حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرٌو ، أَنَّ أَبَا مَعْبَدٍ مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَخْبَرَهُ ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَخْبَرَهُ ، " أَنَّ رَفْعَ الصَّوْتِ بِالذِّكْرِ حِينَ يَنْصَرِفُ النَّاسُ مِنَ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ كَانَ عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " .
Narrated Abu Ma`bad: (the freed slave of Ibn `Abbas) Ibn `Abbas told me, "In the lifetime of the Prophet it was the custom to celebrate Allah's praises aloud after the compulsory congregational prayers." Ibn `Abbas further said, "When I heard the Dhikr, I would learn that the compulsory congregational prayer had ended."

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.

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.
