Adhkar after salah, with Arabic and sources

أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ، اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ السَّلاَمُ، وَمِنْكَ السَّلاَمُ، تَبَارَكْتَ يَا ذَا الْجَلاَلِ وَالْإِكْرَامِ

Astaghfirullāh (three times). Allāhumma antas-salāmu wa minkas-salām, tabārakta yā dhal-jalāli wal-ikrām.

I seek the forgiveness of Allah (three times). O Allah, You are Peace and from You comes peace. Blessed are You, O Owner of majesty and honour. (Hisn al-Muslim translation (sunnah.com))

When the Prophet ﷺ finished his prayer he asked forgiveness three times and then said this (Sahih Muslim 591). The word "ya" (O) is in al-Tirmidhi's version (Jami' at-Tirmidhi 300).

لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، اللَّهُمَّ لاَ مَانِعَ لِمَا أَعْطَيْتَ، وَلاَ مُعْطِيَ لِمَا مَنَعْتَ، وَلاَ يَنْفَعُ ذَا الْجَدِّ مِنْكَ الجَدُّ

Lā ilāha illallāhu waḥdahu lā sharīka lah, lahul-mulku wa lahul-ḥamd, wa huwa `alā kulli shay'in qadīr. Allāhumma lā māni`a limā a`ṭayt, wa lā mu`ṭiya limā mana`t, wa lā yanfa`u dhal-jaddi minkal-jadd.

None has the right to be worshipped but Allah alone, who has no partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He is Able to do all things. O Allah, none can withhold what You give, none can give what You withhold, and the wealth of the wealthy is of no use to him against You. (Hisn al-Muslim translation (sunnah.com), adapted to follow the Arabic)

Al-Mughirah ibn Shu'bah wrote that the Prophet ﷺ said this after every obligatory prayer (Sahih al-Bukhari 844). Hisn al-Muslim marks the first part "three times"; that count is not in this narration, so none is given here.

لَا إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ، وَلَهُ الْحَمدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ. لاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ، لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ، وَلاَ نَعْبُدُ إِلاَّ إِيَّاهُ, لَهُ النِّعْمَةُ وَلَهُ الْفَضْلُ وَلَهُ الثَّنَاءُ الْحَسَنُ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الكَافِرُونَ

Lā ilāha illallāhu waḥdahu lā sharīka lah, lahul-mulku wa lahul-ḥamd, wa huwa `alā kulli shay'in qadīr. Lā ḥawla wa lā quwwata illā billāh, lā ilāha illallāh, wa lā na`budu illā iyyāh, lahun-ni`matu wa lahul-faḍl, wa lahuth-thanā'ul-ḥasan, lā ilāha illallāh, mukhliṣīna lahud-dīn, wa law karihal-kāfirūn.

None has the right to be worshipped but Allah alone, who has no partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He is Able to do all things. There is no might and no power except by Allah. None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and we worship none but Him. His is the blessing, His is the bounty and His is the most excellent praise. None has the right to be worshipped but Allah; we make our religion sincerely His, even though the disbelievers dislike it. (Hisn al-Muslim translation (sunnah.com), adapted to follow the Arabic)

'Abdullah ibn al-Zubayr said this after the salam of every prayer and reported that the Prophet ﷺ said it at the end of every prayer (Sahih Muslim 594).

سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

Subḥānallāh, wal-ḥamdu lillāh, wallāhu akbar (each 33 times). Lā ilāha illallāhu waḥdahu lā sharīka lah, lahul-mulku wa lahul-ḥamd, wa huwa `alā kulli shay'in qadīr.

Glory be to Allah, praise be to Allah, Allah is the Greatest (each 33 times). None has the right to be worshipped but Allah alone, who has no partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He is Able to do all things. (Hisn al-Muslim translation (sunnah.com), adapted to follow the Arabic)

The Prophet ﷺ said that whoever says these after every prayer, ninety-nine times, and completes the hundred with "La ilaha illallah...", his sins are forgiven even if they are as abundant as the foam of the sea. (Sahih Muslim 597 · in Sahih Muslim)

ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلْحَىُّ ٱلْقَيُّومُ ۚ لَا تَأْخُذُهُۥ سِنَةٌ وَلَا نَوْمٌ ۚ لَّهُۥ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۗ مَن ذَا ٱلَّذِى يَشْفَعُ عِندَهُۥٓ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِۦ ۚ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ ۖ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَىْءٍ مِّنْ عِلْمِهِۦٓ إِلَّا بِمَا شَآءَ ۚ وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ ۖ وَلَا يَـُٔودُهُۥ حِفْظُهُمَا ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَلِىُّ ٱلْعَظِيمُ

