1014 - وَ سَأَلَ أَبُو كَهْمَسٍ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنِ اَلرَّكْعَتَيْنِ اَلْأُولَيَيْنِ فَإِذَا جَلَسْتُ فِيهِمَا لِلتَّشَهُّدِ فَقُلْتُ وَ أَنَا جَالِسٌ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا اَلنَّبِيُّ وَ رَحْمَةُ اَللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ اِنْصِرَافٌ هُوَقَالَ «لاَ وَ لَكِنْ إِذَا قُلْتَ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْنَا وَ عَلَى عِبَادِ اَللَّهِ اَلصَّالِحِينَ فَهُوَ اِنْصِرَافٌ.
Hadith.1014 - Abu Kahmas asked Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq 
about the two rak'ahs of prayer when, after sitting in the tashahhud position, he says:
"As-Salamu Alayka Ayyuha An-Nabi wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh"
(Peace be upon you, O’ Prophet, and the mercy of Allah (swt) and His blessings). Is this considered the ending (of the prayer)?
Imam replied: "No, it is not the ending. But when you say 'As-Salamu Alayna wa Ala Ibadillah As-Saliheen' (Peace be upon us and upon the righteous servants of Allah (swt)), that is the ending."
