Abu Zubair Narrated from:
Ibn Zubair uttered at the end of every prayer after pronouncing salutation (these words):" There is no god but Allah. He is alone. There is no partner with Him. Sovereignty belongs to Him and He is Potent over everything. There is no might or power except with Allah.There is no god but Allah and we do not worship but Him alone. To Him belong all bounties, to Him belongs all Grace, and to Him is worthy praise accorded. There is no god but Allah, to Whom we are sincere in devotion, even though the unbelievers should disapprove it." (The narrator said): He (the Holy Prophet) uttered it at the end of every (obligatory) prayer.

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 594a
This Hadith reports the words Abdullah b. Zubair used to say at the end of every prayer after salam. The dhikr begins with La ilaha illallah, affirming that Allah is alone with no partner, and that sovereignty and praise belong to Him. It also includes: there is no might or power except with Allah. The words continue with worshipping Allah alone, recognizing His bounties, His grace, and His worthy praise, and being sincere in devotion to Him even if unbelievers dislike it.
