Sahih Muslim Book 5 – Hadith 171-189
Chapter 26: It is recommended to recite statements of remembrance
after the prayer, and how that is to be done.
Thauban reported:
When the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) finished his prayer. He begged forgiveness three times and said: O Allah!
Thou art Peace, and peace comes from Thee; Blessed art Thou, O Possessor of
Glory and Honour. Walid reported: I said to Auza'i: How is the seeking of forgiveness?
He replied: You should say: I beg forgiveness from Allah, I beg forgiveness
from Allah." (Sahih Muslim Book 5 – Hadith 171)
'A'isha reported:
When the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) pronounced salutation, he salutation longer than it took him to say: O
Allah: Thou art Peace, and peace comes from Thee, blessed art Thou, Possessor
of Glory and Honour; and in the narration of Ibn Numair the words are:" O
Possessor of Glory and Honour." (Sahih
Muslim Book 5 – Hadith 172)
Ibn Numair narrated it with
the same chain of transmitters and said:
O Possessor of Glory and
Honour. (Sahih Muslim Book 5 – Hadith 173)
A hadith like this has been
transmitted by Abdullah b. Harith on the authority of A'isha except for the
words that he (the Holy Prophet) used to say:
"O Possessor of Glory
and Honour." (Sahih Muslim Book 5 – Hadith 174)
Mughira b. Shu'ba wrote to
Mu'awiya:
When the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) finished the prayer and pronounced salutation he uttered (this
supplication):" There is no god but Allah. He is alone, Who has no
partner. To Him belongs the sovereignty and to Him praise is due and He is
Potent over every. thing. O Allah! no one can withhold what Thou givest, or
give what Thou withholdest, and the riches cannot avail a wealthy person with
Thee." (Sahih Muslim Book 5 – Hadith 175)
A hadith like this has been
narrated by Mughira b. Shu'ba with another chain of transmitters. Abu Bakr and
Abu Kuraib narrated in their narration (that Warrad reported):
Mughira gave me dictation
of it and I wrote it to Mu'awiya. (Sahih
Muslim Book 5 – Hadith 176)
Warrad, the freed slave of
Mughira b. Shu'ba, reported:
Mughira b. Shu'ba wrote to
Mu'awiya (it was Warrad who wrote this letter for him, i. e. Mughira): I heard
the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying:" When the salutation is
pronounced." and the rest of the hadith is the same except this that he
made no mention of:" He is Potent over everything." (Sahih Muslim Book 5 – Hadith 177)
Warrad, the scribe of
Mughira b. Shu'ba, reported:
Mu'awiya wrote to Mughira
(the contents) of the hadith as transmitted by Mansur and A'mash. (Sahih Muslim Book 5 – Hadith 178)
Warrad, the scribe of
Mughira b. Shu'ba, reported:
Mu'awiya wrote to Mughira:
Write to me anything which you heard from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). So he
(Mughira) wrote to him (Mu'awiya): I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) uttering
(these words) at the completion of prayer:" There is no god but Allah. He
is alone and there is no partner with Him. Sovereignty belongs to Him and to
Him is praise due and He is Potent over everything. O Allah! no one can
withhold what Thou givest, or give what Thou withholdest, and riches cannot
avail a wealthy person with Thee." (Sahih
Muslim Book 5 – Hadith 179)
Abu Zubair reported:
Ibn Zubair uttered at the
end of every prayer after pronouncing salutation (these words):" There is
no god but Allah. He is alone. There is no partner with Him. Sovereignty
belongs to Him and He is Potent over everything. 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." (The narrator
said): He (the Holy Prophet) uttered it at the end of every (obligatory)
prayer. (Sahih Muslim Book 5 – Hadith 180)
Sahih Muslim Book 5 – Hadith 171-189
Abu Zubair reported:
Abdullah b Zubair used to
say La ilaha il-Allah at the end of every prayer like the hadith narrated by
Ibn Numair and he reported it in the end, and then reported Ibn Zubair saying:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) uttered La ilaha il-Allah at the end of every
prayer. (Sahih Muslim Book 5 – Hadith 181)
Abu Zubair reported:
I heard Abdullah b. Zubair
addressing (people) on the pulpit and saying: When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
pronounced salutation at the end of the prayer or prayers, and then he made a
