A hadith like this has been transmitted by A'raj on the authority of Abu Hurairah (RA) .

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported that the Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) use (to seek refuge from the torment of the grave, torment of Hell and the trial of Dajjal.

Ibn 'Abbas reported that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) (may peace he upon him) used to teach them this supplication (in the same spirit) with which he used to teach them a surah of the Qur'an. He would thus instruct us:" Say, O Allah I we seek refuge with Thee from the torment of Hell, and I seek refuge with Thee from the torment of the grave, and I seek refuge with Thee from the trial of Masih al-Dajjal. and I seek refuge with Thee from the trial of life and death." Muslim bin Hajjaj said: It has reached me that Tawus said to his son: Did you make this supplication in prayer? He said: No. (Upon this) he (Tawus) said: Repeat the prayer. Tawus has narrated this hadith through three or four (transmitters) with words to the same effect.

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."
