Question:
He says: I do not read, nor do I write, and I often make mistakes in the tashahhud. Please recite it for me so that perhaps I can memorize it from this device. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) taught it to his Companions, and it is:Sunan an-Nasa'i 1168Sahih (Darussalam) We will repeat it, and perhaps you can write it down.
The presenter: It seems that he does not read or write.
The Shaykh:Sunan an-Nasa'i 1168Sahih (Darussalam) This is for the first and second tashahhud.
The tashahhud is in the first sitting after the second rak'ah, and in the third rak'ah in Maghrib, and in the fourth rak'ah in Zuhr, 'Asr, and 'Isha. Then, after this, you say in the final tashahhud in the third rak'ah of Maghrib, the fourth rak'ah of Zuhr, 'Asr, and 'Isha, and in the Fajr prayer, the Jumu'ah prayer, the two 'Eids, and the prayer for rain, you say after this:Sahih al-Bukhari 3370.
And if you do this also in the first tashahhud; it is also prescribed, and recommended, meaning in the tashahhud after the second rak'ah in Zuhr, 'Asr, Maghrib, and 'Isha, if you send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as mentioned, it is good and prescribed; due to the generality of the hadiths in that matter. The Companions asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), saying: "O Messenger of Allah! Allah has commanded us to send blessings upon you, so how do we send blessings upon you?" Meaning in His saying, the Exalted: [Al-Ahzab:56] -O Allah, send blessings upon him and peace- They asked him; they said: O Messenger of Allah! How do we send blessings upon you? He said: Say: Sahih al-Bukhari 3370 This form is the most complete of the forms that were transmitted, and the most perfect.
And it was transmitted in other wordings shorter than this, and all of them are valid if the believer, male or female, comes with one of them; that suffices. Among them is:Sahih Muslim 405 This is a form.
A third form:Riyad as-Salihin 1407.
The fourth form:Sunan Ibn Majah 903.
If the believer, male or female, comes with one of these valid forms, all is good, and the most complete is the first, the most complete and perfect is the first,Sahih al-Bukhari 3370 in the first and second tashahhud, but in the second, it is obligatory according to a group of scholars, sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the second, in the final tashahhud, is obligatory according to a group of scholars.
So it is recommended that you not leave it, and that you maintain it, then you say after all this in the final tashahhud which is followed by the salam, you say after that:Sahih Muslim 588a.
We repeat it:Sahih Muslim 588a at the end of the prayer, before the salam, and it is recommended to add to this: Sunan Abi Dawud 1522Sahih (Al-Albani); because the Messenger (may Allah send blessings and peace upon him) advised with that -may Allah send blessings and peace upon him- Sunan Abi Dawud 1522Sahih (Al-Albani) before the salam.
Another supplication before the salam:Sahih al-Bukhari 6326 We repeat it: Sahih al-Bukhari 6326.
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) advised Abu Bakr with this supplication, and advised Mu'adh with the supplication before itSunan Abi Dawud 1522Sahih (Al-Albani) and it is an advice for everyone -for all Muslims- his advice to one, his advice for everyone -may Allah send blessings and peace upon him- and all of it is Sunnah, not obligatory, yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
He says: I do not read, nor do I write, and I often make mistakes in the tashahhud. Please recite it for me so that perhaps I can memorize it from this device. May Allah reward you with good.

At-tahiyyatu lillahi was-salawatu wat-tayyibat, as-salamu 'alaika ayyuhan-Nabiyyu wa rahmatAllahi wa baraktuhu. As-salamu 'alaina wa 'ala 'ibad illahis-salihin, ashahdu an la illaha ill-Allah wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan 'abduhu wa rasuluhu (Allah compliments, prayers and pure words are due to Allah. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy of Allah (SWT) and his blessings. Peace be upon us and upon the righteous slaves of Allah (SWT). I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger).

The Companions asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), saying: "O Messenger of Allah! Allah has commanded us to send blessings upon you, so how do we send blessings upon you?" Meaning in His saying, the Exalted:
Indeed, Allah confers blessing upon the Prophet, and His angels [ask Him to do so]. O you who have believed, ask [Allah to confer] blessing upon him and ask [Allah to grant him] peace.
إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَمَلائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيمًاSay: O Allah!

اللهم صل على محمد، وعلى آل محمد، كما صليت على إبراهيم، وعلى آل إبراهيم، إنك حميد مجيد، اللهم بارك على محمد، وعلى آل محمد، كما باركت على إبراهيم، وعلى آل إبراهيم، إنك حميد مجيدAnd it was transmitted in other wordings shorter than this, and all of them are valid if the believer, male or female, comes with one of them; that suffices. Among them is:
