The Most Authentic Form of the Tashahhud
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Our sister asks and says: I have read different forms of the tashahhud; which is the most authentic?
If you would please.
Answer:
The most authentic of these is what is established in the hadith of Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) in the two Sahihs: that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taught the Companions to say in the tashahhud at the end of the prayer:Sunan an-Nasa'i 1171Sahih (Darussalam) This is the most authentic of what has been reported regarding that. Then it is prescribed for them to send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) after this, saying: Sahih al-Bukhari 3370.
Then it is prescribed for him to seek refuge from four things, saying:Sunan Ibn Majah 909Sahih (Darussalam).
Then he supplicates with whatever he loves of the good of this world and the Hereafter, and asks Allah for the good of this world and the Hereafter. And if one performs the tashahhud in other forms that are authentic from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), there is no harm; it is all good, and it is all sufficient.
Among them is the hadith of Ibn Abbas in Muslim's Sahih:Sunan an-Nasa'i 1174Sahih (Darussalam) to the end, yes.

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
التحيات لله، والصلوات والطيبات، السلام عليك أيها النبي ورحمة الله وبركاته، السلام علينا وعلى عباد الله الصالحين، أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله، وأشهد أن محمدًا عبده ورسولهSay: O Allah! Send Your Mercy on Muhammad and on the family of Muhammad, as You sent Your Mercy on Abraham and on the family of Abraham, for You are the Most Praise-worthy, the Most Glorious. O Allah! Send Your Blessings on Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as You sent your Blessings on Abraham and on the family of Abraham, for You are the Most Praise-worthy, the Most Glorious.
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 مجيدThen it is prescribed for him to seek refuge from four things, saying:
let him seek refuge with Allah from four things: From the torment of Hell, from the torment of the grave, from the trials of life and death, and from the Fitnah (tribulation) of Masihud-Dajjal.
أعوذ بالله من عذاب جهنم، ومن عذاب القبر، ومن فتنة المحيا والممات، ومن فتنة المسيح الدجالThen he supplicates with whatever he loves of the good of this world and the Hereafter, and asks Allah for the good of this world and the Hereafter.
