At-taḥiyyātu li-llāhi wa-ṣ-ṣalawātu wa-ṭ-ṭayyibāt. As-salāmu ‘alayka ayyuha-n-Nabiyyu wa raḥmatu-llāhi wa barakātuh, as-salāmu ‘alaynā wa ‘alā ‘ibādi-llāhi-ṣ-ṣāliḥīn, ashhadu an lā ilāha illa-llāh, wa ashhadu anna Muḥammadan ‘abduhu wa Rasūluh.
Context
And we relate from the Sunan of al-Bayhaqī, with a good isnād from al-Qāsim who reported that ‘Ā’ishah 
taught him: “This is the tashahhud of the Messenger of Allah 
: ‘Greetings belong to Allah, and the prayers and good things. 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.’” [4].
References
[4] Sunan al-Bayhaqī (2/144) and al-Futūḥāt (2/327). Ibn Ḥajar states: “The chain for this hadith includes Muḥammad ibn Ṣāliḥ ibn Dīnār, about whom there is a difference of opinion. Aḥmad, Abū Dāwūd and others declare him to be trustworthy, while Abū Ḥātim ar-Rāzī states that his transmission is not strong. Likewise, ad-Dāraquṭnī casts doubts on his reputation, and I could find neither praise nor criticism for his son Ṣāliḥ, who therefore falls into the category of mastūr narrators. I do not know the basis for Imam an-Nawawī describing this chain as good, since al-Bayhaqī states after relating it: ‘ ṣaḥīḥ from ‘Ā’ishah in a mawqūf form’, indicating the irregularity (shudhūdh) of the additional wording. But Allah knows best.”
