The freed slave of the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ), Sayyiduna Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him), narrates that when the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) intended to conclude the prayer with salam, he would seek forgiveness three times, then recite these words: «‏‏‏‏اللّهُـمَّ أَنْـتَ السَّلامُ وَمِـنْكَ السَّلام تَبارَكْتَ يا ذا الجَـلالِ وَالإِكْـرام» ‏‏‏‏ "O Allah, You are Peace, and from You comes peace. Blessed are You, O Possessor of Majesty and Honor." Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that even though Amr bin Hashim or Muhammad bin Maymun did not err in narrating the wording of reciting this supplication before salam, this chapter will be referred to as reciting supplication before salam.
