حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ بَيَانٍ الْوَاسِطِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ الْمَذْحِجِيِّ، - قَالَ مُسْلِمٌ أَبُو عُبَيْدٍ مَوْلَى سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ - عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ اللَّيْثِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَنْ سَبَّحَ اللَّهَ فِي دُبُرِ كُلِّ صَلاَةٍ ثَلاَثًا وَثَلاَثِينَ وَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ ثَلاَثًا وَثَلاَثِينَ وَكَبَّرَ اللَّهَ ثَلاَثًا وَثَلاَثِينَ فَتِلْكَ تِسْعَةٌ وَتِسْعُونَ وَقَالَ تَمَامَ الْمِائَةِ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ غُفِرَتْ خَطَايَاهُ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ مِثْلَ زَبَدِ الْبَحْرِ " .
Abu Hurairah Narrated from:
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: If anyone extols Allah after every prayer thirty-three times, and praises Allah thirty-three times, and declares His Greatness thirty-three times, ninety-nine times in all, and says to complete a hundred:" There is no god but Allah, having no partner with Him, to Him belongs sovereignty and to Him is praise due, and He is Potent over everything," his sins will be forgiven even If these are as abundant as the foam of the sea.

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 597a
This Hadith gives a complete form of dhikr after salah 100 times in total. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم says to glorify Allah thirty-three times, praise Allah thirty-three times, and declare His greatness thirty-three times. That makes ninety-nine. Then the worshipper completes one hundred with the words of tawhid: there is no god but Allah alone, with no partner; His is the sovereignty, His is the praise, and He has power over everything. The Hadith then states that sins will be forgiven even if they are like the foam of the sea. The main message is simple: after prayer, a believer turns to Allah with praise, greatness, and pure oneness.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Hadith gives a complete count: thirty-three tasbih, thirty-three tahmid, thirty-three takbir, then one tahlil.
- The final phrase affirms Allah's oneness, His sovereignty, His praise, and His power.
- This post-prayer dhikr is linked in the text with forgiveness of sins.
- The wording should be kept as the Hadith states, without adding unrelated conditions.
