[Machine] And I placed my left hand on my left thigh and I placed my right hand on my right thigh, and I extended my index finger. Khalaf ibn Imaa ibn Rahdah Al-Ghifaari saw me doing that and he had companionship with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . When I finished my prayer, he said to me, "Why did you raise your finger like that?" So I said to him, "I saw the people doing that." He said, "Indeed, you have done right, for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to do that. And the polytheists used to say that Muhammad does magic with his finger, and they lied. Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to do that to glorify and exalt His Lord."  

وَوَضَعْتُ يَدِي الْيُسْرَى عَلَى فَخِذِي الْيُسْرَى وَوَضَعْتُ يَدِي الْيُمْنَى عَلَى فَخِذِي الْيُمْنَى وَنَصَبْتُ أُصْبُعِي السَّبَابَةَ قَالَ فَرَآنِي خُفَافُ بْنُ إِيمَاءِ بْنِ رَحَضَةَ الْغِفَارِيُّ وَكَانَتْ لَهُ صُحْبَةٌ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا أَصْنَعُ ذَلِكَ قَالَ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفْتُ مِنْ صَلَاتِي قَالَ لِي لِمَ نَصَبْتَ إِصْبَعِكَ هَكَذَا؟ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ رَأَيْتُ النَّاسَ يَصْنَعُونَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ فَإِنَّكَ قَدْ أَصَبْتَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى يَصْنَعُ ذَلِكَ وَكَانَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّمَا يَصْنَعُ هَذَا مُحَمَّدٌ بِأُصْبُعِهِ لِيَسْحَرَ وَكَذَبُوا إِنَّمَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَصْنَعُ ذَلِكَ؛ لِمَا يُوَحِّدُ بِهَا رَبَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى  

[Machine] About Sufyan, so he mentioned them.  

عَنْ سُفْيَانَ فَذَكَرَهُنَّ  

[Machine] "That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'This is how sincerity is pointed to,' and he pointed with his middle finger, which is next to the thumb. And this is the supplication,' and he raised his hands, level with his shoulders. And this is the pleading, and he raised his hands further up."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ هَكَذَا الْإِخْلَاصُ يُشِيرُ بِأُصْبُعِهِ الَّتِي تَلِي الْإِبْهَامَ وَهَذَا الدُّعَاءُ فَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَذْوَ مَنْكِبَيْهِ وَهَذَا الِابْتِهَالُ فَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ مَدًّا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , mentioned in a narration about the prayer of the Prophet, ﷺ , that she said:

"So he used to say the greeting between every two units of prayer, as mentioned in the book of Muslim from the narration of Husayn ibn Dakhwan al-Mu'alim, except that he said, and he used to say the greeting in every two units of prayer."  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ فِي صَلَاةِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتْ فَكَانَ يَقُولُ بَيْنَ كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ تَحِيَّةً مُخَرَّجٌ فِي كِتَابِ مُسْلِمٍ مِنْ حَدِيثِ حُسَيْنِ بْنِ ذَكْوَانَ الْمُعَلِّمِ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ وَكَانَ يَقُولُ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ التَّحِيَّةَ  

When you get up to pray, say the takbir, exalting Allah; then recite the Qur’an as much as it is convenient for you. The version adds: When you sit in the middle of the prayer, do it completely(so that you are at rest) and spread your left thigh; then recite the tashahhud. Then if you get up (again), do in a similar way until you finish your prayer. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 860)   

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ حَدِيثَ الصَّلَاةِ وَقَالَ فِيهِ فَإِذَا أَنْتَ قُمْتَ فِي صَلَاتِكَ فَكَبِّرِ اللهَ ثُمَّ اقْرَأْ مَا تَيَسَّرَ عَلَيْكَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ وَقَالَ فِيهِ فَإِذَا جَلَسْتَ فِي وَسَطِ الصَّلَاةِ فَاطْمَئِنَّ وَافْتَرِشْ فَخِذَكَ الْيُسْرَى ثُمَّ تَشَهَّدْ ثُمَّ إِذَا قُمْتَ فَمِثْلُ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى تَفْرُغَ مِنْ صَلَاتِكَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to be as if he was sitting on a small stool in the first two cycles of prayer. I (narrator) asked: until he stood up? He replied: until he stood up 2800. Abu Zakariyya and Abu Bakr informed us, they said: Abu al-Abbas narrated to us, who was informed by al-Rabi' and he was informed by al-Shafi'i, who was informed by Ibrahim ibn Sa'd ibn Ibrahim, and he mentioned it in its meaning, and so it goes.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا كَانَ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ كَأَنَّمَا يَكُونُ عَلَى الرَّضْفِ قَالَ قُلْتُ حَتَّى يَقُومَ؟ قَالَ حَتَّى يَقُومَ 2800 أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ قَالَا ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ أنبأ الرَّبِيعُ أنبأ الشَّافِعِيُّ أنبأ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فَذَكَرَهُ بِمَعْنَاهُ وَكَذَلِكَ  

(he was from the tribe of Uzd Shanu'a [??] and was the ally of the tribe of ʿAbdul-Manaf and was one of the companions of the Prophet): Once the Prophet ﷺ led us in the Zuhr prayer and stood up after the second rakʿa and did not sit down. The people stood up with him. When the prayer was about to end and the people were waiting for him to say the Taslim, he said Takbir while sitting and prostrated twice before saying the Taslim and then he said the Taslim." (Using translation from Bukhārī 829)   

أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ ابْنَ بُحَيْنَةَ بْنِ أَزِدْ شَنُوءَةَ وَهُوَ حَلِيفٌ لِبَنِي عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ مَنَافٍ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَّى بِهِمْ صَلَاةَ الظُّهْرِ فَقَامَ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ فَلَمْ يَجْلِسْ وَقَامَ النَّاسُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى إِذَا قَضَى الصَّلَاةَ وَانْتَظَرَ النَّاسُ تَسْلِيمَهُ كَبَّرَ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ فَسَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسَلِّمَ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ stood up for the two units of prayer and did not sit in between, then he performed the two prostrations of forgetfulness, which were narrated by Yahya ibn Sa'id al-Ansari.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَامَ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ فَلَمْ يَجْلِسْ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيِ السَّهْوِ أَخْرَجَاهُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ  

[Machine] "He heard Abu Huraira say: 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ, when he stood up to pray, would mention the Hadith. Then He would say Allahu Akbar when he would rise from the Tashahhud after sitting.'"  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا قَامَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ ثُمَّ يُكَبِّرُ حِينَ يَقُومُ مِنَ الثِّنْتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْجُلُوسِ  

[Machine] About Yahya bin Yahya...  

عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ يَحْيَى  

"Malik bin Al-Huwairith used to come to us and say: "Shall I not tell you about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" He was praying at a time other than the time of prayer, and when he raised his head from the second prostration in the first rak'ah, he settled in a seated position, then he stood up, and he supported himself on the ground (while doing so)." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1153)   

عَنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَيُصَلِّي فِي غَيْرِ وَقْتِ الصَّلَاةِ فَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ السَّجْدَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ فِي أَوَّلِ رَكْعَةٍ اسْتَوَى قَاعِدًا وَاعْتَمَدَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ  

[Machine] He used to rely on his hands when he stood up, and likewise Al-Hassan and more than one of the followers used to do.  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَعْتَمِدُ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ إِذَا نَهَضَ وَكَذَلِكَ كَانَ يَفْعَلُ الْحَسَنُ وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ مِنَ التَّابِعِينَ  

[Machine] Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade a man from relying on his hands during prayer. Abu 'Ali al-Rudhbary informed us, Abu Bakr bin Dasa narrated to us, Abu Dawud narrated to us, Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Shabbawayh, and Muhammad bin Rāfiʿ, and Muhammad bin ʿAbd al-Malik al-Ghazzāl said: Abdur-Razzaq narrated it from Maʿmar and mentioned it in a similar way. He said in the wording of the hadith of Ibn Shabbawayh: The man is forbidden to rely on his hands during prayer. Ibn Rāfiʿ said: A man is forbidden to pray while relying on his hands. Ibn ʿAbd al-Malik said: A man is forbidden to rely on his hands when he rises during prayer. This hadith is disputed in its text according to Abdur-Razzaq. And indeed  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَهَى أَنْ يَعْتَمِدَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى يَدِهِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ 2808 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ شَبَّوَيْهِ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ الْغَزَّالُ قَالُوا ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ فَذَكَرَهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ نَحْوَهُ وَقَالَ فِي لَفْظِ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ شَبَّوَيْهِ نَهَى أَنْ يَعْتَمِدَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى يَدِهِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ وَقَالَ ابْنُ رَافِعٍ نَهَى أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ الرَّجُلُ وَهُوَ مُعْتَمِدٌ عَلَى يَدِهِ وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ نَهَى أَنْ يَعْتَمِدَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ إِذَا نَهَضَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ قَدِ اخْتُلِفَ فِي مَتْنِهِ عَلَى عَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ وَقَدْ  

[Machine] "And in the text of the hadith, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said that when a man sits in prayer, he should lean on his left hand. This is the wording of the hadith from Abdullah bin Ahmad. In another narration from Abu Dawood, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade a man from sitting in prayer while leaning on his hand. These are the most clear narrations, and the narration of Ibn Abdul Malik does not contradict them, even if it is clearer than them. And the narration of Ibn Abdul Malik is doubtful, and what indicates that the narration of Ahmad bin Hanbal is intended in this hadith is that Hisham bin Yusuf narrates it."  

وَقَالَ فِي مَتْنِ الْحَدِيثِ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا جَلَسَ الرَّجُلُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ أَنْ يَعْتَمِدَ عَلَى يَدِهِ الْيُسْرَى هَذَا لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي دَاوُدَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَجْلِسَ الرَّجُلُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ وَهُوَ مُعْتَمِدٌ عَلَى يَدِهِ وَهَذَا أَبَيْنُ الرِّوَايَاتِ وَرِوَايَةُ غَيْرِ ابْنِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ لَا تُخَالِفُهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ أَبْيَنَ مِنْهَا وَرِوَايَةُ ابْنِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ وَهْمٌ وَالَّذِي يَدُلُّ عَلَى أَنَّ رِوَايَةَ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ هِيَ الْمُرَادُ بِالْحَدِيثِ أَنَّ هِشَامَ بْنَ يُوسُفَ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ forbade a man who was sitting with his left hand supporting him in prayer, and he said: "This is the prayer of the Jews."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَهَى رَجُلًا وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ مُعْتَمِدًا عَلَى يَدِهِ الْيُسْرَى فِي الصَّلَاةِ وَقَالَ إِنَّهَا صَلَاةُ الْيَهُودِ  

[Machine] Abdullah saw a man praying while sitting on his knees, leaning on his left hand. He said, "Do not pray like this, as only those who are being punished sit like this."  

رَأَى عَبْدُ اللهِ رَجُلًا يُصَلِّي سَاقِطًا عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ مُتَّكِئًا عَلَى يَدِهِ الْيُسْرَى فَقَالَ لَا تُصَلِّ هَكَذَا إِنَّمَا يَجْلِسُ هَكَذَا الَّذِينَ يُعَذَّبُونَ  

[Machine] Indeed, it is from the Sunnah in the prescribed prayer that when a person stands for the first two units of prayer, he should not lean on the ground with his hands unless he is an elderly person who is unable to do so, like Abu Shuayb, who is Abdul-Rahman ibn Ishaq al-Wasiti al-Qurashi.  

إِنَّ مِنَ السُّنَّةِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ إِذَا نَهَضَ الرَّجُلُ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ أَنْ لَا يَعْتَمِدَ بِيَدَيْهِ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ شَيْخًا كَبِيرًا لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَبُو شَيْبَةَ هَذَا هُوَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْوَاسِطِيُّ الْقُرَشِيُّ  

[Machine] To stand up after sitting in the two units of prayer.  

أَنْ تَقُومَ بَعْدَ الْقُعُودِ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ  

[Machine] Allah hears whomever praises Him. He raises his hands when he stands up from the two rak'ahs, and Ibn 'Umar raised his hands and related this to the Prophet ﷺ.  

سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ وَإِذَا قَامَ مِنَ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ وَرَفَعَ ذَلِكَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ  

[Machine] I heard Abu Humaid say that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, when he stood up for prayer, would face the qiblah and raise his hands until they were level with his shoulders. He would then say "Allahu Akbar". When he went into ruku', he would say "Allahu Akbar" while he was going into ruku' and raise his hands. He would then straighten his back, without making it stiff or flexing it too much. He would then raise his head and say "Sami Allahu liman hamidah". He would then raise his hands until they were level with his shoulders, and he would straighten himself until all his limbs were in the correct position. He would then do the same in the second raka'ah, until he stood up from the two raka'at and said "Allahu Akbar" and raised his hands as he had done at the beginning of the prayer. When it came time for the prostration, he would raise his head and sit cross-legged.  

