Warrad Narrated from:
Mughira b. Shu'ba wrote to Mu'awiya (it was Warrad who wrote this letter for him, i. e. Mughira): I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying:" When the salutation is pronounced." and the rest of the hadith is the same except this that he made no mention of:" He is Potent over everything."

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 593c
This Hadith is reported by Warrad, the freed slave of Mughira b. Shu’ba. It says that Mughira wrote to Mu’awiya, and Warrad wrote the letter for him. Mughira said he heard the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) saying these words when he gave salam. The narration is like the other reports, except it notes that the phrase “He is Potent over everything” was not mentioned in this version. This is useful for readers searching for Sahih Muslim 593c or the wording of dhikr after salah. The core teaching remains tawhid after prayer: Allah alone is worshipped, Allah gives and withholds, and worldly riches do not avail a person before Him.
What we learn from this hadith
- This report records the after-salam dhikr through Warrad.
- The narration carefully notes a wording difference.
- The dhikr centers on Allah’s oneness and control.
- Wealth does not replace a person’s need for Allah.
