Attahiyat and Tashahhud Narrated in Hadeeth from The Prophet

Attahiyyat and Tashahhud:The wordings for the Attahiyyat and Tashahhud and the blessings on the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) that have been narrated in reports are many and various.

It is best for the Muslim to recite all of them, saying it in one form on one occasion and in another form on another occasion, and so on, so that he will have done all the Sunnahs.

He should not limit himself only to some of them. But if that is too hard for him, then he should stick to what he is able to do, and there is no sin on him (Insha Allaah).

There follow some of the versions of the Attahiyyat and Tashahhud and blessings on the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that have been narrated in proven reports from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) in the prayer.

1-Attahiyyat and Tashahhud Bin Masood and Bin Umar

Abdullah bin Mas’ud narrated:
“Allah’s Messenger taught us, that when we sit for every two Rak’ah we should say, “At-Tahyyatulillah, was-salawatu wattayybaat. As-salamu alaika ayyuhannabiyyu wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu, as-salamu alaina wa ala ibadillahis-salihin. Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah wa ashadu anna Muhammadan abduhu wa Rasuluh.”

(All greetings, prayers, and pure words are Allah. Peace be upon you O Prophet, and Allah’s mercy and His blessings. Peace be upon us and all of the righteous worshippers of Allah. I testify that nne has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and I testify that Muhammad is Allah’s servant and Messenger.)

{Jami` at-Tirmidhi 289, Book 2, Hadith 141}

2-Attahiyyat and Tashahhud Bin Abbas

Abdullah Ibn Abbas narrated:
“Allah’s Messenger would teach us the Tashah-hud just as he would teach us the Qur’an. He would say, “At-Tahiyyatu, al mubarakatu, as-salawatu at-tayyibatu Lillah. Salamun alaika, ayyuhan-naibiyyu wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuhu, salamun alaina wa ala ibadalillahis-salihin. Ash’hadu an la ilaha illallahu, wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan abduhu wa Rasuluh.”

(All greetings, goodness, prayers, and pure words are for Allah. Peace be upon you O Prophet, and Allah’s mercy and His blessings, Peace be upon us and all of the righteous worshippers of Allah. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and I testify that Muhammad is Allah’s worshipper and Messenger.)

{Jami` at-Tirmidhi 290 ,Book 2, Hadith 142}

3-Attahiyyat and Tashahhud Of Umar

The tashahhud of ‘Umar was recited by him on the minbar in order to teach the people: “At-tahiyyaatu Lillaahi, az-zaakiyaatu Lillaahi, al-tayyibaatu Lillaahi, al-salawaatu Lillaahi. As-salaamu ‘alayka ayyuha’n-Nabiyyu wa rahmat-Allaahi wa barakaatuhu. As-salaamu ‘alayna wa ‘alaa ‘ibaad-Illaah is-saaliheen. Ash-hadu an laa ilaaha ill-Allaah wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan ‘abduhu wa rasooluhu

(All compliments are due to Allaah, all pure things are due to Allaah, all pure words are due to Allaah, all prayers are due to Allaah. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy of Allaah and His blessings. Peace be upon us, and on the righteous slaves of Allaah. I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped except Allaah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger).
