After every Fardh salah, the Prophet (s.a.

w) used to recite some

dua'a (adhkaar). The companions followed him and the salaaf
continued until it has reached us today. The sunnah of the prophet
(s.a.w) is to recite the below adhkaar (dua'as) after finishing the
Fardh salah and then pray the other nawafil prayers
Abu Umama al-Bahili (Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The
Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) was asked as
to which supplication (dua) was most quickly accepted? He replied:
In the middle of the night and after the obligatory (fard) prayers.
(Sunan Tirmidhi, 3499 with a sound (hasan) chain of transmission).

From Abdullaah bin Rabaha from a man who was from the Companions of
the Prophet -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- that the Messenger of Allaah
had prayed the Asr prayer, and this man (immediately) stood up to
pray. Umar saw him and said to him sit down, since indeed the
people of the book were destroyed because they did not leave a gap
after their prayer.
The Prophet -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- said to him:

'You have done well O Ibn Khattab!'
[Collected by Ahmad, its Isnad is Saheeh as declared by al Haythami
in Majmu' az-Zawa'id 2/237 and in Silsilah al-Saheeha 2549 or
6/105.]
Shaykh Albaani said: 'This hadeeth is a clear text in that it is
prohibited to hasten to pray the Sunnah prayer after the obligatory
prayer without speaking or leaving the Masjid, like many of the non-

Arabs do, and especially the Turks. Indeed we see them in the
Haramain Sharafain (the holy Masjid in Makkah and the Prophet's
Masjid in Madina), the Imaam is about to give the Salam from the
prayer, except that these people hasten, from over here and over
there standing to pray the Sunnah! [From: 'Silsilah Saheehah' No.
2549 6/105]
Shaykh Muhammad bin Saalih al-`Uthaymeen rahimahullah
Question: Has any proof been reported for changing one's place in
order to perform the Sunnah after the obligatory prayer?
Answer: Yes, it has been reported in the Hadith of Mu'awiyah that he said:
The Prophet (sallAllaahu alaihi wa sallam) ordered us not to join one
prayer with another prayer without leaving or speaking (in
between). [1] So the scholars have understood from this that a gap must
be made between the obligatory and the Sunnah either by speaking or by
changing/shifting one's place.

Umar ibn Ata narrated that Nafie ibn Jubair sent him to Saib ibn Ukht Nair
to ask him about something that Muawiyah (Radia-Allaahu anhu) had seen
him doing after the Fard Salaat (prayer). He said: Yes, I offered the Friday
prayer along with him in the enclosure (Maqsurah), and when the Imam
concluded the Salaat with Tasleem
I stood up in my place and offered the Sunnah prayer. When Muawiyah
(Radia-Allaahu anhu) went home, he sent for me (and when I came) he
said: Never do again what you have done. When you have observed the
Friday prayer, you must not start another Sunnah prayer till you have spoken
to someone or have shifted from your place; because Allaahs Messenger
(Salla-Allaahu alayhi wa sallam) ordered us not to follow the congregational
Salaat with any other Salaat until we have talked (to someone) or moved
from our place. [Muslim]

THE TIMING OF RECITING THESE ADHKAAR.

SHOULD IT BE IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE
FARDH SALAH OR SHOULD WE FIRST PRAY
OUR SUNNAH AND NAWAFIL FIRST?
Question: Assalamu `Alaykum scholars, It says in Jami` tirmidhi,
Sunan ibn Maajah and elsewhere that : When the Messenger of Allah
( )said the Salam, he would sit only for as long as it took to say:
Allahumma Antas-Salam wa minkas-salam. Tabarakta ya Dhal-jalali
wal- ikram. (O Allah, You are As-Salam, From You is all peace,
blessed are You O Possessor of majesty and honour). The ahnaaf
take this as a proof to recite this du`a, then get up and complete the
sunan/nawafil and then sit down to recite the remaining adhkar.
Could you please answer if we are to first recite the adhkaar after
the obligatory salah and then get up to pray the sunan or follow the
hanfi stance? barakallahu feekum
Ans: We should recite the adhkaar before proceeding to praying
other nawafil or sunan.

