SHAFAQNA –
The most mentioned follow ups after each Wajeb Salaat are outlined below.
- Reciting Salawaat (praise and greetings of Allah (SWT) for the Prophet (PBUH) and his Ahlul Bait (AS)).
- It is narrated from the Prophet (PBUH) who told Imam Ali (AS): Ya Ali, recite Ayatul Korsi (Ayahs 255-257 of Surah Al-Baqarah is the complete version) after each Wajeb Salaat because all prophets, the most pious and martyrs recite it [1].
- In other narrations reciting Surah Al-Ikhlaas for 3 times has been emphasized as this is considered equal to reciting the whole Quran.
- In many Shia sources, Tasbeehaat Hazrat Fatima (AS) (Allahu Akbar- 34 times; Alhamdulellah- 33 times; Sobhanallah-33 times) has been mentioned. Imam Sadeq (AS) said: For me, Tasbeeh Hazrat Fatima Zahra (AS) every day after each Salaat is better that 1000 Ruk’at of Salaat [2]. Imam Baqer (AS) said: God has not been praised more in any other prayers except Tasbeehaat Hazrat Zahra (AS). If there was any better one, Prophet would have granted to Hazrat Zahra (AS) [3].
