Is it permissible to say the Tasbih after prayer by saying "Subhan Allah, Walhamdulillah, Wala Ilaha Illallah, Wallahu Akbar" all at once 33 times, or must each phrase be said 33 times individually?
Among the dhikr (remembrance of Allah) that is authentically reported after the prayer are tasbih (Subhan Allah - Glory be to Allah), tahmid (Alhamdulillah - Praise be to Allah), and takbir (Allahu Akbar - Allah is the Greatest) thirty-three times each. The completion of one hundred is achieved by reciting tahlil (La ilaha illallah wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu wa huwa ala kulli shayin qadir - There is no god but Allah alone, without any partner. To Him belongs all sovereignty and all praise, and He is over all things competent). It is permissible to combine these dhikr and then repeat them thirty-three times, or to recite each of them individually thirty-three times. However, repeating the tahlil thirty-three times after the obligatory prayer has not been established as one of the authentically reported dhikr after the prayer.
