English translation
6328. Narrated 'Abdullāh رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: We used to say in the Ṣalāt (prayer): “As-Salām be on Allāh, As-Salām be on so-and-so.” One day the Prophet ﷺ told us, “Allāh (*) (H. 6326) 'O Allāh! I have done great wrong (injustice) to myself, and there is nobody who forgives except You, so please forgive me with forgiveness from You, and be Merciful to me, as You are the Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. Himself is As-Salām; when anyone of you sits during his Ṣalāt (prayer) (in sitting posture), he should say: 'At-tahiyyātullāhi,' up to 'As-sāliḥīn,' (All the compliments are for Allāh... up to ... righteous people) for when he recites this then he says his Salām to all the righteous people present in the heavens and on the earth. Then he should say, 'I testify that Lā ilāha illallāh (none has the right to be worshipped except Allāh), and that Muḥammad is His slave and His Messenger,' and then he can select whatever he likes to glorify (Allāh's) Praises."
