Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 594e
This narration says that Abu Zubair al-Makki heard Abdullah b. Zubair saying the same words at the end of the prayer after salam. It also states that he mentioned this from the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم). The related wording includes La ilaha illallah, Allah’s sovereignty, His praise, His power, and sincere devotion to Him. The core topic is dhikr after salah, especially tahlil after prayer. This Hadith is useful for people searching for the Sunnah words after fard prayer or La ilaha illallah after salah. The narration does not bring a new message separate from the earlier reports. It supports the same practice: finishing prayer with remembrance that centers the heart on Allah alone.
What we learn from this hadith
- The narration links the after-prayer words to the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم).
- The dhikr is said after salam at the end of prayer.
- Tawhid and sincere devotion are central in the wording.
- The report supports regular remembrance after salah.
