Thauban reported: When the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) finished his prayer. he begged forgiveness three times and said: O Allah! Thou art Peace, and peace comes from Thee; Blessed art Thou, O Possessor of Glory and Honour. Walid reported: I said to Auza'i: How Is the seeking of forgiveness? He replied: You should say: "I beg forgiveness from Allah, I beg forgiveness from Allah."

'A'isha reported: When the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) pronounced salutation, the salutation took longer than it took him to say: O Allah: Thou art Peace, and peace comes from Thee, blessed art Thou, Possessor of Glory and Honour; and in the narration of Ibn Numair the words are: "O Possessor of Glory and Honour."

Ibn Numair narrated it with the same chain of transmitters and said: O Possessor of Glory and Honour.

A hadith like this has been transmitted by 'Abdullah bin Harith on the authority of A'isha except for the words that he (the Holy Prophet) used to say: "O Possessor of Glory and Honour."

Mughira bin Shu'bah wrote to Mu'awiyah: When the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) 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."

A hadith like this has been narrated by Mughira bin Shu'bah with another chain of transmitters. Abu Bakr (RA) and Abu Kuraib narrated in their narration (that Warrad reported): Mughira gave me dictation of it and 1 wrote it to Mu'awiyah.

Warrad, the freed slave of Mughira bin Shu'bah, reported: Mughira bin Shu'bah wrote to Mu'awiyah (it was Warrad who wrote this letter for him, i. e. Mughira): I heard the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) saying: "When the salutation is pronounced." and the rest of the hadith is the same except this that he made no mention of:" He is Potent over everything."

Warrad, the scribe of Mughira bin Shu'bah, reported: Mu'awiyah wrote to Mughira (the contents) of the hadith as transmitted by Mansur and A'mash.

Warrad, the scribe of Mughira bin Shu'bah, reported: Mu'awiyah wrote to Mughira: Write to me anything which you heard from the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) . So he (Mughira) wrote to him (Mu'awiyah): I heard the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) uttering (these words) at the completion of prayer: "There is no god but Allah. He is alone and there is no partner with Him. Sovereignty belongs to Him and to Him is praise due and He is Potent over everything. O Allah! no one can withhold what Thou givest, or give what Thou withholdest, and riches cannot avail a wealthy person with Thee."

Abu Zubair reported: Ibn Zubair uttered at the end of every prayer after pronouncing salutation (these words): "There is no god but Allah. He is alone. There is no partner with Him. Sovereignty belongs to Him and He is Potent over everything. There is no might or power except with Allah. There is no god but Allah and we do not worship but Him alone. To Him belong all bounties, to Him belongs all Grace, and to Him is worthy praise accorded. There is no god but Allah, to Whom we are sincere in devotion, even though the unbelievers should disapprove it." (The narrator said): He (the Holy Prophet) uttered it at the end of every (obligatory) prayer.
