Saying Atahiyaat In Jalsah
Chapter 14 : THE TASHAHHUD IN PRAYER Book 4, Number 0793: ‘Abdullah (b.Mas’ud) said: While observing prayer behind the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) we used to recite: Peace be upon Allah, peace be upon so and so.One day the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said to us: Verily Allah is Himself Peace.When any one of you sits during the prayer. he should say: All services rendered by words, by acts of worship, and all good things are due to Allah.Peace be upon you, 0 Prophet, and Allah’s mercy and blessings.Peace be upon us and upon Allah’s upright servants, for when he says this it reaches every upright servant in heaven and earth (and say further): I testify that there is no god but Allah and I testify that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger.Then he may choose any supplication which pleases him and offer it. this is from sahih Muslim. Doesn’t it mean that tashahud is a fard part of salah?
