عَنْ وَاسِعٍ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ عَنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ كُلَّمَا وَضَعَ وَكُلَّمَا رَفَعَ، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ: السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَى يَمِينِهِ، السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَلَى يَسَارِهِ
When Janab Wasi’ asked Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: Whenever you would go down or rise up, you would say Allahu Akbar, then to the right side you would say: As-Salamu ‘Alaikum wa Rahmatullah, and to the left side you would say: As-Salamu ‘Alaikum.
