Thawban Narrated from:
Allah'S Messenger Said: "When Allah'S Messenger Wanted To Turn From His Salat, He Would Seek Forgiveness From Allah Three Times, Then Say: (Allahumma Antas-Salam, Wa Minkas-Salam, Tabarakta Ya Dhal-Jalali Wal-Ikram) 'O Allah! You Are The One Free Of Defects And Perfection Is From You. Blessed Are You, O Possessor Of Majesty And Honor.'"

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 300
This Hadith about seeking forgiveness after Salah comes from Thawban, the freed slave of Allah's Messenger. He narrated that when the Prophet wanted to turn away from his prayer, he would seek Allah's forgiveness three times. Then he would say: "Allahumma Antas-Salam, wa minkas-Salam, tabarakta ya dhal-jalali wal-ikram." The message is clear and practical. After completing prayer, the Prophet began with istighfar, then praised Allah as the source of peace and perfection. This teaches humility after worship. Even after Salah, the worshipper asks Allah for forgiveness and remembers Him with words of honor and praise.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Prophet sought forgiveness three times after prayer.
- After istighfar, he praised Allah with Allahumma Antas-Salam.
- A worshipper should remain humble even after completing Salah.
