Ibn Umar reported the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم as saying: The adoration of the tongue are due to Allah, and acts of worship, all good things. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and Allah’s mercy and His blessings. Ibn Umar said: I added:“And Allah’s blessings, peace be upon us, and upon Allah’s upright servants. I testify that there is not god but Allah.“Ibn Umar said: I added to it: He is alone, no one is His associate, and I testify that Muhammad is His servant and His Messenger.

Narrated Abu Musa al-Ashari: Hittan ibn Abdullah ar-Ruqashi said: Abu Musa al-Ashari led us in prayer. When he sat at the end of his prayer, one of the people said: Prayer has been established by virtue and purity. When Abu Musa returned (from his prayer or finished his prayer), he gave his attention to the people, and said: Which of you is the speaker of such and such words? The people remained silent. Which of you is the speaker of such and such words? The people remained silent. He said: You might have said them, Hittan. He replied: I did not say them. I was afraid you might punish me. One of the people said: I said them and I did not intend by them (anything) except good. Abu Musa said: Do you not know how you utter (them) in your prayer? The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم addressed us, and taught us and explained to us our way of doing and taught us our prayer. He said: When you pray a (congregational) prayer, straighten your rows, then one of you should lead you in prayer. When he says the takbir (Allah is Most Great), say the takbir, and when he recites verses "Not of those upon whom is Thy anger, nor of those who err" (i. e. the end of Surah i.), say Amin; Allah will favour you. When he says "Allah is most great, " and bows, say "Allah is most great" and bow, for the imam will bow before you, and will raise (his head) before you. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: This is for that. When he says "Allah listens to the one who praises Him, " say: "O Allah, our Lord, to Thee be praise, Allah be praised, " Allah will listen to you, for Allah, the Exalted, said by the tongue of His Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم : "Allah listens to the one who praises Him. " When he says "Allah is most great" and prostrates, say: "Allah is most great" and prostrate, for the imam prostrates before you and raises his head before you. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: This is for that. When he sits, each one of you should say "The adorations of the tongue, all good things, and acts of worship are due to Allah. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and Allah's mercy and His blessings. Peace be upon us and upon Allah's upright servants. I testify that there is no god but Allah, and I testify that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger. " This version of Ahmad does not mention the words "and His blessings" nor the phrase "and I testify"; instead, it has the words "that Muhammad. "

This tradition has also been transmitted by Hittan bin Abdullah al-Ruqashi through a different chain of narrators. This version adds: When he (the imam) recites the Quran, keep silence (and listen attentively). And in the tashahhud this version adds after the words“I testify that there is no god but Allah”the words“He is alone, and there is no associate of Him. ”Abu Dawud said: His word "And keep silence" is not guarded; it has been narrated by Sulaiman al-Taimi alone in his version.

Ibn Abbas said: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم used to teach us the tashahhud as he would teach us the Quran, and would say: The blessed adoration of the tongue, acts of worship (and) all good things are due to Allah. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and Allah’s mercy and His blessings. Peace be upon us and upon Allah’s upright servants. I testify that there is no god but Allah, and I testify that Muhammad is Allah’s Messenger صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم .

Narrated Samurah ibn Jundub: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم commanded us (to recite) when we sit in the middle of the prayer or at its end before the salutation: The adorations of the tongue, all good things, acts of worship, and the Kingdom are due to Allah. Then give salutation to the right side; then salute your reciter (i. e. the imam) and yourselves. Abu Dawud said: Sulaiman bin Musa hails from Kufah and he lives in Damascus. Abu Dawud said: This collection of traditions indicates that al-Hasan (al-Basri) heard traditions from Samurah (b. Jundub).

Kaab bin Ujrah said: We said or the people said: Messenger of Allah, you have commanded us to invoke blessing on you and to salute you. As regards salutation we have already learnt it. How should we invoke blessing? He said: Say:“O Allah, bless Muhammad and Muhammad’s family as Thou didst bless Abraham and Abraham’s family. O Allah, grant favours to Muhammad and Muhammad’s family as Thou didst grant favours to Abraham; Thou art indeed praiseworthy and glorious.

This tradition has also been reported by Shubah through a different chain of narrators. This version adds: Bless Muhammad and Muhammad’s family as Thou didst bless Abraham.

This has been transmitted by al-Hakam through a different chain of narrators. This version has: O Allah, bless Muhammad and Muhammad’s family as didst bless Abraham. Thou art indeed praiseworthy and glorious. O Allah grant favours of Muhammad and Muhammad’s family as Thou didst grant favour to Abraham’s family. Thou art indeed praiseworthy and glorious. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been narrated by al-Zubair bin Adi as narrated by Mis’ar, except that his version goes: As Thou didst bless Abraham’s family. Thou art indeed praiseworthy and glorious. And grant favours to Muhammad. He then narrated the tradition in full.

Abu Humaid al-Said said: Some people asked: Messenger of Allah, how should we invoke blessings on you? He said: Say, ”O Allah, bless Muhammad, his wives and his off springs, as Thou didst bless Abraham’s family, and grant favours to Muhammad’s family, his wives and off springs, as Thou didst grant favours to Abraham’s family. Thou art indeed praiseworthy and glorious.

Abu Masud al-Ansari said: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم came to us in a meeting of Saad bin Ubadah. Bashir bin Saad said to him: Allah has commanded us to invoke blessings on you, Messenger of Allah. How should we invoke blessings on you? The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم kept silence so much so that we wished he would not ask him. Then the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: Say. He then narrated the tradition like that of Kaab bin Ujrah. This version adds in the end: In the universe, Thou art praiseworthy and glorious.
