2 minutes after each prayertime it takesWhen the fard prayer ends, the Prophet ﷺ did not rush away. He sought forgiveness, praised Allah and made du'a. This chart gathers the adhkar he taught for after Salah: Astaghfirullah three times, "Allahumma antas-salam", Ayat al-Kursi, SubhanAllah, Alhamdulillah and Allahu Akbar 33 times each, and the du'as that complete them. Each line has the Arabic, an easy transliteration, the meaning in English and the hadith it comes from.

After Fajr, Asr and the other prayers
After Fajr and Asr there is no sunnah prayer straight after the fard, so the whole list can be read while still sitting. In the Hanafi school, after Dhuhr, Maghrib and Isha it is best to say "Allahumma antas-salam…", pray the sunnah, and then read the rest.
How to use it
Print the chart and put it where you pray, at home or at the masjid. Read it from top to bottom after each fard prayer until you know it by heart. Count the 33s on your fingers or a tasbih.
