Dua after every prayer

اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ السَّلَامُ وَمِنْكَ السَّلَامُ تَبَارَكْتَ ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَالْإِكْرَامِ

O’ Allah, You are the Peace, and You are the Source of Peace, You are Blessed, Oh Possessor of Glory and Honor

لا إلهَ إلاّ اللّهُ وحدَهُ لا شريكَ لهُ، لهُ المُـلْكُ ولهُ الحَمْد، وهوَ على كلّ شَيءٍ قَدير، اللّهُـمَّ لا مانِعَ لِما أَعْطَـيْت، وَلا مُعْطِـيَ لِما مَنَـعْت، وَلا يَنْفَـعُ ذا الجَـدِّ مِنْـكَ الجَـد

Hazrat Imam Mohammed Baqir (a.s.) says.

“Whoever recites the following Dua thrice after finishing the prayer and without having moved, Allah will pardon all his sins even if these be as many as the foams of the sea.”

اَسْتَغْفَرُوْ ا اللهَ الَّذِيْ لَا اَلٰهَ اِلاَّ هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّوْمُ ذُوْ الْجَلَالِ وَ الْاِكْرَامِ وَ اَتُوْبُ اِلَيْهِ.
