Al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id, from al-Nadr ibn Suwayd, from Zur‘ah, from Abu Basir: Abu Abdillah عليه السلام said: “When you sit in the second rak‘ah, say: ‘Bismi Allah wa billah wa alhamdu lillah wa khayru al-asmai lillah ashhadu an la ilaha illa Allah wahdahu la sharika lah wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan abduhu wa rasuluh arsalahu bil-haqqi bashiran wa nadhiran bayna yadayi al-sa'ah ashhadu annaka ni'ma al-rabb wa anna Muhammadan ni'ma al-rasul Allahumma salli ala Muhammad wa Aali Muhammad wa taqabbal shafaatahu fi ummatih wa irfa darajatah’ (In the Name of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, and by Allah سبحانه وتعالى, and all praise is due to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, and the best of names belong to Allah سبحانه وتعالى. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah سبحانه وتعالى, alone, without any partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم is His servant and His messenger. He سبحانه وتعالى sent him with the truth as a bearer of glad tidings and a warner before the Hour. I bear witness that You سبحانه وتعالى are the best Lord سبحانه وتعالى, and that Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم is the best messenger. O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, send blessings upon Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and the family of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, and accept his intercession for his nation, and raise his rank.) Then you praise Allah سبحانه وتعالى twice or three times, then rise. And when you sit in the fourth (rak‘ah), you say: ‘Bismi Allah wa billah wa alhamdu lillah wa khayru al-asmai lillah ashhadu an la ilaha illa Allah wahdahu la sharika lah wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan abduhu wa rasuluh arsalahu bil-haqqi bashiran wa nadhiran bayna yadayi al-sa'ah ashhadu annaka ni'ma al-rabb wa anna Muhammadan ni'ma al-rasul al-tahiyyatu lillah wa al-salawatu al-tahiratu al-tayyibatu al-zakiyatu al-ghadiyatu al-raihat al-sabi ghat al-na'imatu lillah ma taba wa zaka wa tahura wa khalasa wa safa falillah wa ashhadu an la ilaha illa Allah wahdahu la sharika lah. Wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan abduhu wa rasuluh arsalahu bil-haqqi bashiran wa nadhiran bayna yadayi al-sa'ah ashhadu anna rabbi ni'ma al-rabb wa anna Muhammadan ni'ma al-rasul wa ashhadu anna al-sa'ata atiyatun la rayba fiha wa anna Allah yab'athu man fi al-qubur’” (In the Name of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, and by Allah سبحانه وتعالى, and all praise is due to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, and the best of names belong to Allah سبحانه وتعالى. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah سبحانه وتعالى, alone, without any partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم is His servant and His messenger. He سبحانه وتعالى sent him with the truth as a bearer of glad tidings and a warner before the Hour. I bear witness that You سبحانه وتعالى are the best Lord سبحانه وتعالى, and that Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم is the best messenger. All greetings are for Allah سبحانه وتعالى, and the pure, good, blessed, ascending and descending, complete and delightful prayers are for Allah سبحانه وتعالى whatever is good, pure, purified, sincere, and clear belongs to Allah سبحانه وتعالى and is for Allah سبحانه وتعالى. And I bear witness that there is no god but Allah سبحانه وتعالى, alone, without any partner. And I bear witness that Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم is His servant and His messenger. He سبحانه وتعالى sent him with the truth as a bearer of glad tidings and a warner before the Hour. I bear witness that my Lord سبحانه وتعالى is the best Lord سبحانه وتعالى, and that Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم is the best messenger. And I bear witness “that the Hour is surely coming there is no doubt about it and that Allah سبحانه وتعالى will resurrect those who are in the graves.” All praise is due to Allah سبحانه وتعالى who has guided us to this, and we would not have been guided had Allah سبحانه وتعالى not guided us. All praise is due to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Lord of the worlds." “O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, send blessings upon Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and the family of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, and bless Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and the family of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, and send peace upon Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and the family of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, and have mercy on Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and the family of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, just as You عز وجل sent blessings and bestowed favor and mercy upon Ibrahim عليه السلام and upon the family of Ibrahim عليه السلام, indeed, You عز وجل are Praiseworthy, Glorious. O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, send blessings upon Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and the family of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and Forgive us and our brothers who preceded us in faith, and place not in our hearts any resentment toward those who believe, our Lord عز وجل, indeed You are Kind and Merciful. O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, send blessings upon Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and the family of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, and grant me Paradise by Your سبحانه وتعالى grace and protect me from the Fire. O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, send blessings upon Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and the family of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and forgive the believing men and believing women; And those who enter my house as believers, and the believing men and the believing women, and increase not the wrongdoers except in destruction."‘ Then say: ‘Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy of Allah سبحانه وتعالى and His blessings.’ ‘Peace be upon the Prophets of Allah سبحانه وتعالى and His messengers.’ ‘Peace be upon Jibra’il عليه السلام and Mika’il عليه السلام and the close angels.’ ‘Peace be upon Muhammad ibn Abdillah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, the Seal of the Prophets, there is no prophet after him.’ ‘And peace be upon us and upon the righteous servants of Allah سبحانه وتعالى.’ Then you give the salam (salutation to conclude the prayer).
