1202. Narrated 'Abdullāh bin Mas'ūd رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: We used to say the greeting, name and greet each other in As-Salāt (the prayer). Allāh's Messenger ﷺ heard it and said: "Say, 'At-tahiyātu lillāhi waṣ-salawātu waṭ-taiyibātu. Assalāmu 'alaikā ayyuhan Nabīyyu wa-raḥmatullāhi wa-barakātuhū. Assalāmu 'alainā wa 'alā 'ibādillāhiṣ-ṣāliḥin. Aṣḥadu an lā ilāha illallāh wa aṣḥadu anna Muḥammadan 'abduhū wa Rasūluhu.'" [All the compliments are for Allāh and all the Salawāt (prayers etc.) and all the good things (are for Allāh). Peace be on you, O Prophet, and Allāh's Mercy and Blessings (be on you). And peace be on us and on the good (pious) slaves – worshippers of Allāh. I testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allāh; and I also testify that Muḥammad is His slave and His Messenger]. So, when you have said this, then you have surely sent the greetings to every good (pious) slave – worshipper of Allāh, whether he be in the heavens or on the earth."
