Are the supplications (adhkar) mentioned in books like "Hisn al-Muslim" the only ones, or are there other authentic supplications, such as the prayer upon leaving the restroom: "Ghufranak (I seek Your forgiveness)" and "Al-hamdu lillah alladhi adhhaba anni al-adha wa afani (Praise be to Allah who has removed the harm from me and given me health)"?
The wordings of the Prophetic remembrances (adhkar) varied and have been reported in the books of Hadith and Sunnah, such as: Sahih al-Bukhari (Book of Supplications), Sahih Muslim (Book of Greetings and Book of Dhikr and Supplication), Sunan al-Tirmidhi (Book of Supplications), and Sunan Abu Dawud (Book of Etiquette). Additionally, specific works have been dedicated to them, such as: Al-Adhkar by An-Nawawi, Adhkar al-Yawm wa al-Laylah by Ibn al-Sunni, Al-Wabil al-Sayyib by Ibn al-Qayyim, Al-Kalim al-Tayyib by Ibn Taymiyyah, and 'Amal al-Yawm wa al-Laylah by An-Nasa'i.
