Hadith 21

(The book) ‘Al Ilal’ – from Ali Bin Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Hamza Bin Al Qasim Al Alawy, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Malik Al Fazary, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn Bin Zayd, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Al Mufazzal Bin Umar who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘For which reason does the praying one exclaim Takbeer thrice raising his hands with it? ’
He-asws said: ‘Because when the Prophet-saww conquered Makkah, he-saww prayed Salat Al Zohr with his companions at the Black Stone. When he-saww performed Salaam, he-saww raised his-saww hands and exclaimed thrice and said: ‘There is no god except Allah-azwj Alone, Alone, Alone! He-azwj Fulfils His-azwj Promise, and Helps His-azwj servants, and Strengthens His-azwj soldiers, and Overcomes the confederates Alone. For Him-azwj is the Kingdom, and for Him-azwj the Praise. He-azwj Causes to live and Causes to die, and He-azwj is Able upon all things! ’
Then he-saww faced towards his-saww companions. He-saww said: ‘Do not leave this Takbeer, and this word in the end of every Prescribed (obligatory) Salat, for the one who does that after the Salaam and says this word, he would have fulfilled what had been obligated upon him of thanking Allah-azwj, Exalted is His-azwj Mention, upon strengthening of Al Islam and its soldiers’’.
