English translation
1280. It was narrated that ‘Abdullâh said: “The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: ‘Allâh, the Mighty and Sublime, is As-Salâm (the source of peace; the One free from all faults), so when any one of you sits (during the prayer), let him say: “At-tahiyâtu lillâhi waş-salawâtu waţ-tayyibât, as-salâmu ‘alaika ayyuhan-Nabiyyu wa rahmat-Allâhi wa barakâtuhu. As-salâmu ‘alaina wa ‘ala ‘ibâd illâhiş-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 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 without partners, and I bear witness that Muḥammad is His slave and Messenger).” Then after that let him choose whatever words he wants.” (Ṣaḥīḥ)
