وَحَدَّثَنِي يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّوْرَقِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَجَّاجُ بْنُ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ، يَخْطُبُ عَلَى هَذَا الْمِنْبَرِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ إِذَا سَلَّمَ فِي دُبُرِ الصَّلاَةِ أَوِ الصَّلَوَاتِ . فَذَكَرَ بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ .

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 594c
This Hadith reports Abu Zubair saying that he heard Abdullah b. Zubair addressing people on the pulpit. He said that when the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) pronounced salutation at the end of the prayer or prayers, he would say the words mentioned in the narration of Hisham b. Urwa. The core topic is tahlil and dhikr after salah. This report is helpful because it shows the same after-prayer remembrance being taught openly. It is closely linked to searches like La ilaha illallah after salah, tahlil after prayer, and dhikr after obligatory prayer. The Hadith keeps the focus on what is directly reported: after salam, the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said words of tawhid and praise.
What we learn from this hadith
- The after-prayer dhikr was mentioned publicly by Abdullah b. Zubair.
- The report connects the dhikr to the Prophet’s practice after salam.
- Tahlil after salah is the central theme of the narration.
- The Hadith supports remembering Allah after prayer.
