Is it permissible to combine the two forms of remembrance after prayer, so that one says: "Subhan Allah 33 times, Al-Hamdulillah 33 times, Allahu Akbar 34 times, and 'La ilaha illa Allah wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu wa huwa ala kulli shayin qadeer'"? And will the one who does so attain the reward of the Sunnah?

A Muslim is permitted to say after the obligatory prayer: "Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah)" 33 times, "Al-hamdulillah (Praise be to Allah)" 33 times, and "Allahu Akbar (Allah is the Greatest)" 34 times, completing the hundred with "La ilaha illa Allah wahdahu la sharika lah, lahu al-mulk wa lahu al-hamd wa huwa ala kulli shayin qadir (There is no god but Allah, alone without partner; to Him belongs all sovereignty and praise, and He is over all things competent)." Or one may conclude one time with an extra takbir (saying "Allahu Akbar") and another time with "La ilaha illa Allah," combining the narrations established in the authentic hadiths.
