Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عُلِّمَ فَوَاتِحَ الْخَيْرِ وَجَوَامِعَهُ أَوْ جَوَامِعَ الْخَيْرِ وَفَوَاتِحَهُ وَإِنَّا كُنَّا لَا نَدْرِي مَا نَقُولُ فِي صَلَاتِنَا حَتَّى عُلِّمْنَا فَقَالَ قُولُوا التَّحِيَّاتُ لِلَّهِ وَالصَّلَوَاتُ وَالطَّيِّبَاتُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللَّهِ الصَّالِحِينَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ.
English Translation
Abd al-Razzaq told us, Ma'mar told us, from Abu Ishaq, from Abu al-Ahwas, from Ibn Mas'ud, who said: "The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was taught the openings of good and its comprehensive sums - or the comprehensive sums of good and its openings - and we did not know what to say in our prayer until we were taught. He said: 'Say: At-tahiyyatu lillahi wa-s-salawatu wa-t-tayyibat. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. Peace be upon us and upon the righteous servants of Allah. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and messenger.'"