NOTE THE ORDER OF RECITING

THE DU`A AFTER FARDH SALAH
QUESTION
After the prayer, what is the proper order to do the following things, and are
they to be done out loud or silently?
* supplications from the Sunnah
* phrases of remembrence (ath-kaar)
* recitation of the last three soorahs of the Qur'aan

* recitation of Aayah Al-Kursee

ANSWER by Shaykh Muhammad 'Umar Baazmool, instructor at Umm AlQuraa
University in Makkah
What seems to be the proper order for these things is as follows:
1) When the Messenger (sallallaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) finished his prayers,
he started with his saying of "Astagh-firullaah" three times. [1]
2) Then he would say "Allaahumma antas-Salaamu wa minkas-Salaam,
tabaarakta yaa thal-jalaali wal-ikraam." [2]
3) Then he would say the other reported supplications, like, "Laa ilaaha ill
Allaah wa laa na'budu illaa iyyaah..." [3]
4) Then he would commence making the tasbeehs, saying, "sub-haan Allaah,"
"al-hamdu lillaah," and "Allaahu akbar," 33 times each. [4]
5) Then he would recite Aayah Al-Kursee, as it is what has been reported that
he (sallallaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) used to recite after each prayer. [5]
As for the recitation of Soorah Al-Ikhlaas, Soorah Al-Falaq, and Soorah AnNaas, then they are to be recited in the morning and in the evening only. It has
not been authentically narrated, to the best of my knowledge, that they were
recited after each prayer, and Allaah knows best. [6]
And as for the question, "Are these things to be said out loud or quietly?" It
has been authentically reported from Ibn 'Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with
him), as Al-Bukhaaree reported [7], that he said they used to know when the
Messenger's prayer (sallallaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) was over due to the
voices of the Companions making takbeer, meaning the supplications after
the prayer.
Imaam Ash-Shaafi'ee, may Allaah have Mercy on him, said that this raising of
their voices with takbeer after the prayer was only done sometimes, not
always, and it was done to teach the people. Imaam Ash-Shaafi'ee had
warned that it is not for the Muslims to raise their voices with these phrases of
thikr and supplications, unless there is a need to teach them to the people. If

the people are not in need of learning them, then the norm is that a person
does not raise his voice, rather he says these things in a silent way so that he
himself hears them, and Allaah knows best.

[5] This is based on the hadeeth: "Whoever reads Aayah Al-Kursee after
each obligatory prayer, nothing will prevent him from going to Paradise
except that he must die." It was collected by An-Nasaa'ee in As-Sunan AlKubraa #9848 (9/44 of the 1421 Mu'as-sasatur-Risaalah printing), on the
authority of Aboo Umaamah. Al-Albaanee gathered and discussed its
numerous chains, declaring the hadeeth to be authentic in SilsilatulAhaadeethis-Saheehah #972.
[6] Imaam Ahmad collected a narration mentioning that 'Uqbah ibn 'Aamir
(may Allaah be pleased with him) was ordered by the Prophet (sallallaahu
'alayhe wa sallam) to recite the mu'awwithaat [1] after each prayer. It is
#17417 in the Musnad (28/633 of Ar-Risaalah), and Al-Albaanee declared it to
be authentic in his checking of Shaykh Al-Islaam's Al-Kalim At-Tayyib (p.114).
[7] Saheeh Al-Bukhaaree #841 (2/395-396 of Fat-hul-Baaree)
Taken from Bakkah.
[1] It is a widely accepted notion that mu`awwithaat includes surah ikhlaas
along with surah falaq and an-naas. However this is incorrect because Surah
ikhlaas is outside of mu`awithaat. The proof of this has been discussed here in
detail :
http://forum.mohaddis.com/threads/%D9%81%D8%B1%D8%B6%D9%86%D9%85%D8%A7%D8%B2%D9%88%DA%BA-%DA%A9%DB

