“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ addressed us and explained the Sunnah for us, and he taught us our prayer. He said: ‘When you perform prayer, and you are sitting, let the first thing you say be: At-Tahiyyatut-tayyibatus-salawatu lillah; 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 Rasuluhu (All compliments, good words and prayers 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. I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger). Seven phrases which are the greeting of the prayer.’”  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَطَبَنَا وَبَيَّنَ لَنَا سُنَّتَنَا وَعَلَّمَنَا صَلاَتَنَا فَقَالَ إِذَا صَلَّيْتُمْ فَكَانَ عِنْدَ الْقَعْدَةِ فَلْيَكُنْ مِنْ أَوَّلِ قَوْلِ أَحَدِكُمُ التَّحِيَّاتُ الطَّيِّبَاتُ الصَّلَوَاتُ لِلَّهِ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللَّهِ الصَّالِحِينَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ سَبْعُ كَلِمَاتٍ هُنَّ تَحِيَّةُ الصَّلاَةِ  

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Urwa ibn az- Zubayr from Abd ar-Rahman ibn Abd al-Qari that he heard Umar ibn al- Khattab say, while he was teaching people the tashahhud from the mimbar, "Say, Greetings belong to Allah. Pure actions belong to Allah. Good words and prayers belong to Allah. Peace on you, Prophet, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. Peace be upon us and on the slaves of Allah who are salihun. I testify that there is no god except Allah. And I testify that Muhammad is His slave and His messenger." 'At-tahiyatu lillah, az-zakiyatu lillah, at-tayibatu wa's-salawatu lillah. As-salamu alayka ayyuha'nnabiyyu wa rahmatu'llahi wa barakatuhu. As-salamu alayna wa ala ibadi'llahi s-salihin. Ash-hadu an la ilaha illa 'llah wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan abduhu wa rasuluh."  

وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يُعَلِّمُ النَّاسَ التَّشَهُّدَ يَقُولُ قُولُوا التَّحِيَّاتُ لِلَّهِ الزَّاكِيَاتُ لِلَّهِ الطَّيِّبَاتُ الصَّلَوَاتُ لِلَّهِ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللَّهِ الصَّالِحِينَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ  

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar used to say the tashahhud saying, "In the name of Allah. Greetings belong to Allah. Prayers belong to Allah. Pure actions belong to Allah. Peace be on the Prophet and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. Peace be on us and on the slaves of Allah who are salihun. I testify that there is no god except Allah. I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah." "Bismillah, at-tahiyatu lillah, as-salawatu lillah, az-zakiyatu lillah. As-salamu ala'n-nabiyyi wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu. As-salamu alayna wa ala ibadi'llahi's-salihin. Shahidtu an la ilaha illallah. Shahidtu anna Muhammadu'r-rasulu'llah." He used to say this after the first two rakas and he would make supplication with whatever seemed fit to him when the tashahhud was completed. When he sat at the end of the prayer, he did the tashahhud in a similar manner, except that after the tashahhud he made supplication with whatever seemed fit to him. When he had completed the tashahhud and intended to say the taslim, he said, "Peace be on the Prophet and His mercy and blessings. Peace be upon us and on the slaves of Allah who are salihun." "As- salamu ala'n-nabiyyi wa rahmatu'llahi wa barakatuhu. As-salamu alayna wa ala ibadi'llahi'ssalihin ." He then said, "Peace be upon you" to his right, and would return the greeting to the imam, and if anyone said "Peace be upon you" from his left he would return the greeting to him.  

أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ كَانَ يَتَشَهَّدُ فَيَقُولُ بِاسْمِ اللَّهِ التَّحِيَّاتُ لِلَّهِ الصَّلَوَاتُ لِلَّهِ الزَّاكِيَاتُ لِلَّهِ السَّلاَمُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللَّهِ الصَّالِحِينَ شَهِدْتُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ شَهِدْتُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ هَذَا فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الأُولَيَيْنِ وَيَدْعُو إِذَا قَضَى تَشَهُّدَهُ بِمَا بَدَا لَهُ فَإِذَا جَلَسَ فِي آخِرِ صَلاَتِهِ تَشَهَّدَ كَذَلِكَ أَيْضًا إِلاَّ أَنَّهُ يُقَدِّمُ التَّشَهُّدَ ثُمَّ يَدْعُو بِمَا بَدَا لَهُ فَإِذَا قَضَى تَشَهُّدَهُ وَأَرَادَ أَنْ يُسَلِّمَ قَالَ السَّلاَمُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللَّهِ الصَّالِحِينَ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ ثُمَّ يَرُدُّ عَلَى الإِمَامِ فَإِنْ سَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ رَدَّ عَلَيْهِ  

