حَدَّثَنَا جَمِيلُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ . ح وحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ ، وَهِشَامُ بْنُ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، وَهَذَا حَدِيثُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ ، عَنْ حِطَّانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَطَبَنَا ، وَبَيَّنَ لَنَا سُنَّتَنَا ، وَعَلَّمَنَا صَلَاتَنَا ، فَقَالَ : " إِذَا صَلَّيْتُمْ فَكَانَ عِنْدَ الْقَعْدَةِ ، فَلْيَكُنْ مِنْ أَوَّلِ قَوْلِ أَحَدِكُمْ : التَّحِيَّاتُ الطَّيِّبَاتُ الصَّلَوَاتُ لِلَّهِ ، السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ ، السَّلَامُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللَّهِ الصَّالِحِينَ ، أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ ، سَبْعُ كَلِمَاتٍ هُنَّ تَحِيَّةُ الصَّلَاةِ " .
´It was narrated from Abu Musa Al-Ash’ari:` “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) addressed us and explained the Sunnah for us, and he taught us our prayer. He said: ‘When you perform prayer, and you are sitting, let the first thing you say be: At-Tahiyyatut-tayyibatus-salawatu lillah; as-salamu ‘alayka ayyuhan-Nabiyyu wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu; as-salamu ‘alayna wa ‘ala ‘ibadillahis-salihin. Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan ‘abduhu wa Rasuluhu (All compliments, good words and prayers are due to Allah; peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings; peace be upon us and upon the righteous slaves of Allah. I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger). Seven phrases which are the greeting of the prayer.’”

Benefits and Issues:
➊ The actions and supplications of prayer should be performed in the order in which they have been prescribed. However, in those places where there is evidence that order is not necessary, then maintaining the order is not obligatory.
➋ The reason for mentioning seven sentences is that "al-tahiyyat," "al-salawat," and "al-tayyibat" are all important matters, so they are counted as three separate sentences instead of one. After that, the supplication for the Noble Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) is the fourth sentence, and the supplication for all the believers is the fifth sentence. The two testimonies—"the testimony of the oneness of Allah and the testimony of the Messengership"—comprise the sixth and seventh sentences. And Allah knows best.
➌ For correct faith in tawhid (the oneness of Allah), it is necessary to have faith in both the servitude (‘ubudiyyah) and the messengership (risalah) of Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam). One should neither deny the messengership of the Noble Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) like the disbelievers, nor should one elevate him to the rank of divinity, as the Christians did regarding ‘Isa (alayhis salam), saying that the Messiah is Allah Himself. As the Noble Qur’an states:
“Indeed, they have disbelieved who say, ‘Allah is the Messiah, the son of Mary.’”