The following hadeeth should clear this notion

Narrated `Aisha:
Whenever Allah's Messenger ( )went to bed, he used to recite Surat-alIkhlas, and mu`awizatayn (Surat-al-Falaq and Surat-an- Nas) all together,
and then blow on his palms and pass them over his face and those parts of
his body that his hands could reach. And when he fell ill, he used to order
me to do like that for him.
This is in Saheeh Bukhaari : http://sunnah.com/bukhari/76/63
So this hadeeth shows that surah ikhlaas (qul huwallahu ahad) is different
from mu`wizatayn (falaq wan naas) . For more details see the link above.

gathering or in rukoo` and sujood , the prophet (s.a.w) recited this du`a

The ahadeeth report that the prophet (s.a.w) recieved an indication from Allah that
he will soon see a sign and the prophet (s.a.w) thus said that the above surah was a
sign in itself plus he was shown other signs, so everytime he saw a sign in his Ummah
which was promised by Allah he used to exert himself with this du`a.

A DU`A TO BE RECITED AFTER

FAJR ESPECIALLY
On the authority of Ummu Salamah-Allaah is pleased with her-, that if the
Prophet- peace is is upon him- prayed Fajr, he would say upon Tasleem : O
Allaah, I ask you a beneficial knowledge, a good provision and an
accepted deed
This hadeeth is collected by Ibn Maajah no 762 or Vol. 1, Book 5, Hadith 925
. Al-Albaanee rahimahul-llaah authenticated it and commented in Takhreeju
Mishkaatil-MaSaabeeh no 2432: the chain of hadeeth is subject to reviewing,
However, At-Tabaraanee collected it in an authentic chain in the text he
used to say afetr Fajr. Alee bin SulTaan AL-Qaaree rahimahul-llaah said in
Mirqaatul-MaFaateeH: good provision i.e. lawful.

FARDH & NAFIL
Abd-Allaah ibn Amr (may Allaah be pleased with him) who said:
The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) said: There are two qualities, no Muslim man acquires them
but he will enter Paradise, and they are simple and easy.

Quality # 1 :
He should glorify Allaah (say Subhaan Allaah) ten times immediately
after each prayer, and praise Him (say Al-hamdu Lillaah) ten times
and magnify Him (say Allaahu akbar) ten times. I saw the
Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
counting this on his fingers. He said: That makes one hundred and
fifty on the tongue, and one thousand five hundred (hasanaat) in the
scales.
[Translators note: each of three phrases repeated ten times makes
thirty; multiplied by the number of daily prayers, which is five,
makes one hundred and fifty. Each of these good deeds of the
tongue will be rewarded with (a minimum of) ten hasanaat (and
max could be of 700 times) which will be added to the total of good
deeds to be weighed in the balance or scales on the Day of
Judgement].

Quality # 2 : (THIS IS NOT RELATED TO OUR

TOPIC IN THIS BLOG POST)
When you go to bed, glorify Him and praise Him and magnify Him one
hundred times: that will be one hundred on the tongue and a thousand in
the scales. Who among you does two thousand and five hundred sayiaat
(bad deeds) in one day? They said: How could we not count (our sins)? He
said: The Shaytaan comes to any one of you whilst he is praying and says,
Remember this, remember that, until he finishes his prayer and does not do
(this dhikr), or he comes to him when he is lying down and makes him
sleepy, until he falls asleep (without doing this dhikr).
(Abu Eesaa Al Tirmidhi said: This is a hasan saheeh hadeeth. Sunan
al-Tirmidhi, 3332).

Abu Musa Ashari radhiallahu anhu , after his prayer used to say :

Oh Allah forgive my sins, Make my affairs easy (For me) and bless me in
my sustenance (provision)
[Ref: Musannaf ibn Abi Shaybah (29865) - Via Aijaz Shaikh) ]

DUA # 16
I requested the Messenger of Allah ( )to teach me a supplication which I
could recite in my Salat (prayer). Thereupon he said, "Recite:





(O Allah! I have considerably wronged myself. There is none to forgive the
sins but You. So grant me pardon and have mercy on me. You are the Most
Forgiving, the Most Compassionate)."'
