A similar narration is reported from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him), which is sahih on the condition of Imam Muslim. Imam al-Hakim says: A narrator in its chain made an error, but the original text is the one mentioned earlier.

Sayyiduna Mihjan bin al-Adra' (may Allah be pleased with him) relates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entered the mosque, and there was a man who, having prayed, was making this supplication in the tashahhud: 'Allahumma inni as'aluka billahil-Ahadis-Samad, alladhi lam yalid wa lam yulad, wa lam yakun lahu kufuwan ahad, an taghfira li dhunubi, innaka antal-Ghafurur-Rahim' (O Allah, I ask You by virtue of Your being One and Self-Sufficient, the One who neither begot nor was begotten, and to whom no one is equal, that You forgive my sins; indeed You alone are the Most Forgiving, the Most Merciful). On hearing this, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said three times: "He has been forgiven, he has been forgiven, he has been forgiven." This hadith is sahih on the condition of the two Shaykhs, but they did not record it.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) relates: It is the Sunnah that the tashahhud be recited quietly (silently). This hadith is sahih on the condition of Muslim, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud Uqbah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came and sat in front of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) while we were with him, and said: O Messenger of Allah, as for sending salam upon you, we have learned (how to do) it, but when we send blessings upon you in our prayers, how should we send blessings upon you, may Allah send His blessings upon you? The narrator says: He (peace and blessings be upon him) remained silent until we wished that the man had not asked him this question. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When you send blessings upon me, say: 'Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammadin an-Nabiyyil-ummiyyi wa 'ala ali Muhammad, kama sallayta 'ala Ibrahima wa 'ala ali Ibrahim, wa barik 'ala Muhammadin an-Nabiyyil-ummiyyi wa 'ala ali Muhammad, kama barakta 'ala Ibrahima wa 'ala ali Ibrahim, innaka Hamidun Majid' (O Allah, send Your mercy upon Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), the unlettered Prophet, and upon his family, as You sent Your mercy upon Ibrahim (peace be upon him) and upon his family; and send Your blessings upon Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), the unlettered Prophet, and upon his family, as You sent Your blessings upon Ibrahim (peace be upon him) and upon his family; indeed You alone are Praiseworthy and Most Glorious)." This hadith is sahih on the condition of Muslim, but the two Shaykhs did not record it with the mention of sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the prayers.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Fadalah bin Ubayd al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a man who prayed but neither praised and glorified Allah Almighty (in it) nor sent blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he finished the prayer and turned away. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This man has been hasty." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) called him and said, addressing him or someone else: "When one of you prays, let him begin with the praise and glorification of his Lord, then let him send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and after that let him supplicate for whatever he wishes." This hadith is sahih on the condition of the two Shaykhs, and there is no hidden defect ('illah) in it that affects its authenticity, yet they did not record it. It also has a sahih supporting narration (shahid) on the condition of both of them.

Abu al-Ahwas and Abu Ubaydah (may Allah have mercy on them both) relate that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: A man should (in prayer) first recite the tashahhud, then send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and after that supplicate for himself. This hadith has also been narrated as a statement of the Prophet from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) with a sahih chain in which one narrator is left unnamed.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When one of you recites the tashahhud in prayer, let him say: 'Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammadin wa 'ala ali Muhammad, wa barik 'ala Muhammadin wa 'ala ali Muhammad, warham Muhammadan wa ala Muhammad, kama sallayta wa barakta wa tarahhamta 'ala Ibrahima wa 'ala ali Ibrahim, innaka Hamidun Majid' (O Allah, send Your mercy upon Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and upon his family, send Your blessings upon Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and upon his family, and have mercy on Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and his family, as You sent mercy, blessings and compassion upon Ibrahim (peace be upon him) and upon his family; indeed You alone are Praiseworthy and Most Glorious)." And there are many supporting narrations for this principle concerning the obligatory parts of prayer.

Abd al-Muhaymin bin Abbas bin Sahl al-Sa'idi narrates from his father, who narrates from his grandfather, that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say: "There is no prayer for one who has no ablution, there is no ablution for one who did not mention the name of Allah (say Bismillah) over it, and there is no (complete) prayer for one who did not send blessings upon the Prophet of Allah in his prayer." This hadith is not on the condition of the two Shaykhs, because they did not record the narrations of Abd al-Muhaymin.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that in the first two rak'ahs (of the prayer) the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would sit (for the tashahhud so briefly) as though he were sitting on heated stones. The narrator says: We asked: Until he stood up? He said: Yes, until he stood up. Mis'ar also narrated it from Sa'd bin Ibrahim.

(A narration reported in support of the previous hadith.) This hadith is sahih on the condition of the two Shaykhs, but they did not record it, although both of them agreed on recording, through the chain of Amr bin Murrah, the hadith of Abu Ubaydah from Abdullah (bin Mas'ud) that he was not with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on the Night of the Jinn.
