QUESTION:

” سبحان ربك رب العزة عما يصفون وسلام على المرسلين والحمد لله رب العالمين
Is it part of sunnah to end one discussion with the above adhkar as it is popular here in Africa?”

ANSWER:

Alhamdulillāh

No, this is not Sunnah as it is not Authentically reported from the Rasūl – salallāhu ‘alayhi wasallam.

As for the Hadīth recorded by Imām Ibn Abī Hātim in At-Tafsīr from Yūnus Ibn Abī Is’hāq from Ash-Sha’abī as a Mursal that the Rasūl – salallāhu ‘alayhi wasallam – said:

مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَكْتَالَ بِالْمِكْيَالِ الْأَوْفَى مِنَ الْأَجْرِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ، فَلْيَقُلْ آخِرَ مَجْلِسِهِ حِينَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَقُومَ : سُبْحَانَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ الْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ ، وَسَلامٌ عَلَى الْمُرْسَلِينَ ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

“Whomsoever delights that he should earn a very full measure of reward on the Day of Qiyāmah, then let him say at the end when he intends to rise from his Sitting: Subhāna Rabbika Rabbil ‘Izzati ‘Ammā Yasifūn Wa Salāmun ‘Alā Al-Mursalīn Wa Alhamdulillāh Rabbi Al-‘Ālamīn”

Shaykh Muhammad Nāsiruddīn Al-Albānī rahimahullāh declared it very weak in As-Silsilatu Ad-Da’īfah

And Allāh knows best

Bārakallāhu Fīkum
Jazakumullāhu Khayran
