We did not know what to say in the prayer. We used to say, "Peace be upon Allah, peace be upon Jibreel, peace be upon Mikail." So the Prophet ﷺ taught us, saying, "Indeed, Allah Himself is Peace. So when you sit after two units of prayer, say, 'All greetings, prayers, and pure words belong to Allah. Peace be upon you, Prophet, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. Peace be upon us and upon the righteous servants of Allah.'"Abu Waail said in his narration from Abdullah from the Prophet ﷺ, "When you say it, it reaches every righteous servant in the heavens and on earth."Abu Ishaq said in the narration of Abdullah from the Prophet ﷺ, "When you say it, it reaches every angel brought near, every prophet sent as a messenger, or every righteous servant. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and messenger."
حدثنا عبد الرزاق أخبرنا سفيان عن الأعمش ومنصور وحصين بن عبد الرحمن وأبو هاشم وحماد عن أبي وائل وعن أبي إسحاق عن أبي الأحوص والأسود
كنا لا ندري ما نقول في الصلاة نقول السلام على الله السلام على جبريل السلام على ميكائيل قال فعلمنا النبي ﷺ فقال إن الله هو السلام فإذا جلستم في ركعتين فقولوا التحيات لله والصلوات والطيبات السلام عليك أيها النبي ورحمة الله وبركاته السلام علينا وعلى عباد الله الصالحين قال أبو وائل في حديثه عن عبد الله عن النبي ﷺ إذا قلتها أصابت كل عبد صالح في السماء وفي الأرض وقال أبو إسحاق في حديث عبد الله عن النبي ﷺ إذا قلتها أصابت كل ملك مقرب أو نبي مرسل أو عبد صالح أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وأشهد أن محمدا عبده ورسوله
Its chains of transmission are sahih. As for Husayn bin Abdul-Rahman bin Abu Hashim, he is Husayn bin Abdul-Rahman Sulami, the cousin of Mansur bin Mutamir. I have not found anyone who traced his lineage this way, adding "Ibn Abu Hashim" to it, except in this instance. The lineage of Mansur has been recorded as Mansur bin Mutamir bin Abdullah bin Rabia, though it has also been said that he was Mansur bin Mutamir bin Attab bin Farqad. Perhaps their grandfather was known by the kunya Abu Hashim.The explanation of these chains is that Thawri narrated it from Amash, Mansur, Husayn, and Hammad bin Abu Sulayman, all of them from Abu Waail, from Ibn Masud. This hadith is a repetition of numbers 3920 and 4006, with similar wording.
