What should I recite after salah?

Assalamu alaikum! Can you guide me on the authentic supplications to say after the prayer, strictly following the Sunnah? Also, please let me know about any common mistakes or innovations to avoid.

Some folks add 'subhanallahi wa bihamdihi, subhanallahil azeem' a hundred times. That’s a great dhikr but not specifically after salah in sunnah. Do it anytime, but don't mix it with the prescribed post-salah routine.

Wa alaikum assalam! First do istighfar 3 times, then Ayat al-Kursi, then the 3 Quls after every fard. And say SubhanAllah 33, Alhamdulillah 33, Allahu Akbar 34. Don’t add extra stuff that’s not from Sunnah.

Yeah, the adhkar after salah are a treasure. But don’t rush them like you’re in a race. Sit calmly, reflect. And remember, saying 'Allahumma ajirni minan naar' 7 times after Fajr and Maghrib protects from Hellfire. True sunnah.

Bro, a big mistake I see is people making collective loud dhikr after salah, like in unison. The sunnah is to do it individually and silently. Also, avoid that raising hands dua thing right after fard - it’s not established.

السلام عليكم akhi, great question. I’d add that reciting 'Laa ilaaha illallah wahdahu laa shareeka lah...' 10 times after Maghrib and Fajr has immense reward, as per sahih hadith. Try to make it a habit.

A small innovation: some people shake hands after fard and say 'taqabbalallah'. It’s not part of the sunnah to do it routinely after every salah. Only do it occasionally or when meeting a brother. Just follow the adhkar, bro.

Yea man, stick to the masnoon adhkar. A common bida’h I saw back home is kissing the thumbs when the adhan finishes and then touching the eyes. No basis. Keep it simple, the Prophet’s way is enough.

Brother, stay away from the 'dua khatm' or group dua thing right after every salah in masjid. Imam does it, people say ameen loudly. That’s not from the salaf. Make your own private dua after the adhkar.
