  • al-Ahadith al-Warida al-Muqayyada bi-Adbar al-Salawat fi Kutub al-Sunna Jam'an wa Dirasatan is a specialized hadith study that gathers, authenticates, and examines prophetic narrations concerning invocations and remembrances textually conditioned by the phrase "at the end of prayers" (dubur al-salat or adbar al-salawat). The treatise aims to clarify the precise meanings of this terminology and distinguish sound traditions from defective ones regarding supplications and remembrances uttered around the conclusion of prayer.
