أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ، عَنْ أَسْبَاطٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ قَيْسٍ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مُعَقِّبَاتٌ لاَ يَخِيبُ قَائِلُهُنَّ يُسَبِّحُ اللَّهَ فِي دُبُرِ كُلِّ صَلاَةٍ ثَلاَثًا وَثَلاَثِينَ وَيَحْمَدُهُ ثَلاَثًا وَثَلاَثِينَ وَيُكَبِّرُهُ أَرْبَعًا وَثَلاَثِينَ " .

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 1349

The one who says them will not be deprived of the reward, as the wording of the Hadith states. The formula is to glorify Allah thirty-three times, praise Him thirty-three times, and magnify Him thirty-four times after each prayer. This dhikr after salah is short, clear, and easy to repeat. It teaches that prayer should be followed by words that honor Allah. It also gives a simple routine for the tongue after worship, so the heart remains connected after the prayer ends.
