The Adhkar Mentioned After Prayer

Question:
What does the one who prays say after the prayer in terms of supplications, adhkar, and verses, in detail and in order?
May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
We have written a treatise on this, in which we clarified this matter. We named it: (The Gift of the Virtuous Regarding Supplications and Adhkar). We have clarified in it what is required, and this has been explained many times previously in this program.
The Sunnah for the one who prays, when he says the taslim, is to say: "I seek forgiveness from Allah, I seek forgiveness from Allah, I seek forgiveness from Allah," three times, then to say: "O Allah, You are Peace, and from You is peace. Blessed are You, O Owner of Majesty and Honor." This is the Sunnah for both men and women in the obligatory prayer, whether he prayed in the mosque or in his house if he was sick, and likewise for the woman. When he says the taslim, he says: "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."
And if he is the imam, he turns to the ma'mums after this, giving them his face, after saying: "O Allah, You are Peace..." to the end of it. Then he says: "There is no god but Allah, alone, without partner. His is the dominion, and His is the praise, and He is over all things competent." The imam, the ma'mum, and the one praying alone, the man and the woman, say this after that: "There is no god but Allah, alone, without partner. His is the dominion, and His is the praise, and He is over all things competent." And if he repeats it three times, that is better, if he repeats it three times.
Then he says: "There is no power and no strength except with Allah. There is no god but Allah, and we worship none but Him. His is the blessing, and 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 dislike. O Allah, there is no one who can prevent what You have given, and there is no one who can give what You have prevented, and the wealth of the wealthy does not benefit him against You."
This is the Sunnah for everyone, the male and the female, the free person and the slave, and all the ma'mums, all the ones who pray. That is: he comes with this dhikr after the prayer, whether he prayed in congregation, or in his house, or the prayer was missed or he was sick, the woman and the man. When he says the taslim, he comes with this. First: "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." This is... and the imam comes with it while facing the qiblah, then he turns to the people, giving them his face.
Then he says: "There is no god but Allah, alone, without partner. His is the dominion, and His is the praise, and He is over all things competent," once or three times, and three times is better. Then he says: "There is no power and no strength except with Allah. There is no god but Allah, and we worship none but Him. His is the blessing, and 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 dislike. O Allah, there is no one who can prevent what You have given, and there is no one who can give what You have prevented, and the wealth of the wealthy does not benefit him against You," in all the prayers. But if it is Maghrib and Fajr, he adds: "There is no god but Allah, alone, without partner. His is the dominion, and His is the praise. He gives life and causes death, and He is over all things competent," ten times in Fajr and Maghrib as an addition. He comes with it along with this dhikr: "There is no god but Allah, alone, without partner. His is the dominion, and His is the praise. He gives life and causes death, and He is over all things competent," ten times after Fajr, and after Maghrib.
Then everyone, the man and the woman, the imam and the ma'mum, comes with the tasbih, tahlil, tahmid, and takbir: "Subhan Allah, Alhamdulillah, Allahu Akbar," thirty-three times. "Subhan Allah, Alhamdulillah, Allahu Akbar," thirty-three times, the man and the woman, the imam and the ma'mum after the obligatory prayer. Then he concludes it by saying: "There is no god but Allah, alone, without partner. His is the dominion, and His is the praise, and He is over all things competent." This is the Sunnah for both the man and the woman.
It is recommended to come with this along with Ayat al-Kursi: [al-Baqarah: 255]. Then he comes with the three surahs from the end of the Qur'an: [al-Ikhlas: 1] and [al-Falaq: 1] and [al-Nas: 1]. He comes with them once in Zuhr, 'Asr, and 'Isha, and three times in Maghrib and Fajr, these three surahs. As for Ayat al-Kursi, he comes with it once after every prayer, and when sleeping. All of this is prescribed and recommended, and in it is much good.
So the believer should not be hasty. He comes with these adhkar after every prayer, he does not be hasty. And if he comes with these supplications, and this recitation: Ayat al-Kursi, and [al-Ikhlas: 1] and the two Mu'awwidhat when sleeping, this is also the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He taught Fatimah and 'Ali to say: "Subhan Allah, Alhamdulillah, Allahu Akbar," thirty-three times when sleeping, and the takbir is thirty-four. But after the prayer, if he wishes, thirty-four takbirs, and if he wishes, he concludes the hundred with: "There is no god but Allah, alone, without partner. His is the dominion, and His is the praise, and He is over all things competent," because it came in the authentic hadith to conclude it with "There is no god but Allah." And if he concludes it with takbir, that has also come.
As for when sleeping, he concludes with thirty-four takbirs, thirty-three tasbihs, and thirty-three tahmids, because: ... "There is no god but Allah, alone, without partner..." to the end of it. It only came when sleeping to say tasbih thirty-three times, and to praise Allah thirty-three times, and to say takbir for Allah thirty-four times, when sleeping. And this is among the best of deeds.
As for after the prayer, there are types: If he wishes, he comes with this: "Subhan Allah, Alhamdulillah, Allahu Akbar," thirty-three times only. And if he wishes, he adds the forty-fourth takbir to complete the hundred. And if he wishes, he adds: "There is no god but Allah, alone, without partner. His is the dominion, and His is the praise, and He is over all things competent" to complete the hundred. All of this is Sunnah, all of it came after the prayers. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) taught the poor Muhajireen, when they said the taslim, to say: "Subhan Allah, Alhamdulillah, Allahu Akbar," thirty-three times only, and did not add to them beyond this. And it came in the hadith of Abu Hurayrah with an addition, saying to complete the hundred: "There is no god but Allah, alone, without partner. His is the dominion, and His is the praise, and He is over all things competent." Muslim narrated it in the Sahih.
And it came when sleeping to say tasbih thirty-three times, and to praise thirty-three times, and to say takbir thirty-four times. And another type came after the five prayers to say: "Subhan Allah, Alhamdulillah, La ilaha illa Allah, Allahu Akbar," twenty-five times... "La ilaha illa Allah," so it becomes twenty-five. "Subhan Allah, Alhamdulillah, La ilaha illa Allah, Allahu Akbar," twenty-five times... the tasbih, tahlil, and takbir... "La ilaha illa Allah," yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
