Context

In this there is a great benefit, which is that his tashahhud Honorific symbol is in the wording of our tashahhud. We relate in the Muwaṭṭa’ of Mālik, the Sunan of al-Bayhaqī, and others with a ṣaḥīḥ isnād from ‘Abd ar-Raḥmān ibn ‘Umar al-Qāriyy—with a doubled yā’—that he heard ‘Umar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb Honorific symbol say, while he was on the minbar teaching the people the tashahhud: “Greetings belong to Allah. Pure actions belong to Allah. Good words and prayers belong to Allah. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy and blessings of Allah. 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 Muḥammad is His slave and Messenger.” [5].
