وَحَدَّثَنَاهُ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ، عَنْ وَرَّادٍ، مَوْلَى الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم . مِثْلَهُ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ فِي رِوَايَتِهِمَا قَالَ فَأَمْلاَهَا عَلَىَّ الْمُغِيرَةُ وَكَتَبْتُ بِهَا إِلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ .

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 593b
This narration reports a Hadith like the previous one from Mughira b. Shu’ba through another chain. It also mentions that Mughira dictated it and it was written to Mu’awiya. The teaching linked to this report is the dhikr after salah that begins with La ilaha illallah and continues by praising Allah’s sovereignty, praise, and power. It also includes the meaning that no one can withhold what Allah gives and no one can give what Allah withholds. For people searching for Allahumma la mani'a lima a'tayt or dhikr after prayer hadith, this report supports the same after-salah remembrance. The Hadith keeps the heart attached to Allah, not to wealth or human control.
What we learn from this hadith
- The same after-prayer dhikr is reported through another chain.
- The report shows care in writing and passing on prophetic words.
- Allah’s giving and withholding are remembered after prayer.
- A believer should not depend on wealth before Allah.