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا حُمَيْدٍ يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا قَامَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ اسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى يُحَاذِيَ بِهِمَا مَنْكِبَيْهِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ وَإِذَا رَكَعَ كَبَّرَ حِينَ يَرْكَعُ وَيَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ عَدَلَ صُلْبَهُ فَلَمْ يُصَوِّبْهُ وَلَمْ يُقَنِّعْهُ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَالَ سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى يُحَاذِيَ بِهِمَا مَنْكِبَيْهِ ثُمَّ اعْتَدَلَ حَتَّى جَاءَ كُلُّ عُضْوٍ إِلَى مَوْضِعِهِ مُعْتَدِلًا ثُمَّ يَفْعَلُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُخْرَى مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى إِذَا قَامَ مِنَ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ كَبَّرَ وَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ كَمَا صَنَعَ فِي ابْتِدَاءِ الصَّلَاةِ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَتِ السَّجْدَةُ الَّتِي تَكُونُ حِلَّةَ الصَّلَاةِ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فِيهَا وَقَعَدَ مُتَوَرِّكًا  

[Machine] "I heard Abu Humaid Al-Sa'idi mention ten companions of the Prophet ﷺ , among them Abu Qatadah Al-Harith bin Rabee. Abu Humaid said, 'I know the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ,' and then he mentioned the narration in which the Prophet ﷺ raised his hands until they were level with his shoulders when he stood up for prayer, when bowing, and when raising his head from bowing. He said, 'Then when he stood up from the two prostrations, he would say the takbeer and raise his hands until they were level with his shoulders, just as he did when saying the takbeer at the beginning of the prayer. Then he would do the same in the rest of his prayer.' This narration was also reported from Ali ibn Abi Talib from the Prophet ﷺ ."  

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا حُمَيْدٍ السَّاعِدِيَّ فِي عَشَرَةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِيهِمْ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ رِبْعِيٍّ فَقَالَ أَبُو حُمَيْدٍ أَنَا أَعْلَمُكُمْ بِصَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ وَذَكَرَ فِيهِ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى يُحَاذِيَ بِهِمَا مَنْكِبَيْهِ إِذَا قَامَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ وَعِنْدَ الرُّكُوعِ وَعِنْدَ رَفْعِ الرَّأْسِ مِنْهُ قَالَ ثُمَّ إِذَا قَامَ مِنَ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ كَبَّرَ وَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى يُحَاذِيَ بِهِمَا مَنْكِبَيْهِ كَمَا فَعَلَ إِذَا كَبَّرَ عِنْدَ افْتِتَاحِ الصَّلَاةِ ثُمَّ صَنَعَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فِي بَقِيَّةِ صَلَاتِهِ وَرُوِيَ ذَلِكَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ؓ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ  

It was narrated from ‘Ali bin Abi Talib ؓ that when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up to offer the prescribed prayer, he would say Allahu Akbar and raise his hands to shoulder height; he did the same when he finished reciting and wanted to bow, and he did it when he raised his head from bowing. He did not raise his hands when sitting in any part of his prayer, but when he stood up following the two prostrations, he raised his hands in the same manner and said Allahu Akbar. (Using translation from Aḥmad 717)   

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا قَامَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ كَبَّرَ وَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَذْوَ مَنْكِبَيْهِ وَيَصْنَعُهُ إِذَا قَضَى قِرَاءَتَهُ وَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ وَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ فَعَلَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ وَلَا يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ وَهُوَ قَاعِدٌ وَإِذَا قَامَ مِنَ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ كَبَّرَ وَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ كَذَلِكَ  

when we (prayed and) sat up during prayer along the Messenger of Allah (may peach be upon him), we said: “Peace be to Allah before it is supplicated for His servants; peace be to so and so. “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Do not say “Peace be to Allah ,”for Allah Himself is peace. When one of you sits(during the prayer), he should say: The adoration of the tongue are due to Allah, and acts of worship and all good things. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and Allah’s mercy and His blessings. Peace be upon us and upon Allah’s upright servants. When you say that, it reaches every upright servant in heavens and earth or between heavens and earth. I testify that there is no god but Allah, and I testify that Muhammad is His servant and apostle. Then he may choose any supplication which pleases him and offer it. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 968)   

قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ ؓ كُنَّا إِذَا صَلَّيْنَا خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قُلْنَا السَّلَامُ عَلَى اللهِ دُونَ عِبَادِهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى جَبْرَائِيلَ وَمِيكَائِيلَ وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَى فُلَانٍ وَفُلَانٍ فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ هُوَ السَّلَامُ إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَقُلْ التَّحِيَّاتُ لِلَّهِ وَالصَّلَوَاتُ وَالطَّيِّبَاتُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللهِ الصَّالِحِينَ فَإِنَّكُمْ إِذَا قُلْتُمُوهَا أَصَابَتْ كُلَّ عَبْدٍ صَالِحٍ لِلَّهِ فِي السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ  

We used to pray behind the Prophet ﷺ and used to say: "As-Salamu 'Al-Allah. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allah himself is As-Salam (Name of Allah), so you should say: 'at-Tahiyatu lil-lahi was-sala-watu wattaiyibatu, as-salamu ʿalaika aiyyuha-n-nabiyyu wa rahmatu-l-lahi wa barakatuhu, as-salamu ʿalaina wa ʿala ʿibadi-l-lahi as-salihin. Ashhadu an la ilaha il-lallah, wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan ʿabduhu wa rasuluhu."' (Using translation from Bukhārī 7381)   

أَنْ يُفْرَضَ التَّشَهُّدُ السَّلَامُ عَلَى اللهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى جَبْرَائِيلَ وَمِيكَائِيلَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا تَقُولُوا هَكَذَا فَإِنَّ اللهَ هُوَ السَّلَامُ وَلَكِنْ قُولُوا التَّحِيَّاتُ لِلَّهِ وَالصَّلَوَاتُ وَالطَّيِّبَاتُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللهِ الصَّالِحِينَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ هَذَا إِسْنَادٌ صَحِيحٌ  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ taught me the Tashah-hud as he taught me a Sura from the Qur'an, while my hand was between his hands. (Tashah-hud was) all the best compliments and the prayers and the good things are for Allah. Peace and Allah's Mercy and Blessings be on you, O Prophet! Peace be on us and on the pious slaves of Allah, I testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and I also testify that Muhammad is Allah's slave and His Apostle. (We used to recite this in the prayer) during the lifetime of the Prophet ﷺ , but when he had died, we used to say, "Peace be on the Prophet." (Using translation from Bukhārī 6265)   

سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ يَقُولُ عَلَّمَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ التَّشَهُّدَ كَفِّي بَيْنَ كَفَّيْهِ كَمَا يُعَلِّمُنِي السُّورَةَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ التَّحِيَّاتُ لِلَّهِ وَالصَّلَوَاتُ وَالطَّيِّبَاتُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللهِ الصَّالِحِينَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَهُوَ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَانَيْهِمْ فَلَمَّا قُبِضَ قُلْنَا السَّلَامُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ  

