1170. It was narrated that Ibn Ma'sûd said: "We used to pray with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and we would say: 'Peace (As-Salâm) be upon Allâh, peace be upon Jibrîl, peace be upon Mîkā'îl.' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Do not say 'Peace (As-Salām) be upon Allāh, for Allāh is As-Salām. Rather say: "At-taḥiyātu lillāhi waṣ-salawātu waṭ-ṭayyibāt, as-salāmu 'alaika ayyuhan-Nabiyyu wa raḥmat-Allāhi wa barakātuhu. As-salāmu 'alaina wa 'ala 'ibād illāhiṣ-ṣāliḥīn, aṣḥḥadu an lā ilāha illallāh wa aṣḥḥadu anna Muḥammadan 'abduhu wa raṣūluhu (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)