mention of the hadith as transmitted by Hisham b. 'Urwa. (Sahih Muslim Book 5 – Hadith 182)
Abu Zubair
al-Makki reported that he had heard 'Abdullah b. Zubair uttering (the words)
like that of the hadith (narrated above) at the end of the prayer after
pronouncing salutation. He at the conclusion also said that he was making a mention
of that from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). (Sahih Muslim Book 5 – Hadith 183)
Abu Huraira reported:
The poor amongst the
emigrants came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said: The possessors of great
wealth have obtained the highest ranks and the lasting bliss. He (the Holy
Prophet) said: How is that? They said: They pray as we pray, and they observe fast
as we observe fast, and they give charity but we do not give charity, and they
set slaves free but we do not set slaves free. Upon this the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) said: Shall I not teach you something by which you will catch upon those
who have preceded you, and get ahead of those who come after you, only those
who do as you do being more excellent than you? They said: Yes, Messenger of
Allah. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Extol Allah, declare His Greatness, and
Praise Him thirty-three times after every prayer. Abu Salih said: The poor
amongst the emigrants returned to the Messenger of Allah (may peace upon him)
saying: Our brethren, the possessors, of property have heard what we have done
and they did the same. So the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: This is Allah's
Grace which He gives to whom He wishes. Sumayy reported: I made a mention of
this hadith to some members of my family (and one of them) said: You have
forgotten; he (the Holy Prophet) had said (like this): "Extol Allah
thirty-three time, praise Allah thirty-three times and declare His Greatness
thirty-three times." Ibn `Ajlan said: I made a mention of this hadith to
Raja' b. Haiwa and he narrated to me a hadith like this from Abu Salih from the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) on the authority of Abu Huraira. (Sahih Muslim Book 5 – Hadith 184)
Abu Huraira narrated it
from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) that they (the poor among the emigrants) said:
Messenger of Allah, the
possessors of great wealth have obtained the highest ranks and lasting bliss,
and the rest of the hadith is the same as transmitted by Qutaiba on the
authority of Laith except that he inserted the words of Abu Salih in the
narration of Abu Huraira that" the poor of the emigrants came back,"
to the end of the hadith,, but this addition was made that Suhail said (that
every part of the supplication, i. e. Glorification of Allah, His Praise and
declaration of His Greatness) should be uttered eleven times making the total
as thirty-three. (Sahih Muslim Book 5 – Hadith 185)
Ka'b b. 'Ujra reported
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:
There are certain
remembrances, the repeaters of which or the performers of which after every
prescribed prayer will never be caused disappointment:" Glory be to
Allah" thirty-three times." Praise be to Allah" thirty-three
times, and" Allah is most Great" thirty-four times. (Sahih
Muslim Book 5 – Hadith 186)
Ka'b b. 'Ujra reported
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:
There are certain
remembrances, the repeaters of which or the performers of which at the end of
every prayer will never be caused disappointment:" Glory be to Allah"
thirty-three times," Praise be to Allah" thirty-three times,
and" Allah is most Great" thirty-four times. (Sahih
Muslim Book 5 – Hadith 187)
Abu Huraira reported
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:
If anyone extols Allah
after every prayer thirty-three times, and praises Allah thirty-three times,
and declares His Greatness thirty-three times, ninety-nine times in all, and
says to complete a hundred:" There is no god but Allah, having no partner
with Him, to Him belongs sovereignty and to Him is praise due, and He is Potent
over everything," his sins will be forgiven even If these are as abundant
as the foam of the sea. (Sahih
Muslim Book 5 – Hadith 188)
This hadith has
been narrated by Abu Huraira by another chain of transmitters. (Sahih
Muslim Book 5 – Hadith 189)
