The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say in his prayer: "Allahumma inni as'aluka at-thabbuta fi al-amr wal-'azimata 'alar-rushdi wa as'aluka shukr ni'matik wa husna 'ibadatik wa as'aluka qalban saliman wa lisanan sadiqan wa as'aluka min khairi ma at'lamu wa author bika min sharri ma at'lamu wastaghfiruka lima ta'lam (O Allah, I ask You for steadfastness in all my affairs and determination in following the right path, I ask You to make me thankful for Your blessings and to make me worship You properly. I ask You for a sound heart and a truthful tongue. I ask You for the best of what You know and I seek refuge in You from the worst of what You know and I seek Your forgiveness for what You know.)" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1304)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُولُ فِي صَلَاتِهِ «اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكُ التَّثَبُّتَ فِي الْأَمْرِ وَالْعَزِيمَةَ عَلَى الرُّشْدِ وَأَسْأَلُكَ شَكَرَ نِعْمَتِكَ وَحَسَنَ عِبَادَتِكَ وَأَسْأَلُكَ قَلْبًا سَلِيمًا وَلِسَانًا صَادِقًا وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ خَيْرِ مَا تَعْلَمُ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا تَعْلَمُ وَأَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لَمَا تَعْلَمُ»  

"Ammar bin Yasir led us in prayer and he made it brief. Some of the people said to him: 'You made the prayer sort (or brief).' He said: 'Nevertheless I still recited supplications that I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' When he got up and left, a man -- he was my father but he did not name himself -- followed him and asked him about that supplication, then he came and told the people: "Allāhumma bi ʿilmikal-ghaiba wa qudratika 'alal-khalqi aḥyinī mā ʿalimtal-ḥayāta khairan lī, wa tawaffanī idhā ʿalimtal-wafāta khairan lī. Allāhumma wa 'as'aluka khashyataka fil-ghaibi wash-shahādati wa 'as'aluka kalimatal-ḥaqqi fir-riḍā'i wal ghaḍab, wa as'alukal-qaṣda fil faqri wal-ghina, wa 'as'aluka naʿīman lā yanfadu wa 'as'aluka qurrata ʿainin lā tanqaṭiʿu wa as'alukar-riḍā'i baʿdal-qaḍā'i wa 'as'aluka bardal ʿaishi baʿdal-mawti, wa 'as'aluka ladhdhatan-naẓari ilā wajhika wash-shawqa ilā liqā'ika fī ghairi ḍarrā'a muḍirratin wa lā fitnatin muḍillatin, Allāhumma zayyinnā bizīnatil-īmāni wajʿalna hudātan muhtadīn (O Allah, by Your knowledge of the unseen and Your power over creation, keep me alive so long as You know that living is good for me and cause me to die when You know that death is better for me. O Allah, cause me to fear You in secret and in public. I ask You to make me true in speech in times of pleasure and of anger. I ask You to make me moderate in times of wealth and poverty. And I ask You for everlasting delight and joy that will never cease. I ask You to make me pleased with that which You have decreed and for an easy life after death. I askYou for the sweetness of looking upon Your face and a longing to meet You in a manner that does not entail a calamity that will bring about harm or a trial that will cause deviation. O Allah, beautify us with the adornment of faith and make us among those who guide and are rightly guided." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1305)  

أَمَّا عَلَى ذَلِكَ فَقَدْ دَعَوْتُ اللهَ فِيهَا بِدَعَوَاتٍ سَمِعْتُهُنَّ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا قَامَ تَبِعَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ هُوَ أَبِي غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ كَنَّى عَنْ نَفْسِهِ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنِ الدُّعَاءِ ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَأُخْبِرَ بِهِ الْقَوْمَ «اللهُمَّ بِعِلْمِكَ الْغَيْبَ وَقُدْرَتِكَ عَلَى الْخَلْقِ أَحْيِنِي مَا عَلِمْتَ الْحَيَاةَ خَيْرًا لِي وَتَوَفَّنِي إِذَا عَلِمْتَ الْوَفَاةَ خَيْرًا لِي اللهُمَّ أَسْأَلُكَ خَشْيَتَكَ يَعْنِي فِي الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ وَأَسْأَلُكَ كَلِمَةَ الْحُكْمِ فِي الرِّضَا وَالْغَضَبِ وَأَسْأَلُكَ الْقَصْدَ فِي الْفَقْرِ وَالْغِنَى وَأَسْأَلُكَ نَعِيمًا لَا يَبِيدُ وَأَسْأَلُكَ قُرَّةَ عَيْنٍ لَا تَنْقَطِعُ وَأَسْأَلُكَ الرِّضَا بَعْدَ الْقَضَاءِ وَأَسْأَلُكَ بَرَدَ الْعَيْشِ بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ وَأَسْأَلُكَ لَذَّةَ النَّظَرِ إِلَى وَجْهِكَ وَالشَّوْقَ إِلَى لِقَائِكَ فِي غَيْرِ ضَرَّاءٍ مُضِرَّةٍ وَلَا فِتْنَةٍ مُضِلَّةٍ اللهُمَّ زَيِّنَّا بِزِينَةِ الْإِيمَانِ وَاجْعَلْنَا هُدَاةً مُهْتَدِينَ»  

"Ammar bin Yasir led the people in prayer and he made the prayer short. It was as if they disliked that, so he said: 'Did I not do bowing and prostration properly?' They said: 'Yes.' He said: 'And I said a supplication that the Prophet ﷺ used to say:Allahumma bi 'ilmikal-ghaiba wa qudratika 'alal-khalqi ahini ma 'alimtal-hayata khairan li, wa tawaffani idha 'alimtal-wafata khairan li. Allahumma as'aluka khashyataka fil-ghaibi wash-shahadati wa as'aluka kalimatul-aqua fir-rida'i wal ghadab, wa as'alukal-qasda fil faqr wal-ghina, wa as'aluka na'iman la yanfadu wa as'aluka qurrata ainan la tanqati'u wa as'alukar-rida'i ba'dal-qada'i wa as'aluka bardal 'aishi ba'dal-mawti, wa as'aluka ladhatan-nazari ila wajhika wash-shawqa ila liqa'ika fi fitnatin mudillatin, Allahumma zayyina dizinatil-imani waj'alna hudatan muhtadin (O Allah, by Your knowledge of the unseen and Your power over creation, keep me alive so long as You know that living is good for me and cause me to die when You know that death is better for me.

