What is the ruling on chanting the tasbihat after prayer in the company of the muazzin?
There were Companions who were famous for their duty as muazzin in the period of Prophet Muhammad (saw). Bilal Habashi, Abdallah ibn Umm Maktum, Sa’d al-Qarazi, and Abu Mahzura (Samura ibn Mi’yar) are some of them (Ibn Majah, Adhan, 1-3, 6; Nasa’i, Adhan, 9-10). They would recite adhan in order to announce the start of prayer time and give iqamat before fardh prayers.
There is no information about muazzins’ leading the tasbihat after prayers in Asr al-Sa’adah. But, it is seen that this practice has been settled in time in some regions including Türkiye. Guiding those who do not know or ensuring that the congregation does not neglect tasbihatby making dhikr of Allah and making dua collectively are permissible in religious terms; so it cannot be said that the practicee of today’s muazzins is a bid’ah.
