اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ أَبُو قُدَامَةَ السَّرْخَسِيُّ ، قال : حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، قال : حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ ، قال : حَدَّثَنِي قَتَادَةُ ، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ ، عَنْ حِطَّانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، أَنَّ الْأَشْعَرِيّ قال : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَطَبَنَا فَعَلَّمَنَا سُنَّتَنَا وَبَيَّنَ لَنَا صَلَاتَنَا فَقَالَ : " أَقِيمُوا صُفُوفَكُمْ ، ثُمَّ لِيَؤُمَّكُمْ أَحَدُكُمْ فَإِذَا كَبَّرَ فَكَبِّرُوا وَإِذَا قَالَ وَلا الضَّالِّينَ سورة الفاتحة آية 7 فَقُولُوا آمِينَ يُجِبْكُمُ اللَّهُ وَإِذَا كَبَّرَ الْإِمَامُ 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 رَبَّنَا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ يَسْمَعِ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَالَ عَلَى لِسَانِ نَبِيِّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ ثُمَّ إِذَا كَبَّرَ الْإِمَامُ 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 أَحَدِكُمْ أَنْ يَقُولَ 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 " .
´It was narrated from Hittan bin 'Abdullah that Al-Ash'ari said:` "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) addressed us and taught us our Sunnahs and our prayer. He said: 'Make your rows straight, then let one of you lead the others. When he says the takbir, then say the takbir; when he says: "Wa lad-dallin" then say "Amin" and Allah (SWT) will answer you. When the Imam says the takbir and bows, then say the takbir and bow, for the Imam bows before you and stands up before you.' The Prophet of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'This makes up for that. When he says: 'Sami Allahu liman hamidah (Allah hears the one who praises Him), say: "Rabbana wa lakal-hamd (Our Lord, to You be praise)," Allah (SWT) will hear you, for indeed Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, has said on the tongue of His Prophet (ﷺ): "Allah hears the one who praises Him." Then when the Imam says the takbir and prostrates, say the takbir and prostrate, for the Imam prostrates before you and rises before you.' The Prophet of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'This makes up for that. Then when you are sitting, let the first thing that any one of you says be: At-tahiyyatu lillahi was-salawatu wat-tayyibat, as-salamu 'alaika ayyuhan-Nabiyyu wa rahmatAllahi wa baraktuhu. As-salamu 'alaina wa 'ala 'ibad illahis-salihin, ashahdu an la illaha ill-Allah wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan 'abduhu wa rasuluhu (Allah compliments, prayers and pure words are due to Allah. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy of Allah (SWT) and his blessings. Peace be upon us and upon the righteous slaves of Allah (SWT). I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger)."

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)