[Machine] "From the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , regarding the Tashahhud: the greetings are for Allah, and the prayers and good deeds. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy of Allah. Ibn Umar said: 'I added to it: peace be upon us and upon the righteous servants of Allah. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah.' Ibn Umar said: 'I added to it alone, with no partner. And I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger.' This is a narration of Abu Dawud, reported by Ibn Abi Adiyah from Shu'bah, except that he attributed it to the life of the Prophet, ﷺ . He said: 'We used to say it during his lifetime, but when he died, we said: peace be upon the Prophet and the mercy of Allah.' And Muhammad ibn Isma'il al-Bukhari said that the narration of Saif from Mujahid, from Abu Ma'mar, from Abdullah ibn Mas'ood, is preserved without the narration of Abu Bishr. And Allah knows best. It is also narrated from Abdullah ibn Babyy, from Ibn Umar, from the Prophet, ﷺ , with similar wording, except that he ended his statement with 'for Allah' and added to the original."

Note: The translation of the passage may not be an exact word-for-word translation, but it captures the content and meaning of the original Arabic text.  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي التَّشَهُّدِ التَّحِيَّاتُ لِلَّهِ وَالصَّلَوَاتُ وَالطَّيِّبَاتُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ قَالَ قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ زِدْتُ فِيهَا وَبَرَكَاتُهُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللهِ الصَّالِحِينَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ زِدْتُ فِيهَا وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ أَبِي دَاوُدَ وَرَوَاهُ ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ فَوَقَفَهُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ رَدَّهُ إِلَى حَيَاةِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ كُنَّا نَقُولُهَا فِي حَيَاتِهِ فَلَمَّا مَاتَ قُلْنَا السَّلَامُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَكَانَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْبُخَارِيُّ يَرَى رِوَايَةَ سَيْفٍ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي مَعْمَرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ هِيَ الْمَحْفُوظَةَ دُونَ رِوَايَةِ أَبِي بِشْرٍ وَاللهُ تَعَالَى أَعْلَمُ وَرُوِيَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بَابِي عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ عَنْهُ كَذَا إِلَّا أَنَّهُ أَخَّرَ قَوْلَهُ لِلَّهِ وَزَادَ فِي الْأَصْلِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ وَرُوِيَ عَنْ زَيْدٍ الْعَمِّيِّ عَنْ أَبِي الصِّدِّيقِ النَّاجِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ مُخْتَصَرًا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When the Imam sits in the last Rak'ah of his prayer, then speaks before saying the Tashahhud, his prayer is invalidated, and this is a weak narration reported by Al-Qa'nabi from Al-Ifrigi."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا قَعَدَ الْإِمَامُ فِي آخِرِ رَكْعَةٍ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ ثُمَّ أَحْدَثَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَتَشَهَّدَ فَقَدْ تَمَّتْ صَلَاتُهُ فَهُوَ حَدِيثٌ ضَعِيفٌ وَرَوَاهُ الْقَعْنَبِيُّ عَنِ الْإِفْرِيقِيِّ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "If a person raises his head from prostration at the end of his prayer and speaks before saying the salaam, then his prayer is valid. And like this."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا رَفَعَ الرَّجُلُ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ السُّجُودِ فِي آخِرِ صَلَاتِهِ ثُمَّ أَحْدَثَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسَلِّمَ فَقَدْ جَازَتْ صَلَاتُهُ وَهَكَذَا  

[Machine] From Ali, he said: When one sits the duration of the tashahhud and then speaks, their prayer is completed and it is not valid. And Aasim ibn Damrah has no valid proof for it.  

عَنْ عَلِيٍّ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ إِذَا جَلَسَ مِقْدَارَ التَّشَهُّدِ ثُمَّ أَحْدَثَ فَقَدْ تَمَّتْ صَلَاتُهُ لَا يَصِحُّ وَعَاصِمُ بْنُ ضَمْرَةَ غَيْرُ مُحْتَجٍّ بِهِ  

[Machine] It is not correct.  

لَا يَصِحُّ  

[Machine] He said, "The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , used to teach us the Tashahhud as he used to teach us the Quran. He used to say, 'The blessed greetings, the righteous prayers, and the purest salutations are for Allah. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. Peace be upon us and upon the righteous servants of Allah. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.' The wording of their statement is the same."  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُعَلِّمُنَا التَّشَهُّدَ كَمَا يُعَلِّمُنَا الْقُرْآنَ وَكَانَ يَقُولُ التَّحِيَّاتُ الْمُبَارَكَاتُ الصَّلَوَاتُ الطَّيِّبَاتُ لِلَّهِ سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ سَلَامٌ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللهِ الصَّالِحِينَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِهِمَا سَوَاءٌ  

[Machine] Abu Musa, O Hittan, perhaps you were the one who said it, I said, "By Allah, I did not say it," and indeed, I feared that you would strike me because of it. Then a man stood up and said, "I am the one who said it, and I only intended good with it." Abu Musa said, "Do you not know how to pray? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ addressed us and taught us our prayer and explained our Sunnah. He said, 'When you pray, straighten your rows, and when he (the imam) says Allahu Akbar, say Allahu Akbar, and when he says other than the Maghboune 'alayhim (the disgraced ones) and the Dalleen (the astray ones), say Ameen, which Allah will answer. And when he says Allahu Akbar and bows, say Allahu Akbar and bow, for indeed, the imam says Allahu Akbar before you and raises before you.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'So it is with that, and when he says, "Sami'a Allahu liman hamidah" (Allah hears whoever praises Him), say, "Rabbana lakal hamd" (Our Lord, to You is the praise). And when it is at the sitting position, let him say the first thing he talks with, "At-tahiyyatu at-tayyibatu az-zakiyyatu lillahi, as-salamu 'alayka ayyuhan-nabiyyu wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu. As-salamu 'alayna wa 'ala 'ibadillahis-salihin. Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan 'abduhu wa rasuluh" (All greetings, pure words, good acts are for Allah. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. Peace be upon us and upon the righteous slaves of Allah. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger)."  

