Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 583c
This hadith about loud dhikr after obligatory prayer is one of the clearest reports in this group. Ibn Abbas stated that raising the voice with dhikr when people finished the prescribed prayer was a practice during the lifetime of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم). He also said that when he heard it, he knew that the people had finished prayer. The hadith focuses on remembrance after the obligatory prayer and the sound of that remembrance. It does not list every phrase of dhikr, so the explanation should not add a list that is not in the text. The main teaching is that audible dhikr was known at that time, and it served as a sign that the prayer had ended.
What we learn from this hadith
- Loud dhikr after obligatory prayer is mentioned in the report.
- Ibn Abbas knew the prayer had ended when he heard the dhikr.
- The practice is described as existing during the Prophet’s lifetime.
- The narration focuses on remembrance after the prescribed prayer.