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abd ar-Rahman ibn al-Qasim from his father that A'isha, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ used to say in the tashahhud, "Greetings, good words, prayers, pure actions belong to Allah. I testify that there is no god except Allah, alone without partner, and that Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger. Peace be on you, Prophet, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. Peace be on us and on the slaves of Allah who are salihun. Peace be upon you." "At-tahiyatu, at- tayibatu, as-salawatu, az-zakiyatu lillah. Ash-hadu an la ilaha illa'llah, wahdahu la sharika lah wa anna Muhammadan abduhu wa rasuluhu. As-salamu alayka ayyuha-n-nabiyyu wa rahmatu-llahi wa barakatuhu. As-salamu alayna wa ala ibadi-llahi's-salihin. As-salamu alaykum."  

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَقُولُ إِذَا تَشَهَّدَتِ التَّحِيَّاتُ الطَّيِّبَاتُ الصَّلَوَاتُ الزَّاكِيَاتُ لِلَّهِ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللَّهِ الصَّالِحِينَ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ  

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said al-Ansari that al-Qasim ibn Muhammad ibn Muhammad told him that A'isha, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ used to say in the tashahhud, "Greetings, good words, prayers, pure actions belong to Allah. I testify that there is no god except Allah, alone without partner, and I testify that Muhammad is the slave of Allah and His Messenger. Peace be upon you, Prophet, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. Peace be upon us and on the slaves of Allah who are salihun . Peace be upon you . " "At-tahiyatu, at-tayibatu, as- salawatu, az-zakiyatu lillah. Ash-hadu an la ilaha illa'llah, wahdahu la sharika llah wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan abduhu wa rasuluhu. As- salamu alayka ayyuha-n-nabiyyu wa rahmatu-llahi wa barakatuhu. As- salamu alayna wa ala ibadi-llahi's-salihin. As-salamu alaykum."  

إِذَا تَشَهَّدَتِ التَّحِيَّاتُ الطَّيِّبَاتُ الصَّلَوَاتُ الزَّاكِيَاتُ لِلَّهِ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولُهُ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللَّهِ الصَّالِحِينَ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ  

[Machine] Abdullah ibn Salama Al-Qa'nabi reported that Abd al-Aziz ibn Muhammad narrated from Hisham ibn Uruwah, from his father, that Umar ibn al-Khattab used to teach the people how to recite the Tashahhud in prayer while delivering a sermon on the pulpit of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He would say, "When one of you recites Tashahhud in prayer, let them say: 'In the name of Allah, the most beneficial, the most merciful. All pure prayers, good greetings and pure acts of worship 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. I bear witness that there is no God but Allah alone, without any partners, and that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger.' Umar said, 'Begin with yourselves after the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and send peace upon the righteous slaves of Allah.'"  

ثنا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ الْقَعْنَبِيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ كَانَ يُعَلِّمُ النَّاسَ التَّشَهُّدَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ وَهُوَ يَخْطُبُ النَّاسَ عَلَى مِنْبَرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَيَقُولُ إِذَا تَشَهَّدَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَقُلْ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ خَيْرِ الْأَسْمَاءِ التَّحِيَّاتُ الزَّاكِيَاتُ الصَّلَوَاتُ الطَّيِّبَاتُ لِلَّهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عَبَّادِ اللَّهِ الصَّالِحِينَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ قَالَ عُمَرُ «ابْدَءُوا بِأَنْفُسِكُمْ بَعْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَسَلِّمُوا عَلَى عَبَّادِ اللَّهِ الصَّالِحِينَ»  

The adoration of the tongue are due to Allah, and acts of worship, all good things. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and Allah’s mercy and His blessings. Ibn ‘Umar said: I added: “And Allah’s blessings, peace be upon us, and upon Allah’s upright servants. I testify that there is not god but Allah. “Ibn ‘Umar said: I added to it: He is alone, no one is His associate, and I testify that Muhammad is His servant and His Apostle. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 971)   

سَأَلْتُ سَلْمَانَ الْفَارِسِيَّ عَنِ التَّشَهُّدِ فَقَالَ أُعَلِّمُكُمْ كَمَا عَلَّمَنِيهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَّمَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ التَّشَهُّدَ حَرْفًا حَرْفًا «التَّحِيَّاتُ لِلَّهِ وَالصَّلَوَاتُ وَالطَّيِّبَاتُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللهِ الصَّالِحِينَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ»  

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)   

