Hadith 1003

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُوسَى الْبَلْخِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ ، أَنَّ أَبَا مَعْبَدٍ مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَخْبَرَهُ ،أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ أَخْبَرَهُ ، أَنّ " رَفْعَ الصَّوْتِ لِلذِّكْرِ حِينَ يَنْصَرِفُ النَّاسُ مِنَ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ ، كَانَ ذَلِكَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " ، وَأَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ أَعْلَمُ إِذَا انْصَرَفُوا بِذَلِكَ وَأَسْمَعُهُ .
Ibn Abbas said: To raise the voice for making the mention of Allah after the people had finished their obligatory prayer was for in vogue the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Ibn Abbas said: I used to know by it when they finished the prayer and would listen to it (making the mention of Allah).

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
1003. Commentary:
After the salam, saying «الله اكبر» and «استغرالله» three times, as well as some other phrases—especially in a raised voice—is an established Sunnah. It is not correct to interpret this as something to be done only occasionally or merely for the purpose of teaching. However, it is necessary that the raising of the voice should not be to such an extent that it causes disturbance or confusion for others.

Hadith Commentary:

And Ibn Abbas said:
I used to know when they had finished (the prayer) by hearing that (remembrance). Ibn Abbas (radi Allahu anhu) said that by hearing the remembrance (dhikr), I would understand that the people had completed their prayer.

Shaykh Abdul Sattar al-Hammad
Hadith Commentary:
In the hadith, the virtue of remembrance (dhikr) after the prayer is transmitted, but what is meant by this remembrance? In the present era, the collective and loud chanting of "Allah" after the prayer, as is commonly practiced, is absolutely an un-Islamic act. Rather, what is meant here is saying "Allahu Akbar," as will be clarified in the following hadith.