O Allah, beautify us with the adornment of faith and make us among those who guide and are rightly guided." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1306)  

أَمَّا إِنِّي دَعَوْتُ فِيهَا بِدُعَاءٍ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَدْعُو بِهِ «اللهُمَّ بِعِلْمِكَ الْغَيْبَ وَقُدْرَتِكَ عَلَى الْخَلْقِ أَحْيِنِي مَا عَلِمْتَ الْحَيَاةَ خَيْرًا لِي وَتَوَفَّنِي إِذَا عَلِمْتَ الْوَفَاةَ خَيْرًا لِي وَأَسْأَلُكَ خَشْيَتِكَ فِي الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ وَكَلِمَةَ الْإِخْلَاصِ فِي الرِّضَا وَالْغَضَبِ وَأَسْأَلُكَ نَعِيمًا لَا يَنْفَدُ وَقُرَّةَ عَيْنٍ لَا تَنْقَطِعُ وَأَسْأَلُكَ الرِّضَا بِالْقَضَاءِ وَبَرَدَ الْعَيْشِ بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ وَلَذَّةَ النَّظَرِ إِلَى وَجْهِكَ وَالشَّوْقَ إِلَى لِقَائِكَ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ ضَرَّاءٍ مُضِرَّةٍ وَفِتْنَةٍ مُضِلَّةٍ اللهُمَّ زَيِّنَّا بِزِينَةِ الْإِيمَانِ وَاجْعَلْنَا هُدَاةً مُهْتَدِينَ»  

"I said to 'Aishah: 'Tell me of a supplication that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say in his prayer.' She said: 'Yes. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say: Allahumma inni author bika min sharri ma 'amiltu wa min sharri ma lam a'mal (O Allah, I seek refuge with You from the evil of that which I have done, and the evil of that which I have not done.)'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1307)  

قُلْتُ لِعَائِشَةَ حَدِّثِينِي بِشَيْءٍ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَدْعُو بِهِ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَقَالَتْ نَعَمْ كَانَ يَقُولُ «اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا عَمِلْتُ وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا لَمْ أَعْمَلْ»  

"I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about the torment of the grave, and he siad: 'Yes, the torment of the grave is real.'" 'Aishah said: "After that I never saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ offer any prayer but he would seek refuge with Allah (SWT) from the torment of the grave." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1308)  

سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ فَقَالَ «نَعَمْ عَذَابُ الْقَبْرِ حَقٌّ» قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَمَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي صَلَاةً بَعْدُ إِلَّا تَعَوَّذَ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to make supplication during the prayer saying: "O Allah, I seek refuge in Thee from the punishment of the grave; I seek refuge in Thee from the trial of the Antichrist; I seek refuge in Thee from the trial of life and the trial of death; O Allah, I seek refuge in Thee from sin and debt." Someone said to him: How often you seek refuge from debt! He replied: When a man is in debt, he talks and tells lies, makes promises and breaks them. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 880)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَدْعُو فِي الصَّلَاةِ «اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْمَسِيحِ الدَّجَّالِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْمَحْيَا وَالْمَمَاتِ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْمَأْثَمِ وَالْمَغْرَمِ» فَقَالَ قَائِلٌ مَا أَكْثَرَ مَا تَسْتَعِيذُ مِنَ الْمَغْرَم فَقَالَ «إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ إِذَا غَرِمَ حَدَّثَ فَكَذَبَ وَوَعَدَ فَأَخْلَفَ»  

"I heard Abu Hurairah say: 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: When one of you recites the tashahhud, let him seek refuge with Allah (SWT) from our things: From the torment of hell, from the torment of the grave, from the trials of life and death and from the evils of the Dajjal. Then let him pray for himself asking whatever he wants.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1310)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا تَشَهَّدَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَتَعَوَّذْ مِنْ أَرْبَعٍ مِنْ عَذَابِ جَهَنَّمَ وَعَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ وَفِتْنَةِ الْمَحْيَا وَالْمَمَاتِ وَمِنْ شَرِّ الْمَسِيحِ الدَّجَّالِ ثُمَّ يَدْعُو لِنَفْسِهِ بِمَا بَدَا لَهُ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say in his prayer, after the tashahhud: "The best of word is the word of Allah (SWT) and the best of guidance is the guidance of Muhammad ﷺ." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1311)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُولُ فِي صَلَاتِهِ بَعْدَ التَّشَهُّدِ «أَحْسَنُ الْكَلَامِ كَلَامُ اللهِ وَأَحْسَنُ الْهَدْيِ هَدْيُ مُحَمَّدٍ» ﷺ  

He saw a man praying (And his bowing and prostration) were lacking. Hudhaifah said to him: 'For how long have you been praying like this?' He said: "For forty years.' He said: 'You have not been praying for forty years and if you die praying like this, you will have died following a path other than the path of Muhammad ﷺ. Then he said: 'It is possible for a man to pray briefly, but still do it properly." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1312)   

مَا صَلَّيْتَ مُنْذُ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً وَإِنْ مُتَّ وَأَنْتَ تُصَلِّي هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ لَمِتَّ عَلَى غَيْرِ فِطْرَةِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيُخَفِّفُ وَيُتِمُّ وَيُحْسِنُ  

A paternal uncle of his who was present at Badr told him, that a man entered the masjid and prayed, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was watching, but we did not realize. When he had finished, he came and greeted the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with salam. He said: "Go back and pray, for you have not prayed." So he went back and prayed, then he came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said: "Go back and pray, for you have not prayed." (This happened) two or three times. Then the man said to him: "By the One who has honored you , O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I have tried my best; teach me." He said: "When you get up to pray, perform wudu and do it well, then turn to face the Qiblah and say the takbir. Then recite the Quran, then bow until you are at ease in bowing. Then stand up until you are standing straight, then prostrate until you are at ease prostrating, then sit up until you are at ease sitting, then prostrate until you are at ease prostrating, then get up, and continue doing that until you have finished your prayer." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1313)  

أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ رَجُلًا دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَصَلَّى وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَرْمُقُهُ وَنَحْنُ لَا نَشْعُرُ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ أَقْبَلَ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «ارْجِعْ فَصَلِّ فَإِنَّكَ لَمْ تُصَلِّ» فَرَجَعَ فَصَلَّى ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «ارْجِعْ فَصَلِّ فَإِنَّكَ لَمْ تُصَلِّ» مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ وَالَّذِي أَكْرَمَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَقَدْ جَهَدْتُ فَعَلِّمْنِي فَقَالَ «إِذَا قُمْتَ تُرِيدُ الصَّلَاةَ فَتَوَضَّأْ فَأَحْسِنْ وُضُوءَكَ ثُمَّ اسْتَقْبِلِ الْقِبْلَةَ فَكَبِّرْ ثُمَّ اقْرَأْ ثُمَّ ارْكَعْ فَاطْمَئِنَّ رَاكِعًا ثُمَّ ارْفَعْ حَتَّى تَعْتَدِلَ قَائِمًا ثُمَّ اسْجُدْ حَتَّى تَطْمَئِنَّ سَاجِدًا ثُمَّ ارْفَعْ حَتَّى تَطْمَئِنَّ قَاعِدًا ثُمَّ اسْجُدْ حَتَّى تَطْمَئِنَّ سَاجِدًا ثُمَّ ارْفَعْ ثُمَّ افْعَلْ حَتَّى تَفْرُغَ مِنْ صَلَاتِكَ»  

"My father narrated to me that a paternal uncle of his, who had been at Badr, said: 'I was sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the masjid when a man came in and prayed two rak'ahs, then he came and greeted the Prophet ﷺ with salam. The Prophet ﷺ had been watching him as he prayed, so he returned his salam, then he said: "Go back and pray, for you have not prayed." So he went back and prayed, then he came back and greeted the Prophet ﷺ with salam. He returned the salam, then he said: "Go back and pray, for you have not prayed." The third or fourth time this happened, then the man said: "By the One Who revealed the Book to you, I have done my best and have tried hard; show me and teach me." He said: 'When you want to pray, perform wudu and do it well, then turn to face the Qiblah and say the takbir. Then recite the Quran, then bow until you are at ease in bowing. Then stand up until you are standing straight, then prostrate until you are at ease prostrating, then sit up until you are at ease sitting, then prostrate until you are at ease prostrating, then get up. If you complete the prayer in this manner you wil hve done it properly, and whatever you do less than this is lacking from you prayer.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1314)  

كُنْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ جَالِسًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَدَخَلَ رَجُلٌ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَقَدْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَرْمُقُهُ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامَ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ «ارْجِعْ فَصَلِّ فَإِنَّكَ لَمْ تُصَلِّ» فَرَجَعَ فَصَلَّى ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ «ارْجِعْ فَصَلِّ فَإِنَّكَ لَمْ تُصَلِّ» حَتَّى كَانَ عِنْدَ الثَّالِثَةِ أَوِ الرَّابِعَةِ فَقَالَ وَالَّذِي أَنْزَلَ عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ لَقَدْ جَهَدْتُ وَحَرَصْتُ فَأَرِنِي وَعَلِّمْنِي قَالَ «إِذَا أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ فَتَوَضَّأْ فَأَحْسِنْ وُضُوءَكَ ثُمَّ اسْتَقْبِلِ الْقِبْلَةَ فَكَبِّرْ ثُمَّ اقْرَأْ ثُمَّ ارْكَعْ حَتَّى تَطْمَئِنَّ رَاكِعًا ثُمَّ ارْفَعْ حَتَّى تَعْتَدِلَ قَائِمًا ثُمَّ اسْجُدْ حَتَّى تَطْمَئِنَّ سَاجِدًا ثُمَّ ارْفَعْ حَتَّى تَطْمَئِنَّ قَاعِدًا ثُمَّ اسْجُدْ حَتَّى تَطْمَئِنَّ سَاجِدًا ثُمَّ ارْفَعْ فَإِذَا أَتْمَمْتَ صَلَاتَكَ عَلَى هَذَا فَقَدْ تَمَّتْ وَمَا انْتَقَصْتَ مِنْ هَذَا فَإِنَّمَا تَنْتَقِصُهُ مِنْ صَلَاتِكَ»  

"I said: 'O Mother of the believers! Tell me about the Witr of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' She said: 'We used to prepare his siwak and water for purification, then Allah (SWT) would wake him when He willed to wake him at night. He would use the siwak and perform wudu, then pray eith rak'ahs; not sitting until the eighth rak'ah, when he would sit and remember Allah (SWT) and call upon Him. Then he would say the taslim loud enough for us to hear.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1315)   

عَنْ وِتْرِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَتْ كُنَّا «نَعُدُّ لَهُ سِوَاكَهُ وَطَهُورَهُ فَيَبْعَثُهُ اللهُ لَمَّا شَاءَ أَنْ يَبْعَثَهُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَيَتَسَوَّكُ وَيَتَوَضَّأُ يُصَلِّي ثَمَانِي رَكَعَاتٍ لَا يَجْلِسُ فِيهِنَّ إِلَّا عِنْدَ الثَّامِنَةِ فَيَجْلِسُ فَيَذْكُرُ اللهَ وَيَدْعُو»  

It was narrated from ‘Amir bin Sa’d, from his father, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say the Salam to his right and to his left. (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 915)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ «يُسَلِّمُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ»  

I saw the Messenger of Allah (may peace be open him) pronouncing taslim on his right and on his left till I saw the whiteness of his cheek. (Using translation from Muslim 582)  

كُنْتُ أَرَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ «يُسَلِّمُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ حَتَّى يُرَى بَيَاضُ خَدِّهِ»  

When we said prayer with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, we pronounced: Peace be upon you and Mercy of Allah, peace be upon you and Mercy of Allah, and made gesture with the hand on both the sides. Upon this the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him said: What do you point out with your hands as if they are the tails of headstrong horses? This is enough for you that one should place one's hand on one's thigh and then pronounce salutation upon one's brother on the right side and then on the left. (Using translation from Muslim 431a)   

