Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 402c
This hadith about supplication after tashahhud gives the same main report from Ibn Mas'ud with a wording that includes an extra point. After the tashahhud, the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم taught that a person may choose from requests whatever he wishes or whatever he likes. The narration keeps the same structure: worship is directed to Allah, peace is sent upon the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, peace is included for the worshippers and upright servants, and the testimony of faith is said. For people searching for dua after tashahhud hadith, this report is direct. It shows a place in prayer where supplication is mentioned after the sitting words, without adding any specific extra dua in the text.
