2. Before saying Salām in a prayer
According to the hadith reported by Abu Umamah r.a,

قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَىُّ الدُّعَاءِ أَسْمَعُ قَالَ ‏"‏ جَوْفُ اللَّيْلِ الآخِرُ وَدُبُرَ الصَّلَوَاتِ الْمَكْتُوبَاتِ

It was said, “O Messenger of Allah, which Dua is heard?” He said, “In the last third of the night, and following every prescribed prayer.”
(Sunan At-Tirmizi)

In interpreting dabr al-salawāt al-maktūbah (following the prescribed prayers) some scholars are of the view that it is before the Salām. Ibn Taymiyah said, “The word dabr refers to something that is part of a thing, like dabr al-hayawān (the hindquarters of an animal).”