كُنَّا إِذَا صَلَّيْنَا خَلْفَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قُلْنَا السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَأَشَارَ مِسْعَرٌ بِيَدِهِ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ شِمَالِهِ فَقَالَ «مَا بَالُ هَؤُلَاءِ الَّذِينَ يُومِئُونَ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ كَأَنَّهَا أَذْنَابُ الْخَيْلِ الشُّمْسِ أَمَا يَكْفِي أَحَدُهُمْ أَنْ يَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى فَخِذِهِ ثُمَّ يُسَلِّمَ عَلَى أَخِيهِ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَشِمَالِهِ»  

"I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying the takir every time he went down or came up, or stood or sat, and he said the salam to his right and to his left: As-salamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullah, as-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullah (peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah, peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah) until the whiteness of his cheek could be seen . And I saw Abu Bakr and 'Umar, may Allah (WT) be pleased with them, doing likewise." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1319)  

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يُكَبِّرُ فِي كُلِّ خَفْضٍ وَرَفْعٍ وَقِيَامٍ وَقُعُودٍ وَيُسَلِّمُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ شِمَالِهِ «السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ» حَتَّى يُرَى بَيَاضُ خَدِّهِ وَرَأَيْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ يَفْعَلَانِ ذَلِكَ  

He asked 'Abdullah bin 'Umar about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: "Allahu Akbar" every time he went down and "Allahu Akbar" every time he came up, then he said: "As-salamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullah (peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah) to his right and: As-salamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullah (peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah) to his left." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1320)  

عَنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ كُلَّمَا وَضَعَ اللهُ أَكْبَرَ كُلَّمَا رَفَعَ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ «السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ» عَنْ يَمِينِهِ «السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ» عَنْ يَسَارِهِ  

"I said to Ibn 'Umar: "Tell me about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ; how was it?" He mentioned the takbir and he mentioned: As-salamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullah (peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah) to his right and: As-salamu 'alaykum (peace be upon you) to his left." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1321)   

أَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ كَيْفَ كَانَتْ؟ قَالَ «فَذَكَرَ التَّكْبِيرَ يَعْنِي وَذَكَرَ السَّلَامَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةَ اللهِ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ»  

The Prophet ﷺ said: "It is as if I can see the whiteness of his cheek, saying to his right: As-salamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullah (peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah) and to his left: As-salamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullah (peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah)." (Sahih (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1322)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى بَيَاضِ خَدِّهِ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ «السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ» وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ «السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ»  

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say the salam to his right so that the whiteness of his cheek could be seen, and to his left so that the whiteness of his cheek could be seen." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1323)  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يُسَلِّمُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ حَتَّى يَبْدُوَ بَيَاضَ خَدِّهِ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ حَتَّى يَبْدُوَ بَيَاضَ خَدِّهِ»  

The Prophet ﷺ used to say salam to his right and to his left: As-salamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullah, as-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullah (peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah, peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah) until the whiteness of his cheek could be seen from here, and the whiteness of his cheek from here. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1324)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُسَلِّمُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ «السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ» حَتَّى يُرَى بَيَاضُ خَدِّهِ مِنْ هَاهُنَا وَبَيَاضُ خَدِّهِ مِنْ هَاهُنَا  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say salam to his right:As-salamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullah (peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah) , until the whiteness of his right cheek could be seen, and to his left: As-salamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullah (peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah) until the whiteness of his left cheek could be seen. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1325)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يُسَلِّمُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ «السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ» حَتَّى يُرَى بَيَاضُ خَدِّهِ الْأَيْمَنِ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ «السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ» حَتَّى يُرَى بَيَاضُ خَدِّهِ الْأَيْسَرِ  

We said our prayer with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and, while pronouncing salutations, we made gestures with our hands (indicating)" Peace be upon you, peace be upon you." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ looked towards us and said: Why is it that you make gestures with your hands like the tails of headstrong horses? When any one of you pro- nounces salutation (in prayer) he should only turn his face towards his companion and should not make a gesture with his hand. (Using translation from Muslim 431b)  

صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَكُنَّا إِذَا سَلَّمْنَا قُلْنَا بِأَيْدِينَا السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ قَالَ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «مَا شَأْنُكُمْ تُشِيرُونَ بِأَيْدِيكُمْ كَأَنَّهَا أَذْنَابُ خَيْلٍ شُمْسٍ؟ إِذَا سَلَّمَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَلْتَفِتْ إِلَى صَاحِبِهِ وَلَا يُومِئُ بِيَدِهِ»  

"I used to lead my people Bani Salim in prayer. I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: 'I have lost my eyesight and the rainwater prevents me from reaching the masjid of my people. I would like you to come and pray in my house in a place that I can take as a masjid.' The Prophet ﷺ said: 'I will do that, if Allah (SWT) wills.' The next day, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came, and Abu Bakr was with him, after the day had grown hot. The Prophet ﷺ asked for permission to enter, and I gave him permission. He did not sit own until he asked: 'Where would you like me to pray in your house?' I showed him the place where I wanted him to pray, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood there and formed a row behind him, then he said the salam and we said the salam when he did." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1327)  

سَمِعْتُ عِتْبَانَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ كُنْتُ أُصَلِّي لِقَوْمِي بَنِي سَالِمٍ فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ إِنِّي قَدْ أَنْكَرْتُ بَصَرِي وَإِنَّ السُّيُولَ تَحُولُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ مَسْجِدِ قَوْمِي فَلَوَدِدْتُ أَنَّكَ جِئْتَ فَصَلَّيْتَ فِي بَيْتِي مَكَانًا أَتَّخِذُهُ مَسْجِدًا قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ سَأَفْعَلُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ فَغَدَا عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ مَعَهُ بَعْدَمَا اشْتَدَّ النَّهَارُ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَأَذِنْتُ لَهُ فَلَمْ يَجْلِسْ حَتَّى قَالَ «أَيْنَ تُحِبُّ أَنْ أُصَلِّي مِنْ بَيْتِكَ؟» فَأَشَرْتُ لَهُ إِلَى الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي أُحِبُّ أَنْ يُصَلِّي فِيهِ «فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَصَفَفْنَا خَلْفَهُ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ وَسَلَّمْنَا حِينَ سَلَّمَ»  