Al-lahu lā ilāha illā huwa l-ḥayu l-qayūmu lā takhudhuhu sinatun walā nawmun lahu mā fī l-samāwāti wamā fī l-arḍi man dhā alladhī yashfaʿu ʿindahu illā bi-idh'nihi yaʿlamu mā bayna aydīhim wamā khalfahum walā yuḥīṭūna bishayin min ʿil'mihi illā bimā shāa wasiʿa kur'siyyuhu l-samāwāti wal-arḍa walā yaūduhu ḥif'ẓuhumā wahuwa l-ʿaliyu l-ʿaẓīmu

Allāh - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Self-Sustaining. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursī extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great. (Saheeh International (quran.com); transliteration: quran.com word by word)

The Prophet ﷺ said that nothing prevents whoever recites Ayat al-Kursi after every obligatory prayer from entering Paradise except death. (Sahih al-Jami' 6464 · Sahih (al-Albani))

Al-Mundhiri and al-Haythami said one of its chains is sound, Ibn Kathir said its chain meets al-Bukhari's conditions, and Ibn Baz and Shu'ayb al-Arna'ut accepted it. Ibn al-Jawzi listed it among fabricated reports; Ibn Hajar said he was mistaken.

قُلْ هُوَ ٱللَّهُ أَحَدٌ ٱللَّهُ ٱلصَّمَدُ لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُۥ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌۢ ۞ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ ٱلْفَلَقِ مِن شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ وَمِن شَرِّ غَاسِقٍ إِذَا وَقَبَ وَمِن شَرِّ ٱلنَّفَّـٰثَـٰتِ فِى ٱلْعُقَدِ وَمِن شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ ۞ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ ٱلنَّاسِ مَلِكِ ٱلنَّاسِ إِلَـٰهِ ٱلنَّاسِ مِن شَرِّ ٱلْوَسْوَاسِ ٱلْخَنَّاسِ ٱلَّذِى يُوَسْوِسُ فِى صُدُورِ ٱلنَّاسِ مِنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ وَٱلنَّاسِ

Say, "He is Allāh, [who is] One, Allāh, the Eternal Refuge. He neither begets nor is born, Nor is there to Him any equivalent." · Say, "I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak From the evil of that which He created And from the evil of darkness when it settles And from the evil of the blowers in knots And from the evil of an envier when he envies." · Say, "I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind, The Sovereign of mankind, The God of mankind, From the evil of the retreating whisperer - Who whispers [evil] into the breasts of mankind - From among the jinn and mankind". (Saheeh International (quran.com); transliteration: quran.com word by word)

'Uqbah ibn 'Amir said the Prophet ﷺ told him to recite the mu'awwidhat after every prayer (Sunan Abi Dawud 1523). The narration gives no number; reciting them three times after Fajr and Maghrib is a recommendation of some scholars, not part of this hadith.

لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

Lā ilāha illallāhu waḥdahu lā sharīka lah, lahul-mulku wa lahul-ḥamd, yuḥyī wa yumīt, wa huwa `alā kulli shay'in qadīr.

None has the right to be worshipped but Allah alone, who has no partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise. He gives life and causes death, and He is Able to do all things. (Hisn al-Muslim translation (sunnah.com))

Said ten times after the Fajr prayer, while still sitting as in prayer and before speaking. The narration says ten good deeds are written, ten sins erased and ten degrees raised, with protection that day from every disliked thing and from Satan (Jami' at-Tirmidhi 3474).

Grading: Accepted: al-Tirmidhi called it hasan gharib sahih; al-Albani first graded it weak and later withdrew that, grading it hasan through supporting narrations (Sahih al-Targhib 472); al-Mundhiri accepted its chain. Questioned: Shu'ayb al-Arna'ut noted that its narrator Shahr ibn Hawshab is weak; Ibn Hajar said its chain is inconsistent (mudtarib), though it has a supporting narration.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ عِلْماً نافِعاً، وَرِزْقاً طَيِّباً، وَعَمَلاً مُتَقَبَّلاً

Allāhumma innī as'aluka `ilman nāfi`an, wa rizqan ṭayyiban, wa `amalan mutaqabbalā.

O Allah, I ask You for knowledge that benefits, provision that is good, and deeds that are accepted. (Hisn al-Muslim translation (sunnah.com), adapted to follow the Arabic)

Umm Salamah said the Prophet ﷺ said this after the salam of the Fajr prayer (Sunan Ibn Majah 925).

Grading: Accepted: al-Albani graded it sahih (Sahih Ibn Majah 762); Ibn Hajar graded it hasan through a supporting narration; the Darussalam edition grades it sahih. Questioned: al-Shawkani and Ibn 'Uthaymin noted that one narrator, the freed slave of Umm Salamah, is unknown.
