اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ ، قال : حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ ، قال : حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ ، عَنْ حِطَّانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا مُوسَى ، قَالَ : إِنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَطَبَنَا وَبَيَّنَ لَنَا سُنَّتَنَا وَعَلَّمَنَا صَلَاتَنَا فَقَالَ : " إِذَا صَلَّيْتُمْ فَأَقِيمُوا صُفُوفَكُمْ ، ثُمَّ لِيَؤُمَّكُمْ أَحَدُكُمْ فَإِذَا كَبَّرَ الْإِمَامُ فَكَبِّرُوا وَإِذَا قَرَأَ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلا الضَّالِّينَ سورة الفاتحة آية 7 فَقُولُوا : آمِينَ يُجِبْكُمُ اللَّهُ وَإِذَا كَبَّرَ وَرَكَعَ فَكَبِّرُوا وَارْكَعُوا فَإِنَّ الْإِمَامَ يَرْكَعُ قَبْلَكُمْ وَيَرْفَعُ قَبْلَكُمْ قَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : فَتِلْكَ بِتِلْكَ وَإِذَا قَالَ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ فَقُولُوا اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ يَسْمَعِ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ قَالَ عَلَى لِسَانِ نَبِيِّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ فَإِذَا كَبَّرَ وَسَجَدَ فَكَبِّرُوا وَاسْجُدُوا فَإِنَّ الْإِمَامَ يَسْجُدُ قَبْلَكُمْ وَيَرْفَعُ قَبْلَكُمْ قَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَتِلْكَ بِتِلْكَ فَإِذَا كَانَ عِنْدَ الْقَعْدَةِ فَلْيَكُنْ مِنْ أَوَّلِ قَوْلِ أَحَدِكُمُ التَّحِيَّاتُ الطَّيِّبَاتُ الصَّلَوَاتُ لِلَّهِ سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ سَلَامٌ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللَّهِ الصَّالِحِينَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ سَبْعُ كَلِمَاتٍ وَهِيَ تَحِيَّةُ الصَّلَاةِ " .
´It was narrated from Hittan bin 'Abdullah that:` He heard Abu Musa say: "The Prophet of Allah (ﷺ) addressed us and taught us our Sunnah and our prayer. He said: 'When you pray, make your rows straight and let one of you lead you in prayer. When the Imam says the takbir, then say the takbir. When he recites 'Not (the way) of those who earned Your anger, nor those who went astray' then say: "Amin" and Allah will answer you. When he says the takbir and bows, then say the takbir and bow. The Imam bows before you do and stands up before you do.' The Prophet of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'This makes up for that. And when he says: "'Sami Allahu liman hamidah (Allah hears the one who praises Him),' then say: "Allahumma Rabbana wa lakal-hamd (O Allah, our Lord, and to You be the praise), " Allah will hear you, for Allah has said on the lips of His Prophet (ﷺ): "Allah hears the one who praises Him." And when he (the Imam) says the takbir and prostrates, then say the takbir and prostrate. The Imam prostrates before you do and sits up before you do.' The Prophet of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'This makes up for that. And when he is sitting, let the first thing that any one of you says be: At-tahiyaatut-tayyibatus-salawatuLillah, salamun 'alayka ayyuhanabiyyu wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu, salamun 'alayna wa 'ala 'ibadillahis-salihin, ashhadu an la ilaha ill-Allah wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan 'abduhu wa rasuluh (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 there is none worthy of worship except Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger)- seven phrases which are the greeting of the prayer.'"

Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
1065. Commentary:
➊ "Say Ameen": The Hanafis say it should be said quietly because it is a supplication (du'a), and supplication should be made silently. But it is astonishing that the actual supplication is the last part of Surah al-Fatihah (Ameen is only its completion), and that is recited aloud, yet the completion of the supplication should be said quietly. This point is not understandable. It is evident that if the supplication is made aloud, then Ameen should also be said aloud. That is why, when supplication is made outside of prayer, Ameen is said loudly, in fact, even louder. Is it not a supplication at that time? Is supplication only in prayer?
➋ "In exchange": That is, he goes into bowing (ruku') before you, and he also rises that much earlier, and as much as you are late in going into bowing, you also rise that much later. Therefore, your bowing is equal to his bowing.
➌ «التَّحِيَّاتُ الصَّلَوَاتُ الطَّيِّبَاتُ» The literal meaning of Tahiyyah is respect and greeting. When praying for someone's life, it is said: «حیاك اللہ» "May Allah keep you alive and safe for a long time." In addition, it also means greatness and majesty, kingship, perpetuity and survival, and life. Also, by «التَّحِيَّاتُ», verbal acts of worship are also meant. «الصَّلَوَاتُ» Salah means supplication or prayer. Here, it refers to the five daily prayers, or all prayers, or physical acts of worship. «الطَّيِّبَاتُ» refers to every good thing and excellent speech, such as: praise of Allah, remembrance of Allah, and righteous words, etc. Here, it can also mean general righteous deeds and acts of financial worship. And Allah knows best.
➍ You did not mention anything beyond the Tashahhud: From this, it is deduced that only this much is obligatory or necessary. Sending blessings (salat) and supplication beyond this is not obligatory. However, Allah the Exalted has mentioned salat and salam together in the Noble Qur'an. In the mentioned Tashahhud, there is salam but not salat. Equal status demands that after this, salat (sending blessings) is also obligatory. The love and compassion of the Noble Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam for his ummah, and the greatest intercession, require that, if nothing else, at least in his prayer, the right of the Messenger of Mercy and Compassion be fulfilled in the form of sending blessings (salat). Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. This is also the position of Imam Shafi'i rahimahullah.
➎ "Seven words" are as follows:
➊ al-Tahiyyatu
➋ al-Salawatu
➌ al-Tayyibatu
➍ Salamun 'ala al-Nabi
➎ Salamun 'ala al-Salihin
➏ Testimony of Tawhid (Oneness of Allah)
➐ Testimony of Risalah (Prophethood)
