1169. It was narrated that Ibn Ma’sūd said: “When we prayed with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, we
used to say: 'Peace (As-Salâm) be upon Allâh, peace be upon Jibrîl, peace be upon Mîkâ'îl.' The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Do not say 'Peace (As-Salâm) be upon Allâh, for Allâh is As-Salâm.'[1] Rather say: "At-taḥīyyātu lillâhi was-salawātu waṭ-tayyibât, as-salâmu 'alaika ayyuhan-Nabīyyu wa raḥmat-Allâhi wa barakâtuhu. As-salâmu 'alaina wa 'ala 'ibâd illâhis-sâlihîn, ashhadu an lâ ilâha illallâh waḥdahu lâ sharîka lahu, wa ashhadu anna Muḥammadan 'abduhu wa rasûluhu (All compliments, prayers and pure words are due to Allâh. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy of Allâh and His blessings. Peace be upon us and upon the righteous slaves of Allâh. I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped except Allâh alone without partners, and I bear witness that Muḥammad is His slave and Messenger)." (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Commentary
Instead of naming individual names, the phrase Ībâdillâhis Sâlihîn (Allâh's righteous slaves) encompasses all the angels and righteous humans. Therefore, this is most right.
