1167. It was narrated from Al-Aswad and ‘Alqamah, that ‘Abdullāh bin Maṣṣūd said: “We were with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and we did not know anything, then the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said to us: ‘Every time you sit (in prayer), say: “At-taḥiyātu lillāhi was-salawātu waṭ-tayyibāt, as-salāmu ‘alaika ayyuhan-Nabiyū wa raḥmat-Allāhi wa barakātuhu. As-salāmu ‘alaina wa ‘ala ‘ibād illāhiṣ-ṣāliḥīn, ashḥadu an lā ilāha illallāh wa ashḥadu anna Muḥammadan ‘abduhu wa rasūluhu” (All compliments, prayers and pure words are due to Allāh. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy of Allāh and His blessings. Peace be upon us and upon the righteous slaves of Allāh. I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped except Allāh and I bear witness that Muḥammad is His slave and Messenger).” (Ṣaḥīḥ)
