حَدَّثَنِي يُونُسُ، وَحُجَيْنٌ، قَالا: حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، وَطَاوُسٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُعَلِّمُنَا التَّشَهُّدَ كَمَا يُعَلِّمُنَا الْقُرْآنَ، فَكَانَ يَقُولُ: " التَّحِيَّاتُ الْمُبَارَكَاتُ الصَّلَوَاتُ الطَّيِّبَاتُ لِلَّهِ، السَّلامُ عَلَيْكَ - قَالَ حُجَيْنٌ: سَلامٌ عَلَيْكَ - أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ، سَلَامٌ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللهِ الصَّالِحِينَ، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلا اللهُ، وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ " (١)، ،
