914. It was narrated from 'Abdullâh that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ used to say the Salâm to his right and his left, until the whiteness of his cheek could be seen (saying): "As-salâmu 'alaikum wa rahmatullâh (Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allâh)." (Sahih)
914 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، كَانَ «يُسَلِّمُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ شِمَالِهِ حَتَّى يُرَى بَيَاضُ خَدِّهِ، السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ»

a. As mentioned under H:275 and 276, Taslim (salutation), is the proper way to signal the end of prayer. b. Several versions of 'salutation' or 'greetings' are proven in the Sunnah, such as (i) As-salâmu 'alaikum wa rahmatullâh – As-salâmu 'alaikum wa rahmatullâh (as we will see under H. 916), (ii) As-salâmu 'alaikum wa rahmatullâh wa barakâtuhu – As-salâmu 'alaikum wa rahmatullâh wa barakâtuhu (Bulugh Al-Marâm by Ibn Hajar: 252), (iii) As-salâmu 'alaikum wa rahmatullâh wa barakâtuhu to the right and As-salâmu 'alaikum wa rahmatullâh to the left (Sunan Abu-Dâ'ud: 987), (iv) Finishing the prayer with just one Taslim is also in order. But while saying a single Salâm, the face must be turned to the right just a little (Jâmi' At-Tirmidhî: 296).
