(a) Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) reports from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) concerning the tashahhud that he said: "All verbal, physical and financial acts of worship are for Allah. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy of Allah too." Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: I added 'wa barakatuh' (and His blessings) to it. "Peace be upon us and upon all the righteous servants of Allah. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah." Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: I added 'wahdahu la sharika lah' (alone, without any partner) to it. "And I bear witness that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is the servant of Allah and His Messenger."
(b) Ibn Abi Adi narrated this from Shu'bah. He narrated it as mawquf (stopping at the Companion) and said: In his (peace and blessings be upon him) lifetime we used to say: 'As-salamu alayka ayyuhan-Nabiyyu wa rahmatullah' (Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy of Allah). When he passed away, we began to say: 'As-salamu alan-Nabiyyi wa rahmatullah' (Peace be upon the Prophet and the mercy of Allah).
In another narration reported from Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), 'lillah' (for Allah) comes later, that is: 'At-tahiyyatu lillahi was-salawatu wat-tayyibat' (All verbal, physical and financial acts of worship are for Allah), and it also has the addition of 'wa barakatuh'.
Muhammad bin Isma'il al-Bukhari held that the narration of Sayf from Mujahid from Abu Ma'mar from Abdullah bin Mas'ud is the preserved one (mahfuz), rather than the narration of Abu Bishr. And Allah Almighty knows best.
