1174. It was narrated from Ḥittān bin 'Abdullāh that they prayed with Abū Mūsā and he said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'When you are sitting then let the first words that any of you says be: At-taḥīyyātu lillāhiṭ-ṭayyibātuṣ-ṣalawātu lillāh, as-salāmu 'alaika ayyuhan-Nabīyyu wa raḥmat-Allāhi wa barakātuhu. As-salāmu 'alaina wa 'ala 'ibād illāhiṣ-ṣāliḥīn, ashhadu an lā ilāha illallāh waḥdahu lā sharīka lahu, wa ashhadu anna Muḥammadan ʿabduhu wa rasūluhu (All compliments, good words and prayers 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 alone with no partner or associate, and I bear witness that Muḥammad is His slave and Messenger). (Ṣaḥīḥ)
