The Importance of Salutations

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of saying salutations to Allah and His Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) when sitting.

It was narrated from Hittan bin Abdullah that: They prayed with Abu Musa and he said: "The Messenger of Allah said: 'When you are sitting then let the first words that any of you says be: At-tahiyyatu lillahi was-salawatu wat-tayyibat, as-salamu 'alaika ayyuhan-Nabiyyu wa rahmatAllahi wa baraktuhu. As-salamu 'alaina wa 'ala 'ibad illahis-salihin, ashahdu an la illaha ill-Allah wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan 'abduhu wa rasuluhu (Allah compliments, prayers and pure words are due to Allah. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy of Allah (SWT) and his blessings. Peace be upon us and upon the righteous slaves of Allah (SWT). I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger)".
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الأَشْعَثِ، أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْمِقْدَامِ الْعِجْلِيُّ الْبَصْرِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يُحَدِّثُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي غَلاَّبٍ، - وَهُوَ يُونُسُ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ - عَنْ حِطَّانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّهُمْ صَلَّوْا مَعَ أَبِي مُوسَى فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِذَا كَانَ عِنْدَ الْقَعْدَةِ فَلْيَكُنْ مِنْ أَوَّلِ قَوْلِ أَحَدِكُمُ التَّحِيَّاتُ لِلَّهِ الطَّيِّبَاتُ الصَّلَوَاتُ لِلَّهِ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللَّهِ الصَّالِحِينَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ

This hadith emphasizes the importance of saying salutations to Allah and His Prophet Muhammad ﷺ when sitting. It is narrated from Hittan bin Abdullah that they prayed with Abu Musa and he said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “When you are sitting then let the first words that any of you says be At Tahiyyatu Lillahi Was Salawatu Wat Tayyibat, As Salamu Alaika Ayyuha Nabi Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakatuh, As Salamu Alaina Wa Ala Ibad Illahis Salihin, Ashhad An La Illaha Illallah Wa Ashhad Anna Muhammadan Abduhu Wa Rasuluh”. This phrase translates to “Compliments, prayers and pure words are due to Allah. Peace be upon you O Prophet and mercy of Allah SWT and his blessings. Peace be upon us and upon the righteous slaves of Allah SWT. I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped except for Allah SWT and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger”. It is important for Muslims to remember this phrase as it serves as a reminder for us all to show respect towards our Creator by sending peace upon Him before we start any conversation or activity in our lives.
