English translation
835. Narrated 'Abdullāh (bin Mas'ūd): Whenever we offered Salāt (prayer) with the Prophet ﷺ we used to say, As-Salām (peace) be on Allāh from His slaves and peace be on so-and-so.” The Prophet ﷺ said, “Don’t say As-Salām be on Allāh, for He Himself is As-Salām, but say, ‘At-taḥiyātu lillāhi waṣ-ṣalawātu waṭ-taḥiyātu. As-Salāmu ‘alaika aiyuhan-Nabīyyu waraḥmatul-lāhi wa barakātuhu. As-Salāmu ‘alainā wa ‘alā ‘ibādillah iṣṣāliḥin. If you say this then it will be for all the slaves in heaven or between heaven and earth. Ash-hadu an lā-ilāha ill-Allāhu wa ash-hadu anna Muḥammadan ‘abduhū wa Rasūluhu.’ Then select the invocation you like best and recite it.” (See Hadīth No.831, 832, 833 & 834).