أَبُو مُوسَى يَا حِطَّانُ لَعَلَّكَ قَائِلُهَا قُلْتُ وَاللهِ مَا قُلْتُهَا وَلَقَدْ خَشِيتُ أَنْ تَبْكَعَنِي بِهَا فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ أَنَا قَائِلُهَا وَمَا أَرَدْتُ بِهَا إِلَّا الْخَيْرَ فَقَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى أَمَا تَدْرُونَ كَيْفَ تُصَلُّونَ؟ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ خَطَبَنَا فَعَلَّمَنَا صَلَاتَنَا وَبَيَّنَ لَنَا سُنَّتَنَا فَقَالَ إِذَا صَلَّيْتُمْ فَأَقِيمُوا صُفُوفَكُمْ فَإِذَا كَبَّرَ فَكَبِّرُوا وَإِذَا قَالَ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ فَقُولُوا آمِينَ يُجِبْكُمُ اللهُ وَإِذَا كَبَّرَ وَرَكَعَ فَكَبِّرُوا وَارْكَعُوا فَإِنَّ الْإِمَامَ يُكَبِّرُ قَبْلَكُمْ وَيَرْفَعُ قَبْلَكُمْ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَتِلْكَ بِتِلْكَ وَإِذَا قَالَ سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ فَقُولُوا رَبَّنَا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ فَإِذَا كَانَ عِنْدَ الْقُعُودِ فَلْيَقُلْ أَوَّلَ مَا يَتَكَلَّمُ بِهِ التَّحِيَّاتُ الطَّيِّبَاتُ الزَّاكِيَّاتُ لِلَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللهِ الصَّالِحِينَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ  

Hittan ibn Abdullah ar-Ruqashi said: AbuMusa al-Ash'ari led us in prayer. When he sat at the end of his prayer, one of the people said: Prayer has been established by virtue and purity. When AbuMusa returned (from his prayer or finished his prayer), he gave his attention to the people, and said: Which of you is the speaker of such and such words? The people remained silent. Which of you is the speaker of such and such words? The people remained silent. He said: You might have said them, Hittan. He replied: I did not say them. I was afraid you might punish me. One of the people said: I said them and I did not intend by them (anything) except good. AbuMusa said: Do you not know how you utter (them) in your prayer? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ addressed us, and taught us and explained to us our way of doing and taught us our prayer. He said: When you pray a (congregational) prayer, straighten your rows, then one of you should lead you in prayer. When he says the takbir (Allah is Most Great), say the takbir, and when he recites verses "Not of those upon whom is Thy anger, nor of those who err" (i.e. the end of Surah i.), say Amin; Allah will favour you. When he says "Allah is most great," and bows, say "Allah is most great" and bow, for the imam will bow before you, and will raise (his head) before you. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: This is for that. When he says "Allah listens to the one who praises Him," say: "O Allah, our Lord, to Thee be praise, Allah be praised," Allah will listen to you, for Allah, the Exalted, said by the tongue of His Prophet ﷺ: "Allah listens to the one who praises Him." When he says "Allah is most great" and prostrates, say: "Allah is most great" and prostrate, for the imam prostrates before you and raises his head before you. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: This is for that. When he sits, each one of you should say "The adorations of the tongue, all good things, and acts of worship are due to Allah. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and Allah's mercy and His blessings. Peace be upon us and upon Allah's upright servants. I testify that there is no god but Allah, and I testify that Muhammad is His servant and Apostle." This version of Ahmad does not mention the words "and His blessings" nor the phrase "and I testify"; instead, it has the words "that Muhammad." (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 972)   

رَجُلٌ خَلْفَهُ أُقِرَّتِ الصَّلَاةُ بِالْبِرِّ وَالزَّكَاةِ فَلَمَّا قَضَى الْأَشْعَرِيُّ صَلَاتَهُ قَالَ أَيُّكُمُ الْقَائِلُ كَلِمَةَ كَذَا وَكَذَا؟ فَأَرَمَّ الْقَوْمُ فَقَالَ لِي يَا حِطَّانُ لَعَلَّكَ قُلْتَهَا قُلْتُ مَا قُلْتُهَا وَلَقَدْ رَهِبْتُ أَنْ تَبْكَعَنِي بِهَا قَالَ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ أَمَا تَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَقُولُونَ فِي صَلَاتِكُمْ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ خَطَبَنَا فَعَلَّمَنَا سُنَّتَنَا وَبَيَّنَ لَنَا صَلَاتَنَا فَقَالَ أَقِيمُوا صُفُوفَكُمْ ثُمَّ لِيَؤُمَّكُمْ أَحَدُكُمْ فَإِذَا كَبَّرَ الْإِمَامُ فَكَبِّرُوا وَإِذَا قَرَأَ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ فَقُولُوا آمِينَ يُجِبْكُمُ اللهُ وَإِذَا رَكَعَ فَارْكَعُوا فَإِنَّ الْإِمَامَ يَرْكَعُ قَبْلَكُمْ وَيَرْفَعُ قَبْلَكُمْ قَالَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ فَتِلْكَ بِتِلْكَ وَإِذَا قَالَ سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ فَقُولُوا اللهُمَّ رَبَّنَا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ يَسْمَعِ اللهُ لَكُمْ فَإِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ قَالَ عَلَى لِسَانِ نَبِيِّهِ ﷺ سَمِعَ اللهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ فَإِذَا كَبَّرَ وَسَجَدَ فَكَبِّرُوا وَاسْجُدُوا فَإِنَّ الْإِمَامَ يَسْجُدُ قَبْلَكُمْ وَيَرْفَعُ قَبْلَكُمْ قَالَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ ﷺ فَتِلْكَ بِتِلْكَ فَإِذَا كَانَ عِنْدَ الْقَعْدَةِ فَلْيَكُنْ مِنْ أَوَّلِ قَوْلِ أَحَدِكُمْ التَّحِيَّاتُ الطَّيِّبَاتُ الصَّلَوَاتُ لِلَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللهِ الصَّالِحِينَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ  

[Machine] The Prophet of Allah teaches us to recite the Tashahhud, "In the name of Allah, and the blessings and peace be upon Allah. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. Peace be upon us and the righteous servants of Allah. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and messenger. I ask Allah for Paradise and seek refuge in Him from the Fire." Abu Abdullah al-Hafiz narrated to us, Abu Bakr ibn Ishaq al-Faqih narrated to us, Abu Muslim narrated to us, Abu Asim narrated to us, Ayman ibn Nabil narrated to us, Abu al-Zubair mentioned it with similar words and added what he teaches us from the Quran. He said, "The greetings, blessings, and good deeds are for Allah. And at the end, he said, 'We ask Allah for Paradise and seek refuge in Him from the Fire.'" Ayman ibn Nabil mentioned it exclusively from Abu al-Zubair from Jabir. Abu Isa asked al-Bukhari about this hadith and he said, "It is a mistake. The correct version is..."  

رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُعَلِّمُنَا التَّشَهُّدَ بِسْمِ اللهِ وَبِاللهِ التَّحِيَّاتُ لِلَّهِ وَالصَّلَوَاتُ وَالطَّيِّبَاتُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللهِ الصَّالِحِينَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَسْأَلُ اللهَ الْجَنَّةَ وَأَعُوذُ بِهِ مِنَ النَّارِ 2830 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْفَقِيهُ أنبأ أَبُو مُسْلِمٍ ثنا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ ثنا أَيْمَنُ بْنُ نَابِلٍ ثنا أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ فَذَكَرَهُ بِمِثْلِهِ وَزَادَ كَمَا يُعَلِّمُنَا السُّورَةَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ وَقَالَ التَّحِيَّاتُ لِلَّهِ الصَّلَوَاتُ الطَّيِّبَاتُ لِلَّهِ وَقَالَ فِي آخِرِهِ نَسْأَلُ اللهَ الْجَنَّةَ وَنَعُوذُ بِهِ مِنَ النَّارِ تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ أَيْمَنُ بْنُ نَابِلٍ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى سَأَلْتُ الْبُخَارِيَّ عَنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فَقَالَ هُوَ خَطَأٌ وَالصَّوَابُ مَا  

[Machine] That Umar ibn Al-Khattab used to teach people the Tashahhud (testimonial prayer) during the prayer while delivering a sermon on the pulpit of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He would say, "When one of you says the Tashahhud, let him say: 'In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. Peace be upon us and upon the righteous servants of Allah. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, alone, without partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger.' Umar said, 'Begin with yourselves after the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and send peace upon the righteous servants of Allah.'"  

أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ كَانَ يُعَلِّمُ النَّاسَ التَّشَهُّدَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ وَهُوَ يَخْطُبُ النَّاسَ عَلَى مِنْبَرِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَيَقُولُ إِذَا تَشَهَّدَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَقُلْ بِسْمِ اللهِ خَيْرِ الْأَسْمَاءِ التَّحِيَّاتُ الزَّاكِيَّاتُ الصَّلَوَاتُ الطَّيِّبَاتُ لِلَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللهِ الصَّالِحِينَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ قَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ ابْدَءُوا بِأَنْفُسِكُمْ بَعْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَسَلِّمُوا عَلَى عِبَادِ اللهِ الصَّالِحِينَ  

[Machine] That Abdullah bin Umar used to send greetings and say: "In the name of Allah, the greetings are to Allah, the prayers and the good deeds are to Allah. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. Peace be upon us and upon the righteous servants of Allah. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah." He used to say this in the first two units of prayer and supplicate after completing his greetings in accordance with what is apparent to him. When he sat in his final prayer, he would also make the same greetings, except that he would precede the greetings and then supplicate in accordance with what is apparent to him. When he completed his greetings and wanted to conclude his prayer, he said, "Peace be upon the Prophet, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. Peace be upon us and upon the righteous servants of Allah. Peace be upon you." He said this on his right side, and then he would turn to the imam. If someone greets him from his left side, he responds to him.  

أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ كَانَ يَتَشَهَّدُ فَيَقُولُ بِسْمِ اللهِ التَّحِيَّاتُ لِلَّهِ وَالصَّلَوَاتُ الزَّاكِيَّاتُ لِلَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللهِ الصَّالِحِينَ شَهِدْتُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَشَهِدْتُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ يَقُولُ هَذَا فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ وَيَدْعُو إِذَا قَضَى تَشَهُّدَهُ بِمَا بَدَا لَهُ فَإِذَا جَلَسَ فِي آخِرِ صَلَاتِهِ تَشَهَّدَ كَذَلِكَ أَيْضًا إِلَّا أَنَّهُ يُقَدِّمَ التَّشَهُّدَ ثُمَّ يَدْعُو بِمَا بَدَا لَهُ فَإِذَا قَضَى تَشَهُّدَهُ وَأَرَادَ أَنْ يُسَلِّمَ قَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللهِ الصَّالِحِينَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَلَى يَمِينِهِ ثُمَّ يَرُدُّ عَلَى الْإِمَامِ فَإِنْ سَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ رَدَّ عَلَيْهِ  

[Machine] He used to say in the tashahhud in the middle and at the end of the prayer, "In the name of Allah, the greetings are for Allah, the prayers are for Allah, the good deeds are for Allah. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and messenger. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. Peace be upon us and upon the righteous servants of Allah, and he counts for us the number of Arabs. It was narrated from Al-Harith Al-A'war from Ali."  

كَانَ يَقُولُ فِي التَّشَهُّدِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فِي وَسَطِهَا وَفِي آخِرِهَا قَوْلًا وَاحِدًا بِسْمِ اللهِ التَّحِيَّاتُ لِلَّهِ الصَّلَوَاتُ لِلَّهِ الزَّاكِيَّاتُ لِلَّهِ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللهِ الصَّالِحِينَ وَيَعُدُّ لَنَا بِيَدِهِ عَدَدَ الْعَرَبِ وَرُوِيَ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ الْأَعْوَرِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ؓ  

[Machine] "In the name of Allah, and by Allah, Al-Harith is not argued with a similar narration, and the connected famous narration from Az-Zuhri from Urwah from Abdur Rahman Al-Qari from Umar does not mention the designation. The same applies to the authentic narration from Abdur Rahman bin Al-Qasim and Yahya bin Sa'id from Al-Qasim from Aisha, in which the designation is only mentioned by Muhammad bin Ishaq bin Yasar. As for the narration from Ibn Umar, even if it is authentic, it is possible that it is an addition from Ibn Umar's side, as we have narrated from him from the Prophet ﷺ the hadith of Tashahhud, which does not mention the designation. And Allah knows best. Thabit bin Zuhair narrated from Nafi' from Ibn Umar, and Hisham bin Urwah from his father from Aisha, both of them from the Prophet ﷺ regarding the designation before the greeting. Thabit bin Zuhair's narration is rejected as weak, and the authentic narration from Ibn Umar is interrupted as we have narrated and also narrated from Ibn Abbas that he heard a man saying, 'In the name of Allah, greetings are only for Allah,' and he reproached him."  

بِسْمِ اللهِ وَبِاللهِ وَالْحَارِثُ لَا يُحْتَجُّ بِمِثْلِهِ وَالرِّوَايَةُ الْمَوْصُولَةُ الْمَشْهُورَةُ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْقَارِيِّ عَنْ عُمَرَ لَيْسَ فِيهَا ذِكْرُ التَّسْمِيَةِ وَكَذَلِكَ الرِّوَايَةُ الصَّحِيحَةُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ وَيَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ لَيْسَ فِيهَا ذِكْرُ التَّسْمِيَةِ إِلَّا مَا تَفَرَّدَ بِهَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ وَأَمَّا الرِّوَايَةُ فِيهَا عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ فَهِيَ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ صَحِيحَةً فَيُحْتَمَلُ أَنْ تَكُونَ زِيَادَةً مِنْ جِهَةِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ فَقَدْ رُوِّينَا عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ حَدِيثُ التَّشَهُّدِ لَيْسَ فِيهِ ذِكْرُ التَّسْمِيَةِ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ وَقَدْ رَوَى ثَابِتُ بْنُ زُهَيْرٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ وَهِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ كِلَاهُمَا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي التَّسْمِيَةِ قَبْلَ التَّحِيَّةِ وَثَابِتُ بْنُ زُهَيْرٍ مُنْكَرُ الْحَدِيثِ ضَعِيفٌ وَالصَّحِيحُ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ مَوْقُوفٌ كَمَا رُوِّينَا وَرُوِّينَا عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَجُلًا يَقُولُ بِسْمِ اللهِ التَّحِيَّاتُ لِلَّهِ فَانْتَهَرَهُ  

[Machine] Start with the tashahhud.  

