258 – Thawbān (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: “Whenever the Messenger of Allah ﷺ concluded his prayer, he would ask Allah’s forgiveness three times and then say: ‘O Allah, You are Peace and from You comes peace. Blessed are You, O Possessor of majesty and honor.’” Related by Muslim (1).

Glossary of the ḥadīth
• “Allāhumma anta al-salām” – You are the One who is utterly free from change and affliction, free from every imperfection and from anything that conflicts with Your perfection; or, You are the One who grants safety to whomsoever You will.
• “Wa minka al-salām” – From You peace is sought and hoped for; its origin is with You, O Lord.
• Al-salām – The verb salima yaslamu salāman means “to be safe, unharmed.” Salām is the noun derived from salima (“to be sound”); it is also the greeting of Islam, a prayer that others be kept safe from harms in their religion, intellect, and self.
• Al-jalāl – From jalla yajillu jalālan: to be great in worth and rank, the opposite of being small or insignificant; hence jalīl (majestic) and jalāl (majesty). Jalāl denotes the utmost magnitude of greatness and honor.
• “Yā dhal-jalāli wal-ikrām” – Some scholars interpret jalāl as the attributes of majesty, meaning that He is exalted above deficiency, flaw, and resemblance to created beings; whereas ikrām refers to the affirmative attributes of perfection, standing opposite to the former.