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pray eleven rak'ahs, making it odd (witr) by one between the time when he finished 'Isha and dawn, and he would prostrate for as long as it takes one of you to recite fifty verses before raising his head." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1328)  

عَائِشَةُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يُصَلِّي فِيمَا بَيْنَ أَنْ يَفْرُغَ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْعِشَاءِ إِلَى الْفَجْرِ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً وَيُوتِرُ بِوَاحِدَةٍ وَيَسْجُدُ سَجْدَةً قَدْرَ مَا يَقْرَأُ أَحَدُكُمْ خَمْسِينَ آيَةً قَبْلَ أَنْ يَرْفَعَ رَأْسَهُ» وَبَعْضُهُمْ يَزِيدُ عَلَى بَعْضٍ فِي الْحَدِيثِ مُخْتَصَرٌ  

The Prophet ﷺ said the salam, then he spoke, then he performed two prostrations of forgetfulness. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1329)  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ «سَلَّمَ ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيِ السَّهْوِ»  

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said the salam then he performed two prostrations of forgetfulness while he was still sitting, then he said the salam." He said: He mentioned it in the hadith of Dhul-Yadain. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1330)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ «سَلَّمَ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيِ السَّهْوِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ» قَالَ ذَكَرَهُ فِي حَدِيثِ ذِي الْيَدَيْنِ  

The Prophet ﷺ prayed three (rak'ahs) then said the taslim. Al-Khirbaq said: "You prayed three." So he led them in praying the remaining rak'ah, then he said the taslim, then he did the two prostrations of forgetfulness, then he said the taslim (again). (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1331)  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ صَلَّى ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ فَقَالَ الْخِرْبَاقُ إِنَّكَ صَلَّيْتَ ثَلَاثًا فَصَلَّى بِهِمُ الرَّكْعَةَ الْبَاقِيَةَ ثُمَّ «سَلَّمَ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيِ السَّهْوِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ»  

"I watched the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he prayed, and I noticed that his standing, his bowing, his standing up after bowing, his prostration, his sitting between the two prostrations and his sitting between the taslim and departing were almost the same in length." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1332)  

رَمَقْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَوَجَدْتُ «قِيَامَهُ وَرَكْعَتَهُ فَاعْتِدَالَهُ بَعْدَ الرَّكْعَةِ فَسَجْدَتَهُ فَجَلْسَتَهُ بَيْنَ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ فَسَجْدَتَهُ فَجَلْسَتَهُ بَيْنَ التَّسْلِيمِ وَالِانْصِرَافِ قَرِيبًا مِنَ السَّوَاءِ»  

Umm Salamah told her that during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, when the women said the taslim at the end of the prayer, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the men who had prayed with him would stay put for as long as Allah ﷺ willed. Then, when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ got up, the men did too. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1333)  

أَنَّ «النِّسَاءَ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ كُنَّ إِذَا سَلَّمْنَ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ قُمْنَ وَثَبَتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَمَنْ صَلَّى مِنَ الرِّجَالِ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ فَإِذَا قَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَامَ الرِّجَالُ»  

He prayed subh with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and when he finished praying he turned away (from the Qiblah and toward the people.) (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1334)  

أَنَّهُ «صَلَّى مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَاةَ الصُّبْحِ فَلَمَّا صَلَّى انْحَرَفَ»  

"I used to know that the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ended by the takbir." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1335)  

إِنَّمَا «كُنْتُ أَعْلَمُ انْقِضَاءَ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِالتَّكْبِيرِ»  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded me to recite Mu'awwidhatan (the last two surahs of the Qur'an) after every prayer. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1523)  

«أَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ أَقْرَأَ الْمُعَوِّذَاتِ دُبُرَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ»  

When he finished the prayer, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would pray for forgiveness three times and say: 'Allahumma anta asalam, wa minka as-salam tabarakta ya dhal-jalali wal-ikram (O Allah, You are the source of eace (or the One free from all faults) and from You comes peace, blessed are You, O Possessor of Majesty and Honor)." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1337)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا انْصَرَفَ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ اسْتَغْفَرَ ثَلَاثًا قَالَ «اللهُمَّ أَنْتَ السَّلَامُ وَمِنْكَ السَّلَامُ تَبَارَكْتَ يَا ذَا الْجِلَالِ وَالْإِكْرَامِ»  

When the Prophet ﷺ 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." (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1512)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا سَلَّمَ قَالَ «اللهُمَّ أَنْتَ السَّلَامَ وَمِنْكَ السَّلَامُ تَبَارَكْتَ يَا ذَا الْجِلَالِ وَالْإِكْرَامِ»  

"I heard Abdullah bin Az-Zubair speaking from the Minbar, saying: 'When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said the taslim, he would say: "La Ilaha Illallah wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul-mulk wa lahul-hamd wa huwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadir, la hawla wala quwwata illa billahil-'azim; la ilaha ill-Allahu wa la nabbed illa iyyah, ahlan-ni'mati wal-fadli wath-thana'il-has an; la ilaha ill-Allah, mukhlisina lahud-dina wa law karihal-kafirun (There is none worthy of worship except Allah (SWT) alone, with no partner or associate. His is the Dominion, to Him be all praise, and He is able to do all things; there is no power and no strength except with Allah (SWT) the Almighty. There is none worthy of worship except Allah (SWT), and we worship none but Him, the source of blessing and kindness and the One Who is deserving of all good praise. There is none worthy of worship except Allah (SWT), and we are sincere in faith and devotion to Him even though the disbelievers detest it. ) (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1339)  

سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ يُحَدِّثُ عَلَى هَذَا الْمِنْبَرِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا سَلَّمَ يَقُولُ «لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَلَا نَعْبُدُ إِلَّا إِيَّاهُ أَهْلُ النِّعْمَةِ وَالْفَضْلِ وَالثَّنَاءِ الْحَسَنِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكَافِرُونَ»  

