It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I have been given the eloquent openings of speech, its most comprehensive expressions and its finest essence and conclusions." The narrator says: At this we said: "(O Messenger of Allah,) teach us some of the knowledge that Allah Almighty has taught you." So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taught us the tashahhud.
Imam Abu Bakr bin Abi Shaybah recorded this hadith in his al-Musannaf; its chain contains Abd al-Rahman bin Ishaq al-Wasiti, who is a weak narrator; however, the basic subject of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) being given comprehensive speech (jawami' al-kalim) and teaching the tashahhud is also found in other sahih and reliable hadith.
