The answer

After the salām, the worshipper begins by seeking forgiveness three times, then says: "O Allah, You are As-Salām (the Source of Peace), and from You is all peace. Blessed are You, O Possessor of Majesty and Honor." Then, he recites the rest of the prescribed remembrances. As for the Takbīr mentioned in the of Ibn Abbas, "I used to know that the Messenger of Allah's prayer had ended by the Takbīr," what is meant by it is the saying of "Subḥānallāh (Glory be to Allah), Alḥamdulillāh (Praise be to Allah), and Allāhu Akbar (Allah is the Greatest)" thirty-three times, which is encompassed by the term dhikr (remembrance). Takbīr immediately after the salām is contrary to the prophetic guidance.
