Remembrance after the salām

66

أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ، اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ السَّلَامُ، وَمِنْكَ السَّلَامُ، تَبَارَكْتَ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَالْإِكْرَامِ

Astaghfirullah, Allahumma antas-salam, waminkas-salam, tabarakta ya dhal-jalali wal-ikram

I seek Allah's forgiveness. O Allah, You are as-Salām (Peace), and from You is peace. Blessed are You, O Possessor of majesty and honour.

In the hadith, the Prophet ﷺ sought forgiveness three times, then said the rest.

لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، اللَّهُمَّ لَا مَانِعَ لِمَا أَعْطَيْتَ، وَلَا مُعْطِيَ لِمَا مَنَعْتَ، وَلَا يَنْفَعُ ذَا الْجَدِّ مِنْكَ الْجَدُّ

La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul-mulku walahul-hamdu wahuwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadir, Allahumma la mani'a lima a'tayta, wala mu'tiya lima mana'ta, wala yanfa'u dhal-jaddi minkal-jadd

There is no deity except Allah alone, without partner; His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He has power over all things. O Allah, none can withhold what You give, and none can give what You withhold, and the fortune of the fortunate avails him nothing against You.

There is no deity except Allah alone, without partner; His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He has power over all things. There is no might nor power except by Allah. There is no deity except Allah, and we worship none but Him. His is the blessing, His is the bounty, and His is the beautiful praise. There is no deity except Allah; to Him we devote our religion sincerely, even though the disbelievers dislike it.

Allah — there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of all. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is there that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is before them and what is behind them, and they encompass nothing of His knowledge except what He wills. His Kursī extends over the heavens and the earth, and preserving them does not weary Him. And He is the Most High, the Most Great. (255)
