Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 3011 — How the tashahhud in prayer is recited

Al-Qasim bin Mukhaymirah says: Alqamah once took hold of my hand and said: Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) took hold of my hand and said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took hold of my hand and taught me these words of the tashahhud: All verbal worship, physical worship and financial worship are for Allah. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and may the mercy of Allah and His blessings descend upon you. Peace be upon us too, and peace be upon the righteous servants of Allah as well. I bear witness that there is no deity except Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is the servant of Allah and His Messenger.
