About evening duas

Evening adhkar mirror the morning set: phrases of praise, seeking refuge, and asking for a safe night, reported from the Prophet ﷺ for the close of the day.

They are commonly recited after the Asr prayer or at any point as the day ends and the evening begins. As with the morning adhkar, the precise timing is treated flexibly.
