Allahumma anta as-salām wa minka as-salām, tabārakta yadha al-jalāl wa al-ikrām

Explanation

When the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) finished his prayer, he would say: I seek forgiveness from Allah, I seek forgiveness from Allah, I seek forgiveness from Allah. Then, he would glorify his Lord, saying: "O Allah, You are As-Salām (peace, perfection), and as-salām comes from You. Blessed are You, O Possessor of Glory and Honor." Indeed, Allah is complete and perfect in His attributes and far exalted above any imperfection or defect. From Him alone, and not from others, we should ask for safety from the evils of this world and the Hereafter. He, Exalted be He, gives abundant blessings in both abodes, and He is the Possessor of greatness and benevolence.

Benefits

• It is recommended to ask for Allah's forgiveness after prayer and to do this persistently.
• Asking for Allah's forgiveness is recommended to redress any shortcomings in worship and compensate for any deficiency therein.
