it is better. If one supplicates with it after the salam or after the dhikr, there is no harm, but before the salam is better.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
