252. Dua After Salam

The Prophet (ﷺ) used to say this dua after every compulsory prayer:

لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيْكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، اَللَّهُمَّ لَا مَانِعَ لِمَا أَعْطَيْتَ، وَلَا مُعْطِىَ لِمَا مَنَعْتَ، وَلَا يَنْفَعُ ذَا الْجَدِّ مِنْكَ الْجَدُّ

Dua After Salam English Translation

None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, alone, without partner, to Him belongs all sovereignty and praise and and He is Able to do all things.

Hadith about the Dua

Arabic Text

عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى، قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا فَرَغَ مِنَ الصَّلاَةِ قَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ اللَّهُمَّ لاَ مَانِعَ لِمَا أَعْطَيْتَ، وَلاَ مُعْطِيَ لِمَا مَنَعْتَ، وَلاَ يَنْفَعُ ذَا الْجَدِّ مِنْكَ الْجَدُّ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Abu Musa reported: When the Prophet (ﷺ) had finished his prayer, he would say: “None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, alone, without partner. To Him belongs the dominion and to Him belongs all praise, and He is over all things capable. O Allah, there is none who can withhold what You give, and none may give what You have withheld, and the fortune of the fortunate avails nothing against You.”
