At-Tashahhudالتَّشَهُّد
HanafiSitting in the final position — reciting At-Tahiyyatu, the greetings brought by the Prophet (peace be upon him) from his Night Journey.
التَّحِيَّاتُ لِلَّهِ وَالصَّلَوَاتُ وَالطَّيِّبَاتُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللَّهِ الصَّالِحِينَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ
At-tahiyyatu lillahi was-salawatu wat-tayyibatu. As-salamu 'alayka ayyuhan-nabiyyu wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. As-salamu 'alayna wa 'ala 'ibadillahis-salihin. Ashhadu an la ilaha illallahu wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan 'abduhu wa rasuluh.
All greetings, all prayers, and all good things belong to Allah. Peace be upon you, O 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, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and messenger.
The Tashahhud was taught by the Prophet ﷺ when he was taken up to the heavens on the Night Journey. He greeted Allah and Allah responded — and these words became the greeting of the prayer for every believer until the Day of Judgment.