ابْدَأْ بِالتَّشَهُّدِ  

[Machine] Sa'id ibn Jubair used to say, "When he recited the Shahada (testimony of faith), the wording of the hadith of Ruwaidbari would be mentioned."  

قُلْتُ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ أَقُولُ فِي التَّشَهُّدِ بِسْمِ اللهِ قَالَ قُلْ التَّحِيَّاتُ لِلَّهِ قَالَ قُلْتُ أَقُولُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ قَالَ قُلِ التَّحِيَّاتُ لِلَّهِ قَالَ وَكَانَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ يَقُولُ إِذَا تَشَهَّدَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ الرُّوذْبَارِيِّ  

[Machine] I heard Omar ibn al-Khattab teaching people the Tashahhud during prayer while he was on the pulpit of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ . He said, "O people, when one of you sits to greet (Allah) or to recite the Tashahhud in the middle of the prayer, let him say: 'In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. All greetings, prayers, good deeds, and blessings belong to Allah. O people, bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger.' O people, before giving the Salam, say: 'Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy and blessings of Allah. Peace be upon us and upon the righteous servants of Allah.' And let not one of you say 'Peace be upon Jibreel, peace be upon Mikail, peace be upon the angels of Allah,' when he says 'Peace be upon us and upon the righteous servants of Allah,' for he has already given the greeting to every righteous servant of Allah in the heavens or on the earth. Then let him give the greeting and there is no difference in the narration of Ibn Shihab and Hisham ibn Urwah, except that Ibn Shihab said 'the blessings' and Hisham said 'the blessed.' Ibn Ishaq said, 'And I see no difference except that Hisham was more adherent to them.' The sheikh said, 'That is how it is.'"  

سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ يُعَلِّمُ النَّاسَ التَّشَهُّدَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ وَهُوَ عَلَى مِنْبَرِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِذَا جَلَسَ أَحَدُكُمْ لِيُسَلِّمَ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ أَوْ يَتَشَهَّدَ فِي وَسَطِهَا فَلْيَقُلْ بِسْمِ اللهِ خَيْرِ الْأَسْمَاءِ التَّحِيَّاتُ الصَّلَوَاتُ الطَّيِّبَاتُ الْمُبَارَكَاتُ لِلَّهِ أَرْبَعٌ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ التَّشَهُّدُ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قَبْلَ السَّلَامِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللهِ الصَّالِحِينَ وَلَا يَقُولُ أَحَدُكُمْ السَّلَامُ عَلَى جَبْرَئِيلَ السَّلَامُ عَلَى مِيكَائِيلَ السَّلَامُ عَلَى مَلَائِكَةِ اللهِ إِذَا قَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللهِ الصَّالِحِينَ فَقَدْ سَلَّمَ عَلَى كُلِّ عَبْدٍ لِلَّهِ صَالِحٍ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ أَوْ فِي الْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ لِيُسَلِّمْ وَلَمْ يَخْتَلِفْ حَدِيثُ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ وَلَا حَدِيثُ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ إِلَّا أَنَّ ابْنَ شِهَابٍ قَالَ الزَّاكِيَّاتُ وَقَالَ هِشَامٌ الْمُبَارَكَاتُ قَالَ ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ وَلَا أَرَى إِلَّا أَنَّ هِشَامًا كَانَ أَحْفَظَهُمَا لِلُزُومِهِ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ كَذَا  

[Machine] And Abu Abdullah, Abu Zakaria, and Abu Bakr informed us that Abu al-Abbas narrated to us, and Bahur bin Nasr said, "I recited to Ibn Wahb what Malik bin Anas, Yunus bin Yazid, and Amr bin al-Harith informed me about Ibn Shihab. They said that Urwah bin Zubair and Abdul Rahman bin Abd al-Qari narrated to them that they heard Umar bin al-Khattab teaching the people the tashahhud on the pulpit. He would say, 'Say: Greetings belong to Allah, pure and good deeds belong to Allah, prayers belong to Allah, peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. Peace be upon us and upon the righteous servants of Allah. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and messenger.'" This is the wording of Ibn Wahb's narration. And in the narration of Shafi'i, may Allah have mercy on him, Umar bin al-Khattab was heard saying on the pulpit while teaching the people the tashahhud, "And pure and good deeds belong to Allah, and the rest is the same."  

وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ وَأَبُو زَكَرِيَّا وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ قَالُوا أنبأ أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ ثنا بَحْرُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ قَالَ قُرِئَ عَلَى ابْنِ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَكَ مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ وَيُونُسُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ وَعَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ أَنَّ ابْنَ شِهَابٍ حَدَّثَهُمْ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ وَعَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدٍ الْقَارِيِّ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ يُعَلِّمُ النَّاسَ التَّشَهُّدِ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَيَقُولُ قُولُوا التَّحِيَّاتُ لِلَّهِ الزَّاكِيَّاتُ لِلَّهِ الطَّيِّبَاتُ لِلَّهِ الصَّلَوَاتُ لِلَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللهِ الصَّالِحِينَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ وَفِي حَدِيثِ الشَّافِعِيِّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ سَمِعَ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ يَقُولُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ وَهُوَ يُعَلِّمُ النَّاسَ التَّشَهُّدَ وَقَالَ الطَّيِّبَاتُ الصَّلَوَاتُ لِلَّهِ وَالْبَاقِي سَوَاءٌ  

[Machine] To Allah belong the pure things, to Allah belong the good deeds, to Allah belong the greetings and mercy and blessings be upon you, O Prophet. Peace be upon us and upon the righteous servants of Allah. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and messenger. Ma'mar said, "Al-Zuhri used to hold onto it and say, 'He taught the people on the pulpit.' The companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ were present and they did not deny it." Ma'mar also said, "And I hold onto it." The late scholar said, "May Allah have mercy on him, and it has been narrated in one of the two narrations about Aisha's testimony."  