كُنَّا نَتَشَهَّدُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَنَقُولُ السَّلَامُ عَلَى اللهِ قَبْلَ عِبَادِهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَى جِبْرِيلَ السَّلَامُ عَلَى مِيكَائِيلَ نُعَدِّدُ الْمَلَائِكَةَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللهَ هُوَ السَّلَامُ فَإِذَا جَلَسَ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَلْيَقُلِ 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 فَإِنَّهُ إِذَا قَالَ أَحَدُكُمُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللهِ الصَّالِحِينَ أَصَابَتْ كُلَّ عَبْدٍ صَالِحٍ فِي السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ

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  

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] 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] 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  

"عن عروة: أن عمر بن الخطاب كَانَ يُعَلِّمُ النَّاسَ التَشَهُّدَ فِى الصَّلَاةِ وَهُوَ يَخْطُبُ النَّاسَ عَلَى مِنْبَرِ رَسُولِ اللَّه ﷺ يَقُولُ: إِذَا تَشَهَّدَ أَحَدُكُم فَليَقُلْ: بِاسْمِ اللَّه خَيْرِ الأَسْمَاءِ، التَحِيَّاتُ الزَّاكِيَاتُ، والصَّلَوَاتُ الطَّيِّبَاتُ للَّه السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِىُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّه وَبَرَكَاتُهُ، السَّلَامُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عبَادِ اللَّه، الصَّالِحِينَ: أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّه وأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ: قَالَ عُمَرُ: ابْدَأُوا بِأَنْفُسِكُمْ بَعْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّه ﷺ وَسَلِّمُوا عَلَى عبَادِ اللَّه الصِّالِحِينَ".  

"عَنْ عَوْنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ عقبة بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: عَلَّمَنِى أَبِى كَلِمَاتٍ زَعَمَ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الخَطَّابِ عَلَّمَهُ إِيَّاهُنَّ، وَزَعَمَ عُمَرُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ عَلَّمَه إيَّاهُنَّ: التَّحِيَّاتُ الصَّلَوَاتُ الطَّيِّباتُ المُبَارَكَاتُ لله، السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِىُّ وَرَحْمَةُ الله وَبَرَكَاتُهُ، السَّلَام عَلَينَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ الله الصَّالِحِينَ، أَشْهَد أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا الله، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ".  

"عَنْ عبد الرحمن بن عبدِ القارى أنه سمع عمر بن الخطاب - وهو على المنبر وهو يعلم الناس التشهد - يقول: قُولُوا: التَّحِيَّاتُ لله، الزَّاكِيَاتُ لله، الطَّيِّباتُ، الصَّلَوَاتُ لله، السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِىُّ وَرَحْمَةُ الله وَبَرَكَاتُهُ، (السَّلَامُ عَلينَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ الله الصَّالِحِينَ) أَشْهَدُ أنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا الله، وَأَشْهَدُ أَن مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ".

"عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَن بْنِ عُبَيد الْقَارِى، قَالَ: شَهِدْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ وَهُوَ يُعَلِّمُ النَّاسَ التَّشَهُّدَ فَقَالَ: بِسْمِ الله خْيرِ الأَسْماءٍ: التَّحِيَّاتُ لله، الزَّاكِيَاتُ لله، الطَّيِّبَاتُ الصَّلَواتُ لله، السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِىُّ وَرَحْمَةُ الله وَبرَكَاتُهُ، السَّلَامُ عَلْينَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ الله الصَّالِحينَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا الله، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُه".  

"عن عبد الرحمن بن عبد القارى قال: سمعتُ عمر بن الخطاب يُعَلِّمُ النَّاسَ التشهدَ في الصلاة وهو على منبر رسول الله ﷺ يقول: أيها الناس! إذا جلسَ أحدكم لِيُسَلِّمَ من صلاته أو يَتَشهدَ في وسطها فليقل: بسم الله خير الأسماء، التحياتُ الصلواتُ الطيباتُ المباركاتُ لله أَرْبَعٌ أيها الناسُ! أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله، وأشهد أن محمدا عبده ورسوله (التشهد) أيها الناسُ! قبلَ السلامُ عليك أيها النبي ورحمة الله وبركاته، السلام علينا وعلى عبادِ الله الصالحين ولا يقول أحدكم:

السلامُ على جبريلَ، السلام على ميكائيل، السلام على ملائكة الله؛ إذا قال: السلام علينا وعلى عباد الله الصالحين، فقد سَلَّمَ على كل عبد صالح في السموات أو في الأرض، ثم لِيُسَلِّمْ".
