According to the authentic narration mentioned in al-Kafi, the statements are:
اَللّٰهُ اَكْبَرُ اَللّٰهُ اَكْبَرُ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا اللّٰهُ وَاللّٰهُ اَكْبَرُ اَللّٰهُ اَكْبَرُ وَلِلّٰهِ الْحَمْدُ وَاللّٰهُ اَكْبَرُ عَلٰى مَا هَدَانَا اَللّٰهُ اَكْبَرُ عَلٰى مَا رَزَقَنَا مِنْ بَهِيْمَةِ الْاَنْعَامِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ عَلٰى مَاۤ اَبْلَانَا.
ALLAAHO AKBAR ALLAAHO AKBAR LAA ELAAHA ILLAL LAAHO WAL LAAHO AKBAR ALLAAHO AKBAR WA LILLAAHIL HAMD WAL LAAHO AKBAR A’LAA MAA HADAANAA ALLAAHO AKBAR A’LAA MAA RAZAQANAA MIM BAHEEMATIL AN-A’AME WAL HAMDO LILLAAHE A’LAA MAA ABLAANAA.
Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, there is no god but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest. Allah is the Greatest, and for Allah is all praise. Allah is the Greatest for what He has guided us to; Allah is the Greatest for what He has provided for us of grazing livestock; and all praise is for Allah for what He has tested us with [and bestowed upon us].
It is recommended to repeat these statements immediately after the obligatory and supererogatory (mustahab / naafelah) prayers as many times as possible.