"Abdullah bin Az-Zubair used to recite the tahlil following every prayer, saying: 'La Ilaha Illallah wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul-mulk wa lahul-hamd wa huwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadir, la hawla wala quwwata illa billahil-'azim; la ilaha ill-Allahu wa la nabbed illa iyyah, ahlan-ni'mati wal-fadli wath-thana'il-has an; la ilaha ill-Allah, mukhlisina lahud-dina wa law karihal-kafirun (There is none worthy of worship except Allah (SWT) alone, with no partner or associate. His is the Dominion, to Him be all praise, and He is able to do all things; there is no power and no strength except with Allah (SWT) the Almighty. There is none worthy of worship except Allah (SWT), and we worship none but Him, the source of blessing and kindness and the One Who is deserving of all good praise. There is none worthy of worship except Allah (SWT), and we are sincere in faith and devotion to Him even though the disbelievers detest it. ) Then Ibn Az-Zubair said: 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to recite the tahlil in this manner following every prayer.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1340)  

كَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ يُهَلِّلُ فِي دُبُرِ الصَّلَاةِ يَقُولُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَلَا نَعْبُدُ إِلَّا إِيَّاهُ لَهُ النِّعْمَةُ وَلَهُ الْفَضْلُ وَلَهُ الثَّنَاءُ الْحَسَنُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكَافِرُونَ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ ابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُهَلِّلُ بِهِنَّ فِي دُبُرِ الصَّلَاةِ  

Muawiyah wrote to Al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah saying: "Tell me of something that you heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." He said: "When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished praying, he would say: La Ilaha Illallah wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul-mulk wa lahul-hamd wa huwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadir. Allahumma la mani' lima a'taita wa la mu'tia lima mana'ta wa la yanfa'u dhal-jaddi minka al-jadd. (There is none worthy of worship except Allah ﷺ alone with no partner or associate. He is the Dominion and to Him be all praise, and He is able to do all things. O Allah, one can withhold what You have given and none can give what You have withheld, and no wealth or fortune can benefit anyone for from You comes all wealth and fortune.)'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1341)  

أَخْبَرَنِي بِشَيْءٍ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا قَضَى الصَّلَاةَ قَالَ «لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمَلَكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ اللهُمَّ لَا مَانِعَ لَمَّا أَعْطَيْتُ وَلَا مُعْطِيَ لَمَّا مَنَعْتَ وَلَا يَنْفَعُ ذَا الْجَدِّ مِنْكَ الْجَدُّ»  

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." (Using translation from Muslim 593a)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُولُ دُبُرَ الصَّلَاةِ إِذَا سَلَّمَ «لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ اللهُمَّ لَا مَانِعَ لَمَّا أَعْطَيْتَ وَلَا مُعْطِيَ لَمَّا مَنَعْتَ وَلَا يَنْفَعُ ذَا الْجَدِّ مِنْكَ الْجَدُّ»  

Mu'awiyah wrote to Al-Mughirah asking him to write him a hadith that he had heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Al-Mughirah wrote to him (Saying): "I heard him say, when he finished the prayer: 'La Ilaha Illallah wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul-mulk wa lahul-hamd wa huwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadir (There is none worthy of worship except Allah ﷺ alone with no partner or associate. He is the Dominion and to Him be all praise, and He is able to do all things) three times." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1343)  

أَنِ اكْتُبْ إِلَيَّ بِحَدِيثٍ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ الْمُغِيرَةُ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ عِنْدَ انْصِرَافِهِ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ «لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ» ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ  

When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sat in a gathering or prayed, he said some words, and 'Aishah asked him about those words. He said: "If he has spoken some good words (and he says this statement of remembrance), it will be a seal for them to preserve them until the Day of Resurrection, and if he has said something other than that, it (these words) will be an expiation for him: 'Subhanak Allahumma wa bihamdika, astaghfiruka wa atubu ilayk (Glory and praise be to You, O Allah, I seek Your forgiveness and I repent to You.)'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1344)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا جَلَسَ مَجْلِسًا أَوْ صَلَّى تَكَلَّمَ بِكَلِمَاتٍ فَسَأَلَتْهُ عَائِشَةُ عَنِ الْكَلِمَاتِ فَقَالَ «إِنْ تَكَلَّمَ بِخَيْرٍ كَانَ طَابِعًا عَلَيْهِنَّ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَإِنْ تَكَلَّمَ بِغَيْرِ ذَلِكَ كَانَ كَفَّارَةً لَهُ سُبْحَانَكَ اللهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ»  

"A Jewish woman entered unto me and said: 'The torment of the grave is because of urine.' I said: 'You are lying.' She said: 'No, it is true; we cut our skin and clothes because of it.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out to pray and our voices became loud. He said: 'What is this?' So I told him what she had said. He said: 'She spoke the truth.' After that day he never offered any prayer but he said, following the prayer: 'Rabba Jibril wa Mika'il wa Israfil, aiding min harrin-nar wa 'adhabil-qabr (Lord of Jibril, Mika'il and Israfil, grant me refuge from the heat of the Fire and the torment of the grave).'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1345)   

بَلَى إِنَّا لَنَقْرِضُ مِنْهُ الْجِلْدَ وَالثَّوْبَ فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ وَقَدِ ارْتَفَعَتْ أَصْوَاتُنَا فَقَالَ «مَا هَذَا؟» فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِمَا قَالَتْ فَقَالَ «صَدَقَتْ» فَمَا صَلَّى بَعْدَ يَوْمَئِذٍ إِلَّا قَالَ فِي دُبُرِ الصَّلَاةِ «رَبَّ جِبْرِيلَ وَمِيكَائِيلَ وَإِسْرَافِيلَ أَعِذْنِي مِنْ حَرِّ النَّارِ وَعَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ»  

