Dhikr After Salah – 2 (Hadith No. 805)

Salam,
Bismillah.

Volume 1, Book 12, Number 805:

Narrated Warrad (the clerk of Al-Mughira bin Shu’ba):

Once Al-Mughira dictated to me in a letter addressed to Mu’awiya that the Prophet used to say after every compulsory prayer, “La ilaha ilallah wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahul-mulku wa-lahul-hamdu, wahuwa ala kulli shai in qadir. Allahumma la mani ‘a lima a’taita, wa la mu’tiya lima mana’ta, wa la yanfa’u dhal-jaddi minka-l-jadd. (None has the right to be worshipped but Allah and He has no partner in Lordship or in worship or in the Names and the Qualities, and for Him is the Kingdom and all the praises are for Him and He is omnipotent. O Allah! Nobody can hold back what you give and nobody can give what You hold back. Hard (efforts by anyone for anything cannot benefit one against Your Will).” And Al-Hasan said, “Al-jadd means prosperity.”

لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٍ 

اللَّهُمَّ لَا مَانِعَ لَمَا أَعْطَيْتَ وَلَا مُعْطِيَ لِمَا مَنَعْتَ وَلَا يَنْفَعُ ذَا الْجَدِّ مِنْكَ الْجَدُّ 

It’s a beautful du`a indeed. Believe it or not, I needed this reminder today! SubhanAllah. <3

Don’t forget to recite it after every compulsory Salah. If you don’t know it by heart, learn it! For starters, write it down on a piece of paper and put it near your praying place. Or just get a du`a book and read it out from there. If you make it a habit and do it constantly, you’ll automatically learn it inshaAllah, because our brains are cool like that. :)

Wassalam.
