AN ABANDONED SUNNAH AFTER RECITING THE QUR’AAN

Aaishah - may Allaah be pleased with her - mentioned that:

The Messenger of Allaah (sal-Allaahu `alayhi wasallam) was never in a sitting, NEVER RECITED THE QUR’AAN, nor did he ever offer a prayer, except that he ended them all with certain words.

She added:

''So I said to him, “O Messenger of Allaah, I noticed that you never are in a sitting, NOR DO YOU EVER RECITE THE QUR’AAN, nor observe a Salaat, except that you end off with these words''.

He replied by saying, ''Yes''.

''Whoever has said good (words) would have them placed as a seal over the good he has done and whoever has said evil (words) would have them used as an expiation for the evil that he uttered, “

(They are):

‎سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ، أشهد أن لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ، أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ

[Subhaanakallaahumma wabihamdik ash-hadu an laa ilaaha illaa anta astaghfiruka wa atuubu ilayk]

(Glory is to You, O Allah, and praise is to You. I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but You. I seek Your forgiveness and repent to You)