Ka'b swore to him: "By Allah (SWT) Who parted the sea for Musa, we find in the Tawrah that when Dawud, the Prophet of Allah, finished his prayer, he would say: 'Allahumma Aslih li dinya-lladhi ja'altahu li ismatan wa aslih li dunyaya-llati ja'alta fiha ma'ashi, Allahumma inni a-udhu biridaka min sakhatik wa a-udhu bi'afwika min naqmatika wa a-udhu bika mink, la mani' lima a'taita wa la mu'tia lima mana'ta wa la yanfa'u dhal-jaddi minka al-jadd (O Allah, set straight my religious commitment that You have made a protection for me, and set straight my worldly affairs which You have made a means of my livelihood. O Allah, I seek refuge in Your pleasure from Your wrath, and I seek refuge in Your forgiveness from Your punishment, and I seek refuge in You from You. None can withhold what you have given and none can give what you have withheld, and no wealth or fortune can avail the man of wealth and fortune before You.)'" He said: "And Ka'b told me that Suhaib told him that Muhammad ﷺ used to say (these words) when he had finished praying.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1346)  

أَنَّ كَعْبًا حَلَفَ لَهُ بِاللهِ الَّذِي فَلَقَ الْبَحْرَ لِمُوسَى إِنَّا نَجْدُ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ أَنَّ دَاوُدَ نَبِيَّ اللهِ كَانَ إِذَا انْصَرَفَ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ قَالَ «اللهُمَّ أَصْلِحْ لِي دِينِي الَّذِي جَعَلْتُهُ لِي عِصْمَةً وَأَصْلَحَ لِي دُنْيَايَ الَّتِي جَعَلْتَ فِيهَا مَعَاشِي اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِرِضَاكَ مِنْ سَخَطِكَ وَأَعُوذُ يَعْنِي بِعَفْوِكَ مِنْ نِقْمَتِكَ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْكَ لَا مَانِعَ لِمَا أَعْطَيْتَ وَلَا مُعْطِيَ لِمَا مَنَعْتَ وَلَا يَنْفَعُ ذَا الْجَدِّ مِنْكَ الْجَدُّ» قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنِي كَعْبٌ أَنَّ صُهَيْبًا حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا ﷺ كَانَ يَقُولُهُنَّ عِنْدَ انْصِرَافِهِ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ  

"My father used to say following every prayer: 'Allahumma inni a-udhu bika min al-kufri wal-faqri wa 'adhab al-qabr. ( O Allah, I seek refuge with You from Kufr, poverty, and the torment of the grave)' and I used to say them (these words). My father said: 'O my son, from whom did you learn this?' I said: 'From you. He said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say them following the prayer.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1347)  

كَانَ أَبِي يَقُولُ فِي دُبُرِ الصَّلَاةِ «اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْكُفْرِ وَالْفَقْرِ وَعَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ» فَكُنْتُ أَقُولُهُنَّ فَقَالَ أَبِي عَمَّنْ أَخَذْتَ هَذَا؟ قُلْتُ عَنْكَ قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُولُهُنَّ فِي دُبُرِ الصَّلَاةِ  

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'There are two qualities which no Muslim person attains but he will enter Paradise, and they are easy, but those who do them are few.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'The five daily prayers: After each prayer one of you glorifies Allah (SWT) ten times and praises Him ten times and magnifies him ten times, which makes one hundred and fifty on the tongue and one thousand five hundred in the balance.' And I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ counting them on his hands. 'And when one of you retires to his bed he says the tasbih thirty-three times and the tahmid thirty-three times and the takbir thirty-four times, that is one hundred on the tongue and one thousand in the balance.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "So which of you does two thousand five hundred bad deeds in a day and a night?" It was said: "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, how can a person not persist in doing that?" He said: "The Shaitan comes to one of you when he is praying and says: 'Remember such and such, remember such and such," or he comes to him when he is in bed and makes him fall asleep." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1348)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «خُلَّتَانِ لَا يُحْصِيهُمَا رَجُلٌ مُسْلِمٌ إِلَّا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ وَهُمَا يَسِيرٌ وَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ بِهِمَا قَلِيلٌ» قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «الصَّلَوَاتُ الْخَمْسُ يُسَبِّحُ اللهَ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي دُبُرِ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ عَشْرًا وَيَحْمَدُ عَشْرًا وَيُكَبِّرُ عَشْرًا فَهِيَ خَمْسُونَ وَمِائَةٌ عَلَى اللِّسَانِ وَأَلْفٌ وَخَمْسُمِائَةٌ فِي الْمِيزَانِ» فَأَنَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَعْقِدُهُنَّ بِيَدِهِ «فَإِذَا أَوَى أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ أَوْ مَضْجَعِهِ سَبَّحَ ثَلَاثًا وَثَلَاثِينَ وَحَمِدَ ثَلَاثًا وَثَلَاثِينَ وَكَبَّرَ أَرْبَعًا وَثَلَاثِينَ فَهِيَ مِائَةٌ عَلَى اللِّسَانِ وَأَلْفٌ فِي الْمِيزَانِ» قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «فَأَيُّكُمْ يَعْمَلُ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ وَلَيْلَةٍ بِأَلْفَيْنِ وَخَمْسُمِائَةِ سَيِّئَةٍ» قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَكَيْفَ لَا نُحْصِيهُمَا؟ قَالَ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَأْتِي أَحَدَكُمْ وَهُوَ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَيَقُولُ اذْكُرْ كَذَا اذْكُرْ كَذَا وَيَأْتِيهِ عِنْدَ مَنَامِهِ فَيُنِيمُهُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Those who say 'Subhan Allah' thirty-three times, 'Alhamdulillah' thirty-three times, and 'Allahu Akbar' thirty-four times after every prayer will never be disappointed." (Reported by Mahmoud bin Ghilan, from Qabeesah, from Sufyan, from Mansour, from Al-Hakam bin 'Atiyah).  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مُعَقِّبَاتٌ لَا يَخِيبُ قَائِلُهُنَّ سَبِّحِ اللهَ فِي دُبُرِ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ ثَلَاثًا وَثَلَاثِينَ وَيَحْمَدُهُ ثَلَاثًا وَثَلَاثِينَ وَيُكَبِّرُهُ أَرْبَعًا وَثَلَاثِينَ» 1274 [وعن محمود بن غيلان عن قبيصة عن سفيان عن منصور عن الحكم بن عتيبة به]  

