Abdullah bin Umar used to recite the tashahhud, saying, "In the name of Allah. Greetings belong to Allah, prayers belong to Allah, pure works belong to Allah. Peace be upon the Prophet, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. Peace be upon us and upon the righteous servants of Allah. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah. I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah."He would say this in the first two units, and when he finished his tashahhud he would supplicate with whatever came to him. When he sat at the end of his prayer, he would recite the tashahhud in the same way, except that he would put the tashahhud first and then supplicate with whatever came to him. When he had finished his tashahhud and wished to give the closing salutation, he would say, "Peace be upon the Prophet, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. Peace be upon us and upon the righteous servants of Allah. Peace be upon you," turning to his right. Then he would return the greeting to the imam, and if anyone on his left greeted him, he would return that greeting as well.
و حدثني عن مالك
أن عبد الله بن عمر كان يتشهد فيقول بسم الله التحيات لله الصلوات لله الزاكيات لله السلام على النبي ورحمة الله وبركاته السلام علينا وعلى عباد الله الصالحين شهدت أن لا إله إلا الله شهدت أن محمدا رسول الله يقول هذا في الركعتين الأوليين ويدعو إذا قضى تشهده بما بدا له فإذا جلس في آخر صلاته تشهد كذلك أيضا إلا أنه يقدم التشهد ثم يدعو بما بدا له فإذا قضى تشهده وأراد أن يسلم قال السلام على النبي ورحمة الله وبركاته السلام علينا وعلى عباد الله الصالحين السلام عليكم عن يمينه ثم يرد على الإمام فإن سلم عليه أحد عن يساره رد عليه
