The Importance of Reciting Tahlil After Prayer

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of reciting the tahlil (declaration of faith) after every prayer.

It was narrated that Abu Az-Zubair said: "Abdullah bin Az-Zubair used to recite the tahlil following every prayer, saying: 'La Ilaha Illallah wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul-mulk wa lahul-hamd wa huwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadir, la hawla wala quwwata illa billahil-'azim; la ilaha ill-Allahu wa la nabbed illa iyyah, ahlan-ni'mati wal-fadli wath-thana'il-has an; la ilaha ill-Allah, mukhlisina lahud-dina wa law karihal-kafirun (There is none worthy of worship except Allah (SWT) alone, with no partner or associate. His is the Dominion, to Him be all praise, and He is able to do all things; there is no power and no strength except with Allah (SWT) the Almighty. There is none worthy of worship except Allah (SWT), and we worship none but Him, the source of blessing and kindness and the One Who is deserving of all good praise. There is none worthy of worship except Allah (SWT), and we are sincere in faith and devotion to Him even though the disbelievers detest it. ) Then Ibn Az-Zubair said: 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to recite the tahlil in this manner following every prayer'."
أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، قَالَ كَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ يُهَلِّلُ فِي دُبُرِ الصَّلاَةِ يَقُولُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَلاَ نَعْبُدُ إِلاَّ إِيَّاهُ لَهُ النِّعْمَةُ وَلَهُ الْفَضْلُ وَلَهُ الثَّنَاءُ الْحَسَنُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكَافِرُونَ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ ابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُهَلِّلُ بِهِنَّ فِي دُبُرِ الصَّلاَةِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Recite a declaration of faith following every prayer

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the importance of reciting a declaration of faith, known as tahlil, after every prayer. The tahlil is a statement that affirms one's belief in Allah and His Oneness. It states that there is no god but Allah and He has no partner or associate; He has dominion over all things; He alone has power and strength; we worship only Him; He is the source of blessing, kindness, and good praise; we are sincere in our faith even if others reject it. According to this hadith, Prophet Muhammad used to recite this declaration following each prayer. This shows us how important it was for him to reaffirm his faith in Allah after each prayer session. It also serves as an example for us on how we should follow suit by reciting the tahlil after our prayers as well.
