What is the ruling on reciting the Tashahhud in this manner: " التحيات لله، والصلوات الطيبات، السلام عليك أيها النبي، السلام علينا وعلى عباد الله الصالحين، أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله، وأشهد أن محمدًا رسول الله" (All greetings are for Allah, and all prayers and goodly things. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and peace be upon us and upon the righteous servants of Allah. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah)?
The Prophet (peace be upon him) transmitted several authentic versions of the Tashahhud, and scholars have agreed on the permissibility of each version. The version mentioned contains an omission and an addition, and scholars have differed on whether this invalidates the prayer. It is necessary to perfect the Tashahhud and not omit anything from it, in order to avoid disagreement.
