256 – Al-Mughirah ibn Shuʿbah (may Allah be pleased with him) related that the Prophet ﷺ used to say, at the end of every prescribed prayer:

“There is no deity but Allah alone, without partner. His is the dominion and His is all praise, and He is capable of everything. O Allah, none can withhold what You give, none can give what You withhold, and the fortune of the fortunate is of no avail against You.” Agreed upon (1).

Vocabulary of the ḥadith
• dabr: with ḍammah on both the dāl and the bā, though the bā may also be read with sukūn. It is the opposite of qabl; qabl is the front of a thing, while dabr is its rear or end.
• “written” prayer (ṣalāh maktūbah): i.e. an obligatory prayer. One version in al-Bukhārī reads, “He would say it after every prayer,” and an unqualified text is interpreted in light of the qualified.
• “la ilāha illa Allāh” (There is no deity except Allah): lā is the particle of absolute negation; ilāh is its subject, while the predicate is omitted, understood as “truly worthy of worship.” The divine name Allah then appears in apposition. By unanimous consensus this is the phrase of monotheism, combining negation and affirmation: “la ilāha” negates divinity for anything else, and “illa Allāh” affirms it exclusively for Allah Most High.
• “waḥdahu” (alone): in the accusative as a circumstantial qualifier, meaning “He alone, uniquely so,” since a circumstantial accusative must be indefinite.
• “la sharīka lahu” (He has no partner): this can reinforce “waḥdahu,” underscoring His unique oneness, or it can further emphasize the negation of any partner. Thus the phrase of sincerity holds both affirmation and negation.
• “lahuʾl-mulk” (His is the dominion): with ḍammah on the mīm, making the expression all-encompassing and attributing absolute sovereignty to Him, Glorified and Exalted.
