Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَنْ تَشَهُّدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي وَسَطِ الصَّلَاةِ وَفِي آخِرِهَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ النَّخَعِيُّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ عَلَّمَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ التَّشَهُّدَ فِي وَسَطِ الصَّلَاةِ وَفِي آخِرِهَا فَكُنَّا نَحْفَظُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حِينَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَّمَهُ إِيَّاهُ قَالَ فَكَانَ يَقُولُ إِذَا جَلَسَ فِي وَسَطِ الصَّلَاةِ وَفِي آخِرِهَا عَلَى وَرِكِهِ الْيُسْرَى 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 قَالَ ثُمَّ إِنْ كَانَ فِي وَسَطِ الصَّلَاةِ نَهَضَ حِينَ يَفْرُغُ مِنْ تَشَهُّدِهِ وَإِنْ كَانَ فِي آخِرِهَا دَعَا بَعْدَ تَشَهُّدِهِ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَدْعُوَ ثُمَّ يُسَلِّمَ.
English Translation
Ya'qub said: my father told me, from Ibn Ishaq, who said: I was told, concerning the tashahhud of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in the middle of the prayer and at its end, by Abdul Rahman ibn al-Aswad ibn Yazid al-Nakha'i, from his father, from Abdullah ibn Mas'ud, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) taught me the tashahhud in the middle of the prayer and at its end, and we used to memorize it from Abdullah when he told us that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had taught it to him. He said: He would say, when sitting in the middle of the prayer and at its end upon his left hip, "All greetings are for Allah, and all prayers and good things. 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." He said: Then, if it was the middle of the prayer, he would rise upon finishing his tashahhud; and if it was the end of it, he would supplicate after his tashahhud as much as Allah willed him to supplicate, then give the salutation of peace.
