English translation
1278. It was narrated that Ibn Ma'sūd said: "Before the Tashahhud was enjoined, when we prayed we used to say: 'Peace (As-Salām) be upon Allāh, peace be upon Jibrīl, peace be upon Mīkā'īl.'" The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Do not say this, for indeed Allāh, the Mighty and Sublime, is As-Salām. Rather say: "At-tahiyātu lillāhi waṣ-salawātu waṭ-ṭayyibāt, as-salāmu 'alaika ayyuhan-Nabiyyu wa raḥmat-Allāhi wa barakātuhu. As-salāmu 'alaina wa 'ala 'ibād illāhiṣ-sāliḥīn, aṣḥadu an lā ilāha illallāh, wa aṣḥadu 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)
