Topic: Easy Thikr for Children (&Adults!) After Salaat

  as-Salaamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullaah...

Let us post some easy phrases of thikr for after the salaat, especially for children who are learning to pray.

1 - Saying: Subhaan Allaah (10x), al-Hamdulillaah (10x), Allaahu akbar (10x) after the prayer.

سُبْحَانَ اللهِ - الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ - اللهُ أَكْبَرُ


Something very easy that few people do that would wipe away 2500 sins a day (combined with one other act)!

On the authority of 'Abdullaah ibn 'Amr ibn al-'Aas (may Allaah be pleased with him and his father), the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) said:

"There are two traits that no Muslim servant guards over except that he will enter Paradise (by way of them) - Nay, they are so easy, yet those who do them are few - :

- (1) Glorifying Allaah (saying "Subhaan Allaah") after each prayer ten times, praising Him (saying "al-Hamdulillaah") ten times, and declaring His Greatness (saying "Allaahu akbar") ten times - that is 150 on the tongue and 1500 in the Scale -

- (2) Declaring Allaah's Greatness (saying "Allaahu akbar") 34 times when laying down, praising Him (saying "al-Hamdulillaah") 33 times, and glorifying Him (saying "subhaan Allaah") 33 times - that is 100 on the tongue and 1000 in the Scale -

And which one of you does 2500 bad deeds in one day?!"


Collected by Ahmad, the four compilers of the Sunan, and others.

Al-Albaanee called it "saheeh" in Saheeh al-Jaami' (#3230).

More to follow in shaa' Allaah...

  2 - Saying "Astaghfirullaah" (3x), and "Allaahumma antas-Salaamu wa minkas-Salaamu tabaarakta thal-Jalaali wal-Ikraam"

أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ

اللهُمَّ أَنْتَ السَّلاَمُ وَمِنْكَ السَّلاَمُ تَبَارَكْتَ ذَا الْجَلاَلِ وَالإِكْرَامِ


On the authority of Thowbaan (may Allaah be pleased with him): The Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) used to seek Allaah's Forgiveness (saying "Astaghfirullaah") three times when finishing his prayer, and then he would say:

"Allaahumma antas-Salaamu wa minkas-Salaamu tabaarakta thal-Jalaali wal-Ikraam" ("O Allaah you are as-Salaam - the One who grants peace - and from You alone is peace, blessed be You, O Possessor of Majesty and Grace!")

It was collected by Muslim in his Saheeh (#591).

  3 - "Allaahumma a'in-nee 'alaa thikrika wa shukrika wa husni 'ebaadatika"

اللهُمَّ أَعِنِّي عَلَى ذِكْرِكَ وَشُكْرِكَ وَحُسْنِ عِبَادَتِكَ


Mu'aath ibn Jabal (may Allaah be pleased with him) said:  One day, the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) took my hand and said:

"O Mu'aath!  Verily I love you!"

Mu'aath replied, "(I would ransom) my father for you, and my mother, O Messenger of Allaah!  And I love you!"

The Messenger of Allaah then said:

"I advise you - O Mu'aath - not to leave off saying after each prayer: Allaahumma a'in-nee 'alaa thikrika wa shukrika wa husni 'ebaadatika ("O Allaah!  Help me to remember you, thank you, and worship you in a good way!")"

It was collected by Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, al-Haakim and others.  It was authenticated by al-Haakim in al-Mustadrak (1012), and also by al-Albaanee in Saheeh Sunan Abee Daawood (1362).

This hadeeth is just beautiful!

From the most important benefits of it: that true love for the sake of Allaah (may Allaah bless us with it) causes those who love each other to advise each other with things that please Allaah.

  More than one person has asked me about the thikr said 10 times after the prayer: What about 33 times?  Is that wrong?

The answer: Not at all.  There are many different ways to make thikr after prayer.  Saying them 33 times (Allaahu akbar 34) is an authentically established Sunnah, collected by both al-Bukhaaree and Muslim.

So they are both Sunnah.  However, the point of this thread is to highlight some of the easiest phrases for children when they first learn to pray.  I suggested this one instead of the 33 times, because its easier and some children at age 7 may have difficulty in counting to 33.

And Allaah knows best.

  Barakallahu feek Abul Abbass.

Additionally here are some others which are easy for the child and adult.

    
1.     Subhanallah (11X) Al-Hamduillah (11X) Allahu Akbar (11X) [ Refer to Saheeh Muslim 1376]


2.     Subhanallah (25X) Al-Hamduillah (25X) Allahu Akbar (25X) La illaha il allah (25X ) [Refer to Sunan An-Nisaý 1358 ] Shaykh Nasir graded this hadeeth as being authentic.

  Jazaak Allaahu khayran Abaa Aaliyah

I think the hadeeth in Saheeh Muslim (#595 according M. Fu'aad's #s) needs a second look akhee.  It seems that the mention of 11 times is Suhayl ibn Abee Saalih's understanding of the hadeeth he narrates: "Subhaan Allaah, al-Hamdulillaah, and Allaahu akbar 33 times".  While the other narrations support that this means 33 times for each of the three, Suhayl understood 33 times altogether, meaning 11+11+11=33.

Ibn Hajr mentions that Suhayl was alone in this understanding of the hadeeth, and the only possible support that could be found for it is in the the Musnad of al-Bazzaar, in a weak hadeeth attributed to Ibn 'Umar. (That deserves a follow-up.)

Ibn Hajr concludes: "It is more apparent that the meaning is each of them get that (33x) seperately."  Check it out in Fat-hul-Baaree (bottom of 2/328 of the Salafiyyah printing)

And Allaah knows best.
