Strengthening the Ummah

When we prayed with the Prophet (ﷺ) we used to say: As-Salam be on Allah from His worshipers, As-
Salam be on Gabriel, As-Salam be on Michael, As-Salam be on so-and-so. When the Prophet (ﷺ) finished
his prayer, he faced us and said, "Allah Himself is As-Salam (Peace), so when one sits in the prayer,
one should say, 'at-Tahiyatu-li l-lahi Was-Salawatu, Wat-Taiyibatu, As-Salamu 'Alaika aiyuhan-
Nabiyyu wa Rah-matul-iahi wa Barakatuhu, As-Salamu 'Alaina wa 'ala 'Ibadillahi assalihin, for if he
says so, then it will be for all the pious slave of Allah in the Heavens and the Earth. (Then he should
say), 'Ash-hadu an la ilaha illalllahu wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan `Abduhu wa rasulu-hu,' and
then he can choose whatever speech (i.e. invocation) he wishes " (See Hadith No. 797, Vol. 1).
