CHAPTER: What A Person Should Say When He Says The Taslim.
Narrated Abu Hurairah: Abu Dharr said: Prophet of Allah. The wealthy people have all the rewards; they pray as we pray; they fast as we fast; and they have surplus wealth which they give in charity; but we have no wealth which we may give in charity. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: Abu Dharr, should I not teach you phrases by which you acquire the rank of those who excel you? No one can acquire your rank except one who acts like you. He said: Why not, Messenger of Allah? He said: Exalt Allah (say: Allah is Most Great) after each prayer thirty-three times; and praise Him (say: Praise be to Allah) thirty-three times; and glorify Him (say: Glory be to Allah) thirty-three times, and end it by saying, There is no god but Allah alone, there is no partner, to Him belongs the Kingdom, to Him praise is due and He has power over everything . His sins will be forgiven, even if they are like the foam of the sea.
Al-Mughirah bin Shubah reported: Muawiyah wrote to al-Mughirah bin Shubah: 'What would the the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم recite when he gave Taslim (salutation) in the prayer ?' Al-Mughirah dictated and wrote to Muawiyah: 'The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم used to say (at the end of the prayer after taslim): 'There is no God but Allah, Alone, Who has no partner, to Him belongs the dominion, to Him praise is due, and He is Omnipotent. O Allah no one cane withhold what You give and give what You withhold, and none benefits the fortunate person, for from You is the fortune. '
Abu Zubair said: I heard Abdullah bin al-Zubair saying on the pulpit: When the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم finished the prayer, he used to say (at the end of the prayer): 'There is no God but Allah, Alone, Who has no partner, to Him belongs the Kingdom, to Him praise is due, and He is Omnipotent. There is no God but Allah to Whom we are sincere in devotion, even though the infidels should disapprove. To Him belongs wealth, to Him belongs grace and to Him is worthy accorded. There is no got but Allah to Whom we are sincere in devotion, even though infidels should disapprove.
Abu al-Zubair said: Abdullah bin al-Zubair used to recite this supplication after each (prescribed) prayer. He then narrated a similar supplication and added to it: There is no might and no power except in Allah; there is no god but Allah Whom alone we worship. To Him belongs wealth. The narrator then transmitted the rest of tradition.
Narrated Zayd ibn Arqam: I heard the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم saying (the version of Sulayman has: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم used to say) after his prayer: - O Allah, our Lord and Lord of everything, I bear witness that Thou art the Lord alone Who hast no partner; O Allah, Our Lord and Lord of everything, I bear witness that Muhammad is Thy servant and Thy Messenger ; O Allah, our Lord and Lord of everything, I bear witness that all the servants are brethren; O Allah, our Lord and Lord of everything make me sincere to Thee, and my family too at every moment, in this world and in the world hereafter, O Possessor of glory and honour, listen to me and answer. Allah is incomparably great. O Allah, Light of the heavens and of the earth . The narrator Sulaiman bin Dawud said: Lord of the heavens and of the earth, Allah is incomparably great. Allah is sufficient for me; and the excellent guardian is He; Allah is incomparably great.
Ali bin Abi Talib said: When the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم uttered salutation at the end of the prayer, he used to say: O Allah, forgive me my former and latter sins, what I have kept secret and what I have done openly, and what I have done extravagance; and what You know better than I do. You are the Advancer, the Delayer, there is no god but You.
Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم used to supplicate Allah: My Lord, help me and do not give help against me; grant me victory, and do not grant victory over me; plan on my behalf and do not plan against me; guide me, and made my right guidance easy for me; grant me victory over those who act wrongfully towards me; O Allah, make me grateful to Thee, mindful of Thee, full of fear towards Thee, devoted to Thy obedience, humble before Thee, or penitent. My Lord, accept my repentance, wash away my sin, answer my supplication, clearly establish my evidence, guide my heart, make true my tongue and draw out malice in my breast.
The aforesaid tradition has also been transmitted by Amr bin Murrah through a different chain of narrators to the same effect. This version adds: And make right guidance easy for me. The narrator did not say: my right guidance . Abu Dawud said: Sufyan heard eighteen traditions from Amr bin Murrah.
Aishah said: When the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم uttered taslim, he used to say: O Allah, You are As-Salam, and from you is As-Salam. You are blessed, O One of Magnificence and Generosity.
Thawban, the client of Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: When the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم finished the prayer, he asked forgiveness three times and said: O Allah. . . . . The narrator then narrated the tradition like that of Aishah.