لِلَّهِ الزَّاكِيَّاتُ لِلَّهِ الصَّلَوَاتُ الطَّيِّبَاتُ لِلَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللهِ الصَّالِحِينَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ قَالَ مَعْمَرٌ كَانَ الزُّهْرِيُّ يَأْخُذُ بِهِ وَيَقُولُ عَلَّمَهُ النَّاسَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ وَأَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مُتَوَافِرُونَ لَا يُنْكِرُونَهُ قَالَ مَعْمَرٌ وَأَنَا آخُذُ بِهِ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ فِي إِحْدَى الرِّوَايَتَيْنِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ تَقْدِيمُ كَلِمَتَيِ الشَّهَادَةِ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said that when the greetings of peace are completed and the pure prayers and righteous acts are presented to Allah, she used to say: "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah alone, with no partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy and blessings of Allah. Peace be upon us and upon the righteous slaves of Allah. Peace be upon you all." And Abu Ahmad informed us that Abu Bakr informed us that Muhammad narrated to us from Ibn Bukair, from Malik, from Yahya bin Sa'eed, from Al-Qasim bin Muhammad, from Aisha, with a similar statement, except that he did not mention the phrase "with no partner". And we have narrated from Aisha, mentioning the words of surrender before it.  

النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَقُولُ إِذَا تَشَهَّدَتْ التَّحِيَّاتُ الطَّيِّبَاتُ الصَّلَوَاتُ الزَّاكِيَّاتُ لِلَّهِ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللهِ الصَّالِحِينَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ 2841 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ثنا مُحَمَّدٌ ثنا ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ ثنا مَالِكٌ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ بِمِثْلِهِ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَذْكُرْ قَوْلَهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَرُوِّينَا عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ تَقْدِيمَ كَلِمَتَيِ التَّسْلِيمِ  

[Machine] I heard Al-Qasim bin Muhammad saying, "Aisha used to teach us the testimony of faith and she would gesture with her hand, saying, 'The good greetings, the pure prayers, the righteous acts are for Allah. Peace be upon the Prophet and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. Peace be upon us and upon the righteous servants of Allah. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger.' Then the person can supplicate for himself." It is narrated by Muhammad bin Salih bin Dinah from Al-Qasim bin Muhammad in a raised manner, and the authentic narration is stopped.  

سَمِعْتُ الْقَاسِمَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ يَقُولُ كَانَتْ عَائِشَةُ تَعَلِّمُنَا التَّشَهُّدَ وَتُشِيرُ بِيَدِهَا تَقُولُ التَّحِيَّاتُ الطَّيِّبَاتُ الصَّلَوَاتُ الزَّاكِيَّاتُ لِلَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللهِ الصَّالِحِينَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ ثُمَّ يَدْعُو الْإِنْسَانُ لِنَفْسِهِ بَعْدُ وَرُوِيَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ صَالِحِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ مَرْفُوعًا وَالصَّحِيحُ مَوْقُوفٌ  

We used to pray behind the Prophet ﷺ and used to say: "As-Salamu 'Al-Allah. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allah himself is As-Salam (Name of Allah), so you should say: 'at-Tahiyatu lil-lahi was-sala-watu wattaiyibatu, as-salamu ʿalaika aiyyuha-n-nabiyyu wa rahmatu-l-lahi wa barakatuhu, as-salamu ʿalaina wa ʿala ʿibadi-l-lahi as-salihin. Ashhadu an la ilaha il-lallah, wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan ʿabduhu wa rasuluhu."' (Using translation from Bukhārī 7381)   

هَذَا تَشَهُّدُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ التَّحِيَّاتُ لِلَّهِ وَالصَّلَوَاتُ وَالطَّيِّبَاتُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللهِ الصَّالِحِينَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ قُلْتُ بِسْمِ اللهِ فَقَالَ الْقَاسِمُ بِسْمِ اللهِ كُلَّ سَاعَةٍ  

[Machine] I heard Hisham ibn Hakim ibn Hizam reciting Surah Al-Furqan in a different way than I recite it, and the Prophet ﷺ used to recite it in the same way as I do. So, I was about to rush upon him and interrupt his recitation, but then I waited until he finished. After that, I wrapped him with his own garment, brought him to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I heard this man reciting Surah Al-Furqan in a different way than you taught me." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "Recite it." So, he recited it in the same way as I heard him recite it before. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "It was revealed like this." Then he said to me, "Recite it." So, I recited it, and he said, "It was revealed like this. Indeed, the Quran was revealed in seven different dialects, so recite that which is easy for you." Imam Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said, "When Allah, in His mercy, revealed His book in seven different dialects, it was so that the recitation of the Quran would be made easy for people. And even though the wording may differ, as long as the meaning remains the same, it is permissible. And it is not permissible for anyone to deliberately omit reciting a letter from the Quran, except due to forgetting. And this applies to the Tashahhud (a part of the prayer) and all forms of remembrance, as they are less strict." He also said, "Whoever criticized Shafi'i for choosing the narration of Ibn Abbas in the Tashahhud over others, I say that when I saw that narration was widespread and authentic, and I heard it from Ibn Abbas directly, I took it as more reliable and more abundant in wording than others. Therefore, I adhered to it, not criticizing those who adhered to other narrations unless the evidence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was proven, such as the narration of Abdullah ibn Mas'ud, Abdullah ibn Abbas, and Abu Musa al-Ash'ari."

[Machine] "From Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Aswad"  

عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ  

It pertains to the sunnah to utter the tashahhud quietly. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 986)   

أَنْ يُخْفِيَ التَّشَهُّدَ  

We were sitting in the company of Sa'id b. 'Ubida when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us. Bashir b. S'ad said: Allah has commanded us to bless you. Messenger of Allah! But how should we bless you? He (the narrator) said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ kept quiet (and we were so much perturbed over his silence) that we wished we had not asked him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said: (For blessing me) say:" 0 Allah, bless Muhammad and the members of his household as Thou didst bless the mernbers of Ibrahim's household. Grant favours to Muhammad and the members of his household as Thou didst grant favours to the members of the household of Ibrahim in the world. Thou art indeed Praiseworthy and Glorious" ; and salutation as you know. (Using translation from Muslim 405)   

أَتَانَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ فِي مَجْلِسِ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ فَقَالَ لَهُ بَشِيرُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ أَمَرَنَا اللهُ أَنْ نُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَكَيْفَ نُصَلِّي عَلَيْكَ؟ قَالَ فَسَكَتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى تَمَنَّيْنَا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَسْأَلْهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قُولُوا اللهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَبَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ فِي الْعَالَمِينَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ وَالسَّلَامُ كَمَا قَدْ عَلِمْتُمْ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ يَحْيَى
