1322. It was narrated that Wâsi' bin Ḥabbân said: "I said to Ibn 'Umar: 'Tell me about the prayer of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ; how was it?' He mentioned the Takbîr and he mentioned: As-salâmu 'alaykum wa rahmatullâh (Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allâh)' to his right and: As-salâmu 'alaykum (Peace be upon you) to his left." (Sahîh)
1321 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ يَعْنِي الدَّرَاوَرْدِيَّ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ يَحْيَى، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ حَبَّانَ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ وَاسِعِ بْنِ حَبَّانَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِابْنِ عُمَرَ: أَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَيْفَ كَانَتْ؟ قَالَ: " فَذَكَرَ التَّكْبِيرَ، قَالَ: يَعْنِي وَذَكَرَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ، السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ "

Some narrations mention only Assalamu 'alaikum. It is sufficient, though the excellent practice of the Prophet ﷺ is to recite it completely. The Prophet ﷺ might have probably uttered more words, considering the significance of the right side. In the narrations of the preceding chapter and in the upcoming narrations, there are similar phrases on both the sides and directions. And Allâh knows best!
