´Thawban, the freed slave of Allah's Messenger, narrated that :` Allah's Messenger said: "When Allah's Messenger wanted to turn from his Salat, he would seek forgiveness from Allah three times, then say: (Allahumma Antas-Salam, wa minkas-salam, tabarakta ya dhal-jalali wal-Ikram) 'O Allah! You are the One free of defects and perfection is from You. Blessed are You, O Possesor of Majesty and Honor.'"

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.
