What is the prophetic guidance regarding condolences, Eid greetings, and supplications for the one who has prayed or performed ablution, in contrast to common sayings such as "taqabbal Allah" (may Allah accept) after prayer, "kull 'am wa antum bi-khayr" (may you be well every year) on Eid, "’azzam Allah ajrakum" (may Allah magnify your reward) in condolences, and "zamzam" after ablution?
The Prophet's guidance (peace be upon him) regarding condolences was for the one offering condolences to say: "Indeed, to Allah belongs what He took and to Him belongs what He gave, and everything with Him is for a specified term," and to reassure the bereaved by saying: "May Allah reward you." And for Eid greetings, the Companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him) used to say: "May Allah accept from us and from you." It was not from his guidance (peace be upon him) to supplicate for his Companions after prayer or after ablution with phrases such as "" or "Zamzam"; for the best guidance is the guidance of Muhammad (peace be upon him), and every innovation is misguidance and rejected upon its originator.
