The dhikr with which the Muslim raises his voice after prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: What are the dhikr with which the Muslim raises his voice after prayer, and those with which he does not raise his voice?

Answer:
The Sunnah after prayer is to raise the voice with dhikr. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and the Companions used to raise their voices with dhikr after prayer, after all five prayers... Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha, and likewise Jumu'ah. He begins by saying: I seek forgiveness from Allah, I seek forgiveness from Allah, I seek forgiveness from Allah. O Allah, You are Peace, and from You is peace. Blessed are You, O Owner of Majesty and Honor. When he says the taslim, he raises his voice until those around him hear him. Then he says:
There is no god but Allah, alone, without any partner. To Him belong the Kingdom and praise, and He has power over everythingلا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، له الملك وله الحمد وهو على كل شيء قدير
Muwatta Malik 20:131
And if he repeats it three times, that is good. Then he says:
There is no might or power except with Allah. There is no god but Allah and we do not worship but Him alone. To Him belong all bounties, to Him belongs all Grace, and to Him is worthy praise accorded. There is no god but Allah, to Whom we are sincere in devotion, even though the unbelievers should disapprove it.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
Sahih Muslim 594a
O Allah! No-one can withhold what You give, and none can give what You withhold, and the fortune of a man of means is useless before Youاللهم لا مانع لما أعطيت، ولا معطي لما منعت، ولا ينفع ذا الجد منك الجد
Sahih al-Bukhari 6615
The imam, the ma'mum, and the one praying alone all say this after the five prayers. This is the dhikr.
But the imam says this after he turns to the people. He seeks forgiveness from Allah three times while facing the qiblah, and says:
"O Allah, You are As-Salam, and from you is As-Salam. You are blessed, O One of Magnificence and Generosity."اللهم أنت السلام، ومنك السلام، تباركت يا ذا الجلال والإكرام
Sunan Abi Dawud 1512Sahih (Al-Albani)
Then he turns to the people... he faces them, and recites the dhikr.
As for the ma'mum, he recites all of this from the moment he says the taslim. He also adds:
"Subhan-al-lah" and "Al hamdu li l-lah" and "Allahu Akbar" all together [??], thirty three times.سبحان الله، والحمد لله، والله أكبر ثلاثًا وثلاثين
Sahih al-Bukhari 843
He raises his voice with this until those around him hear him, so that those around him benefit. He completes the hundred by saying:
There is no god but Allah, alone, without any partner. To Him belong the Kingdom and praise, and He has power over everythingلا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، له الملك وله الحمد وهو على كل شيء قدير
Muwatta Malik 20:131
This is what you raise your voice with.
And in Maghrib and Fajr, he adds ten takbirs. He says:
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 thingsلا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، له الملك، وله الحمد، يحيي ويميت، وهو على كل شيء قدير
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3553Sahih (Darussalam)
Ten times, along with what was mentioned before, in addition to the dhikr mentioned earlier. He adds these ten after the taslim. The imam, the one praying alone, and the ma'mum all say ten takbirs after Fajr, and after Maghrib, in addition to what was mentioned before. He says:
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 thingsلا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، له الملك وله الحمد، يحيي ويميت، وهو على كل شيء قدير
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3553Sahih (Darussalam)
And if he says:
In His hand is all good.بيده الخير
Or:
and He is Living and does not dieوهو حي لا يموت
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3429Da’if (Darussalam)
It is all good. Ten times. It is established from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) that he used to say this after Fajr and Maghrib, in addition to what was mentioned before.
It is recommended for everyone, without raising the voice, to recite Ayat al-Kursi. The imam, the one praying alone, and the ma'mum recite Ayat al-Kursi after all of this, without raising the voice:
Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.اللَّهُ لا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ لا تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلا نَوْمٌ لَهُ مَا فِي السَّمَوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الأَرْضِ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَشْفَعُ عِنْدَهُ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَلا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ عِلْمِهِ إِلَّا بِمَا شَاءَ وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ وَلا يَئُودُهُ حِفْظُهُمَا وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ
[al-Baqarah: 255] This is Ayat al-Kursi, the greatest verse in the Qur'an, and the best verse in the Qur'an. It is called Ayat al-Kursi. It is recommended for the believing man and woman to recite it after every prayer, after the aforementioned dhikr, for both men and women. It is recommended for everyone.
It is also recommended to recite:
Say, "He is Allah, [who is] One,قل هو الله أحد
[Al-Ikhlas 112:1]
and the two Mu'awwidhat after every prayer.
Say, "He is Allah, [who is] One,قل هو الله أحد
[Al-Ikhlas 112:1]
Say, "I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreakقل أعوذ برب الفلق
[Al-Falaq 113:1]
Say, "I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind,قل أعوذ برب الناس
[An-Nas 114:1]
After every prayer, but he repeats them three times after Fajr, and Maghrib. He repeats these three surahs three times after Maghrib, and after Fajr.
Say, "He is Allah, [who is] One,قل هو الله أحد
[Al-Ikhlas 112:1]
Three times.
Say, "I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreakقل أعوذ برب الفلق
[Al-Falaq 113:1]
Three times.
Say, "I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind,قل أعوذ برب الناس
[An-Nas 114:1]
Three times, after Maghrib, and after Fajr. We have written a concise treatise on this, which is distributed among the brothers. Whoever wants it can find it. It is a concise treatise in which we explained these dhikr. We ask Allah for success for everyone. Yes.

The presenter: O Allah, amen. May Allah reward you with good.
