“When we performed prayer with the Prophet ﷺ we said: ‘Peace be upon Allah from His slaves, peace be upon Jibra’il and Mika’il and so-and-so and so-and- so.’ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard us and said: ‘Do not say peace (Salam) be upon Allah, for He is As-Salam. When you sit (during prayer) say: At-Tahiyyatu lillahi was-salawatu wat-tayyibatu; as- salamu ‘alayka ayyuhan-Nabiyyu wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu; as- salamu ‘alayna wa ‘ala ‘ibadillahis-salihin (All compliments, prayers and good words are due to 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).” For as you say that it will reach every righteous slave in the heavens and on earth. (Then say:) “Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan ‘abduhu wa Rasuluhu (I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger).” (Another chain) with similar wording. (Another chain) that ʿAbdullah bin Masʿud said: "The Prophet ﷺ used to teach us the Tashahhud." And he mentioned similarly.  

كُنَّا إِذَا صَلَّيْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قُلْنَا السَّلاَمُ عَلَى اللَّهِ قَبْلَ عِبَادِهِ السَّلاَمُ عَلَى جِبْرَائِيلَ وَمِيكَائِيلَ وَعَلَى فُلاَنٍ وَفُلاَنٍ يَعْنُونَ الْمَلاَئِكَةَ فَسَمِعَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لاَ تَقُولُوا السَّلاَمُ عَلَى اللَّهِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ السَّلاَمُ فَإِذَا جَلَسْتُمْ فَقُولُوا التَّحِيَّاتُ لِلَّهِ وَالصَّلَوَاتُ وَالطَّيِّبَاتُ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللَّهِ الصَّالِحِينَ فَإِنَّهُ إِذَا قَالَ ذَلِكَ أَصَابَتْ كُلَّ عَبْدٍ صَالِحٍ فِي السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَنْبَأَنَا الثَّوْرِيُّ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ وَالأَعْمَشِ وَحُصَيْنٍ وَأَبِي هَاشِمٍ وَحَمَّادٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ وَعَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ وَأَبِي الأَحْوَصِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ نَحْوَهُ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَعْمَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا قَبِيصَةُ أَنْبَأَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ وَمَنْصُورٍ وَحُصَيْنٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ح قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ وَالأَسْوَدِ وَأَبِي الأَحْوَصِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يُعَلِّمُهُمُ التَّشَهُّدَ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ  

[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] 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."
