408. 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr narrated that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said:
“When he commits Hadath – meaning a man – and he is sitting in the end of his Ṣalāt before saying the Taslīm, then his Ṣalāt is acceptable.” (Ḍaʿf)
Abū ʿĪsā said: The chain for this Ḥdīth is not [that] strong, there is some confusion (Idtirāb) in its chain.
Some of the people of knowledge held views according to this. They said that when a person sits for the duration of the Tashah-hud and commits Hadath before saying the Taslīm then he has completed his Ṣalāt.
Some of the people of knowledge said that when one commits Hadath before saying the Tashah-hud and before the Taslīm he is to repeat his Ṣalāt. This is the view of Ash-Shāfiʿī.
Aḥmad said that if he did not say the Tashah-hud but said the Taslīm then it is acceptable due to the saying of the Prophet ﷺ: “And its Tahlīl is the Taslīm”[1] Also, the Tashah-hud is less significant than that. For, the Prophet ﷺ (in some of his prayers) got up after two Rakʿah without (sitting down for) Tashah-hud.
Ishāq bin Ibrāhīm said that when he says the Tashah-hud but not the Taslīm it is acceptable. He cited as proof the Ḥadīth of Ibn Masʿūd when the Prophet ﷺ taught him the Tashah-hud and said: “When you finish this, then you have done what was required of you.”
Abū 'Eisā said: 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Ziyād [bin An'am] (one of the narrators) is Al-Afrīqī, and he was graded weak by some of the people of Hadīth, among them are Yahya bin Sa'eed Al-Qaṭṭān and Aḥmad bin Ḥanbal.

Commentary
This Hadīth is weak and contrary to other authentic Aḥādīth, which prove that making the final salutation is compulsory.
