Bayhaqi 2993 — Those who said he intends by the taslim to exit
لِقَوْلِهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَحْلِيلُهَا التَّسْلِيمُ وَلِقَوْلِهِ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ: إِنَّمَا الْأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّاتِ، وَيَنْوِي السَّلَامَ عَلَى الْحَاضِرِينَ وَعَلَى الْحَفَظَةِ وَيَنْوِي الْمَأْمُومُ مَعَ ذَلِكَ الرَّدَّ عَلَى الْإِمَامِ ".
Because of the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "What releases one from it (the prayer) is the salam." And because of his (blessings and peace be upon him) saying: "Actions are only by intentions."
And (the one giving the salam) should intend greeting those present and the guardian angels, and the follower should, along with that, also intend returning the imam's salam.

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو طَاهِرٍ الْفَقِيهُ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْقَطَّانُ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، ثنا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، أنبأ مِسْعَرٌ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْقِبْطِيَّةِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي جَابِرُ بْنُ سَمُرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: كُنَّا إِذَا صَلَّيْنَا خَلْفَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قُلْنَا بِأَيْدِينَا السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ، السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَا بَالُ هَؤُلَاءِ الَّذِينَ يَرْمُونَ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ كَأَنَّهَا أَذْنَابُ الْخَيْلِ الشُّمْسِ، أَمَا يَكْفِي أَحَدَكُمْ أَنْ يَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى فَخِذِهِ ثُمَّ يُسَلِّمَ عَلَى أَخِيهِ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَشِمَالِهِ " ⦗٢٥٧⦘ أَخْرَجَهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ مِسْعَرِ بْنِ كِدَامِ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when we used to pray behind the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), we would say, gesturing with our hands: 'As-salamu alaykum, as-salamu alaykum' (Peace be upon you, peace be upon you). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What is the matter with these people who gesture with their hands like this, as though they were the tails of restive horses? Is it not enough for you that a man places his hand on his thigh and after that gives the salam to his brother on his right and on his left?"
