Some people say at the end of the gathering and after the closing supplication

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The questioner : Some people say at the end of the gathering and after the closing supplication:

⁽¹⁸⁰⁾ Exalted is your Lord, the Lord of might, above what they describe. ⁽¹⁸¹⁾ And peace upon the messengers. ⁽¹⁸²⁾ And praise to Allah, Lord of the worlds.

سبحان ربك رب العزة عما يصفون وسلام على المرسلين والحمد لله رب العالمين

[As-Saffat 37:180-182]

, and also Surat al-Asr. Is this a recommended practice (sunnah) or a religious innovation (bid'ah)?

The Shaykh : This is not a recommended practice (sunnah). The recommended practice (sunnah) at the end of the gathering is:

Glory be to Thee. O Allah, and I begin with praise of Thee, I testify that there is no god but Thou; I ask Thy pardon, and return to Thee in repentance.

سبحانك اللهم ربنا وبحمدك أشهد أن لا إله إلا أنت أستغفرك وأتوب إليك

Sunan Abi Dawud 4859Hasan Sahih (Al-Albani)

. As for what is reported from some of the Companions: "that they do not disperse until some of them recite Surat al-Asr to others", this may have occurred from some of them, but I do not know it from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
