Hadith 3129

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umarused to say the tashahhud saying, "In the name of Allah. Greetingsbelong to Allah. Prayers belong to Allah. Pure actions belong toAllah. Peace be on the Prophet and the mercy of Allah and Hisblessings. 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 Muhammadis the Messenger of Allah.""Bismillah, at-tahiyatu lillah,as-salawatu lillah, az-zakiyatu lillah. As-salamu ala'n-nabiyyi warahmatullahi wa barakatuhu. As-salamu alayna wa alaibadi'llahi's-salihin. Shahidtu an la ilaha illallah. Shahidtu annaMuhammadu'r-rasulu'llah."He used to say this after the firsttwo rakas and he would make supplication with whatever seemed fit tohim when the tashahhud was completed. When he sat at the end of theprayer, he did the tashahhud in a similar manner, except that afterthe tashahhud he made supplication with whatever seemed fit to him.When he had completed the tashahhud and intended to say the taslim, hesaid, "Peace be on the Prophet and His mercy and blessings. Peace beupon us and on the slaves of Allah who are salihun.""As-salamu ala'n-nabiyyi wa rahmatu'llahi wa barakatuhu. As-salamu alaynawa ala ibadi'llahi'ssalihin ."He then said, "Peace be uponyou" to his right, and would return the greeting to the imam, and ifanyone said "Peace be upon you" from his left he would return thegreeting to him.
