The Prophet ﷺ did istighfar three times after every prayer and asked for peace
When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished his prayer, he would seek forgiveness three times and say:
"O Allah, You are Peace, and from You is peace. Blessed are You, Possessor of majesty and honor."
al-Walid said: I said to al-Awzai, “How is the seeking of forgiveness?” He said: You say: I seek forgiveness from Allah, I seek forgiveness from Allah.
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا انْصَرَفَ مِنْ صَلاَتِهِ اسْتَغْفَرَ ثَلاَثًا وَقَالَ:
«اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ السَّلاَمُ، وَمِنْكَ السَّلاَمُ، تَبَارَكْتَ ذَا الْجَلاَلِ وَالإِكْرَامِ».
قَالَ الْوَلِيدُ: فَقُلْتُ لِلأَوْزَاعِيِّ: كَيْفَ الاِسْتِغْفَارُ؟ قَالَ: تَقُولُ: أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ، أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ.
