The Dua Recommended by Our Prophet (ﷺ) to be recited after every prayer…

Rasulullah -sallallahu alayhi wa sallam-, one day holding the hand of Mu’az -may Allah be pleased with him- said:

“–O Mu’az! I swear by Allah, I truly love you.” Mu’az -may Allah be pleased with him- replied:

“–May my mother and father be sacrificed for you, O Messenger of Allah! I love you too!”

THE PRAYER RECOMMENDED BY OUR PROPHET ﷺ AFTER EVERY PRAYER

Then the Prophet -sallallahu alayhi wa sallam- said to him:

“–O Mu’az! I advise you not to cease making this supplication at the end of every prayer:

«O Allah! Grant me assistance in remembering You,

in giving thanks to You, and

in worshipping You properly!» (Ahmed, V, 244-245; Abu Dawud, Witir, 26; Nasa’i, Sehwa, 60; Tirmidhi, Zuhd, 30)

What a beautiful manifestation of love! The Messenger of Allah loves his brother in faith and gives advice that will benefit his believing brother as a sign of this affection.
