Zād al-Maʿād - Ibn al-Qayyim - (1/341)

this (1) situation is more consistent with the principles and objectives of Islamic law than the view that it is disliked. And Allah knows best.

What the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say after finishing prayer, his sitting afterward, how promptly he would turn away (2) upon its completion, and the remembrances and recitation he prescribed for his community afterward

After giving the salām, he would ask forgiveness three times and say: “O Allah, You are Peace, and from You comes peace. Blessed are You, Possessor of Majesty and Honor” (3).

He would remain facing the qiblah only long enough to say this, then promptly turn to face the congregation.

He would turn to his right and to his left. Ibn Mas‘ūd said: “I often saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) turn to his left.” Anas said: “Most often, I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) turn to his right.” The first report is in the two Sahīh collections (4), and the second is in Muslim (5). ‘Abd Allāh ibn ‘Amr (6) said: “I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) turn to his right and to his left at the end of prayer” (7).

(1) j: “hādhihi (this).” (2) mb: “al-intiqāl (movement),” as also in the Maymaniyya edition and subsequent editions. (3) Recorded by Muslim from ‘Ā’isha (592) and Thawbān (591). (4) Recorded by al-Bukhārī (852) and Muslim (707). (5) No. 708. (6) All copies except s, j, mb, and n read “‘Umar,” which is an error. (7) Recorded by Ahmad (6679, 6928, 7021) and Ibn Mājah (931) through authentic chains of transmission from ‘Amr ibn Shu‘ayb, from his father, from his grandfather. The hadith is authentic. See also Musnad Ahmad (6627).

هذا (١) الحال أقرب إلى أصول الشرع ومقاصده من القول بالكراهة. والله أعلم. فصل فيما كان رسول الله ﷺ يقوله بعد انصرافه من الصلاة، وجلوسه بعدها، وسرعة انفتاله (٢) منها، وما شرعه لأمته من الأذكار والقراءة بعدها كان إذا سلَّم استغفر ثلاثًا، وقال: «اللهم أنت السلام، ومنك السلام، تباركت يا ذا الجلال والإكرام» (٣). ولم يمكث مستقبل القبلة إلا مقدار ما يقول ذلك، بل يسرع الانفتال إلى المأمومين. وكان ينفتل عن يمينه وعن يساره. قال ابن مسعود: رأيت رسول الله ﷺ كثيرًا ينصرف عن يساره. وقال أنس: أكثر ما رأيت رسول الله ﷺ ينصرف عن يمينه. والأول في «الصحيحين» (٤)، والثاني في مسلم (٥). وقال عبد الله بن عمرو (٦): رأيت رسول الله ﷺ ينفتل عن يمينه وعن يساره في الصلاة (٧).