"They were commanded to say the tasbih thirty-three times following the prayer, and to say the tahmid thirty-three times, and to say the takbir thirty-four times, then a man from among the Ansar was told in a dream: 'Did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ command you to say the tasbih thirty-three times following the prayer, and to say the tahmid thirty-three times, and to say the takbir thirty-four times?' He said: 'Yes.' 'Instead of that, say each one twenty-five times, and include the tahlil among them.' The next morning he came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and told him about that, and he said: 'Do that.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1350)  

أَنْ يُسَبِّحُوا دُبُرَ كُلَّ صَلَاةٍ ثَلَاثًا وَثَلَاثِينَ وَيَحْمَدُوا ثَلَاثًا وَثَلَاثِينَ وَيُكَبِّرُوا أَرْبَعًا وَثَلَاثِينَ فَأُتِيَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فِي مَنَامِهِ فَقِيلَ أَمَرَكُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ تُسَبِّحُوا دُبُرَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ ثَلَاثًا وَثَلَاثِينَ وَتَحْمَدُوا ثَلَاثًا وَثَلَاثِينَ وَتُكَبِّرُوا أَرْبَعًا وَثَلَاثِينَ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَاجْعَلُوهَا خَمْسًا وَعِشْرِينَ وَاجْعَلُوا فِيهَا التَّهْلِيلَ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ «اجْعَلُوهَا كَذَلِكَ»  

A man saw in a dream that it was said to him: "What does your Prophet ﷺ command you to do?" He said: "He commanded us to say Tasbih thirty-three times following the prayer, and to say the tahmid thirty-three times, and to say the takbir thirty-four times, and that makes one-hundred." He said: Say the tasbih twenty-five times and say the tahmid twenty-five times and say the takbir twenty-five times and say the tahlil twenty-five times, and that will make one hundred." The following morning he told the Prophet ﷺ about that and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Do what the Ansari said." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1351)  

أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ رَأَى فِيمَا يَرَى النَّائِمُ قِيلَ لَهُ بِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ أَمَرَكُمْ نَبِيُّكُمْ ﷺ؟ قَالَ أَمَرَنَا أَنْ نُسَبِّحَ ثَلَاثًا وَثَلَاثِينَ وَنَحْمَدُ ثَلَاثًا وَثَلَاثِينَ وَنُكَبِّرَ أَرْبَعًا وَثَلَاثِينَ فَتِلْكَ مِائَةٌ قَالَ «سَبِّحُوا خَمْسًا وَعِشْرِينَ وَاحْمَدُوا خَمْسًا وَعِشْرِينَ وَكَبَّرُوا خَمْسًا وَعِشْرِينَ وَهَلِّلُوا خَمْسًا وَعِشْرِينَ فَتِلْكَ مِائَةٌ» فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ ذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «افْعَلُوا كَمَا قَالَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ»  

The Prophet ﷺ passed by her while she was in the masjid, supplicating, then he passed by her again when it was almost midday. He said to her: "Are you still here?" She said: "Yes." He said: "Shall I not teach you some words which you can say? Subhan Allah adada khalqihi, subhan Allah adada khalqihi, subhan Allah adada khalqihi; subhan Allah rida nafsihi, subhan Allah rida nafsihi, subhan Allah rida nafsihi; Subhan Allah zinata 'arshihi, Subhan Allah zinata 'arshihi, Subhan Allah zinata 'arshihi; Subhan Allah midada Kalamatihi, Subhan Allah midada Kalamatihi, Subhan Allah midada Kalamatihi (Glory be to Allah the number of His creation, glory be to Allah the number of His creation, glory be to Allah the number of His creation; glory be to Allah as much as pleases Him, glory be to Allah as much as pleases Him, glory be to Allah as much as pleases Him; glory be to Allah the weight of His throne, glory be to Allah the weight of His throne, glory be to Allah the weight of His throne; glory be to Allah the number of His words, glory be to Allah the number of His words, glory be to Allah the number of His words).' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1352)  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ مَرَّ عَلَيْهَا وَهِيَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ تصلي تَدْعُو ثُمَّ مَرَّ بِهَا قَرِيبًا مِنْ نِصْفِ النَّهَارِ فَقَالَ لَهَا «مَا زِلْتِ عَلَى حالِكَ؟» قَالَتْ نَعَمْ قَالَ «أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكِ؟» يَعْنِي «كَلِمَاتٍ تَقُولِينَهُنَّ» سُبْحَانَ اللهِ عَدَدَ خَلْقِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ عَدَدَ خَلْقِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ عَدَدَ خَلْقِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ رِضَا نَفْسِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ رِضَا نَفْسِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ رِضَا نَفْسِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ زِنَةَ عَرْشِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ زِنَةَ عَرْشِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ زِنَةَ عَرْشِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ مِدَادَ كَلِمَاتِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ مِدَادَ كَلِمَاتِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ مِدَادَ كَلِمَاتِهِ  

"Some poor people came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, the rich pray as we pray, and they fast as we fast, but they have wealth that they give in charity and with which they free slaves.' The Prophet ﷺ said: 'If you pray and say SubhanAllah thirty-three times, Al-hamdu-lillah thirty-three times and Alahu Akbar thirty-four times, and La illaha illaAllah ten times, then you will catch up with those who went ahead of you and will go ahead of those who come after you." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1353)  

جَاءَ الْفُقَرَاءُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ الْأَغْنِيَاءَ يُصَلُّونَ كَمَا نُصَلِّي وَيَصُومُونَ كَمَا نَصُومُ وَلَهُمْ أَمْوَالٌ يَتَصَدَّقُونَ بِهَا وَيُعْتِقُونَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا صَلَّيْتُمْ فَقُولُوا سُبْحَانَ اللهِ ثَلَاثًا وَثَلَاثِينَ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ثَلَاثًا وَثَلَاثِينَ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ أَرْبَعًا وَثَلَاثِينَ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ عَشْرًا فَإِنَّكُمْ تُدْرِكُونَ بِذَلِكَ مَنْ سَبَقَكُمْ وَتَسْبِقُونَ مَنْ بَعْدَكُمْ
