حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ . ح وحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ ، قال : حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ ، قال : حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنِي شَدَّادٌ أَبُو عَمَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو أَسْمَاءَ الرَّحَبِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنِي ثَوْبَانُ ، أَن رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ : " إِذَا انْصَرَفَ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ اسْتَغْفَرَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ : اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ السَّلَامُ وَمِنْكَ السَّلَامُ ، تَبَارَكْتَ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَالْإِكْرَامِ " .
´Thawban narrated that when he finished his prayer, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) would ask for forgiveness three times, then he would say:` “Allahumma Antas-Salam wa minkas-salam tabarakta ya Dhal-jalali wal- ikram” (O Allah, You are As-Salam and from You is all peace, Blessed are You O Possessor of majesty and honour).”

Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
1338. Commentary:

➊ It is recommended (mustahabb) to seek forgiveness (istighfar) after concluding the prayer with salam.

➋ From this blessed hadith, the perfect humility and expression of servitude of the Noble Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) before his Lord is established, despite the fact that Allah, the Exalted, had forgiven all his slips.

➌ A servant should not think that he is perfect in obedience; rather, he should consider that there is deficiency in his obedience, that he has not fulfilled the right of worship. He should continue striving to make up for this shortcoming through seeking forgiveness (istighfar).

➍ “Blessed are You” means that there is no deficiency with You; there is only abundance upon abundance. Or, wherever Your mention occurs, there is blessing.
