حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، وَطَاوُسٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُعَلِّمُنَا التَّشَهُّدَ كَمَا يُعَلِّمُنَا الْقُرْآنَ فَكَانَ يَقُولُ " التَّحِيَّاتُ الْمُبَارَكَاتُ الصَّلَوَاتُ الطَّيِّبَاتُ لِلَّهِ سَلاَمٌ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ سَلاَمٌ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللَّهِ الصَّالِحِينَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ صَحِيحٌ . وَقَدْ رَوَى عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ الرُّؤَاسِيُّ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ اللَّيْثِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ . وَرَوَى أَيْمَنُ بْنُ نَابِلٍ الْمَكِّيُّ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ وَهُوَ غَيْرُ مَحْفُوظٍ . وَذَهَبَ الشَّافِعِيُّ إِلَى حَدِيثِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فِي التَّشَهُّدِ .
Ibn 'Abbas Narrated from:
Allah'S Messenger Would Teach Us The Tashah-Hud Just As He Would Teach Us The Qur'An. He Would Say: (At-Tahiyyatu, Al Mubarakatu, As-Salawatu At-Tayyibatulillah. Salamun Alaika Ayyuhan-Naibiyyu Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu, Salamun Alaina Wa Ala Ibadalillahis-Salihin. Ashhadu An La Ilaha Illallah, Wa Ashhadu Anna Muhammadan Abduhu Wa Raduluh.) 'All Greetings, Goodness, Prayers, And Pure Words Are For Allah. Peace Be Upon You O Prophet, And Allah'S Mercy And His Blessings, Peace Be Upon Us And All Of The Righteous Worshippers Of Allah. I Testify That There Is None Worthy Of Worship Except Allah, And I Testify That Muhammad Is Allah'S Worshipper And Messenger.'
