Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ud
Musnad Abi Ya'la 5135 — he said: When praying behind the Messenger
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا نَقُولُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : سَلَامٌ عَلَى فُلَانٍ ، فَقَالَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ : إِنَّ اللهَ هُوَ السَّلَامُ ، فَإِذَا قَعَدَ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَلْيَقُلِ : التَّحِيَّاتُ لِلهِ ، وَالصَّلَوَاتُ وَالطَّيِّبَاتُ ، السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ ، سَلَامٌ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللهِ الصَّالِحِينَ - فَإِذَا قَالَهَا أَصَابَتْ كُلَّ عَبْدٍ فِي السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ صَالِحٍ - أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ ، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ ، ثُمَّ يَتَخَيَّرُ مِنَ الْمَسْأَلَةِ مَا شَاءَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "When praying behind the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) we used to say: Peace be upon so-and-so. Then one day the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to us: 'Indeed, Allah Himself is al-Salam (Peace). So when any one of you sits in the prayer (in the sitting position), let him say: 'At-tahiyyatu lillahi was-salawatu wat-tayyibatu, as-salamu 'alayka ayyuhan-nabiyyu wa rahmatullah, salamun 'alayna wa 'ala 'ibadillahis-salihin' (All verbal, physical and financial acts of worship are for Allah alone. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy of Allah. Peace be upon us and upon all the righteous servants of Allah), (he (peace and blessings be upon him) said that when the servant says these words, they reach every righteous servant of Allah in the heavens and the earth), (then let him say) 'Ash-hadu an la ilaha illallah, wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan 'abduhu wa rasuluh' (I bear witness that there is no god worthy of worship except Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is His servant and His Messenger). After that he may choose to make whatever supplication he wishes according to his need.'"
