Question:
What are the authentic dhikr phrases recited inside the prayer, and after the taslim? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Inside the prayer, it is prescribed for him to begin with the opening invocation (istiftah) at the start, after he says Allahu Akbar, the first takbir—which is called the takbir of ihram—he begins as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do this. Among these is:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 243Hasan (Darussalam) This is called the istiftah, and it is the most concise of them.
And among these is what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also used to do:Sunan an-Nasa'i 60Sahih (Darussalam) There are other authentic istiftahs found in the books of hadith: such as al-Muntaqa, Bulugh al-Maram, al-Bukhari, and Sahih Muslim, and others.
But these two istiftahs are among the most concise of the istiftahs.
Then he says: I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan, In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, then he recites al-Fatihah (al-Hamd), then he recites whatever is easy for him to recite with it, whether he is an imam, praying alone, or a ma'mum in the silent prayers of Zuhr and 'Asr. And if he is a ma'mum in the loud prayers, he recites al-Fatihah only, and remains silent, listening to his imam, he listens to the imam.
And when he says takbir for ruku', he says: He repeats it three times, or more, and the obligatory is once, Once is the obligatory, and repeating it is recommended, and he says after that: Sahih al-Bukhari 4293 This is also recommended, and he says: Sahih Muslim 487a This is also recommended in ruku' and sujud.
And when he raises his head—whether he is an imam or praying alone—he says:Muwatta Malik 3:17 And if he is a ma'mum, he says: or And if he adds Sahih Muslim 477 it is better; because it is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). And if he limits himself to what precedes, his saying: Sahih Muslim 476b is sufficient, and the obligatory is or Sahih Muslim 476b and the rest is sunnah and recommended.

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 875Sahih (Al-Albani) And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Riyad as-Salihin 1427” meaning: It is likely that it will be answered for you, and he supplicates with what Allah makes easy for him of good in this world and the Hereafter in sujud, in the obligatory and the voluntary, due to the two hadiths mentioned, yes.

Allahumma ba'id baini was baina khatayaya kama ba'adta baina al-mashriq wal-maghrib; Allahumma naqqini min khatayaya kama yunaqqath-thawb al-abyad min ad-danas; Allahummaghsilni min khatayaya bith-thalji wal-ma'i wal-barad (O Allah, out a great distance between me and my sins, as great as the distance You have made between the East and the West; O Allah, cleanse me of of sin as a white garment is cleansed from filth; Wash away my sins with snow, water, and hail)
اللهم باعد بيني وبين خطاياي كما باعدت بين المشرق والمغرب، اللهم نقني من خطاياي كما ينقى الثوب الأبيض من الدنس، اللهم اغسلني من خطاياي بالثلج والماء والبردBut these two istiftahs are among the most concise of the istiftahs.
