Tashahhud after the First Two Rak‘at and After the Fourth Rak‘at and Al-Taslim

2ـ وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ حَبِيبٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) أَيَّ شَيْ‏ءٍ أَقُولُ فِي التَّشَهُّدِ وَالْقُنُوتِ قَالَ قُلْ بِأَحْسَنِ مَا عَلِمْتَ فَإِنَّهُ لَوْ كَانَ مُوَقَّتاً لَهَلَكَ النَّاسُ.
2. In another Hadith it is said that it is narrated from Safwan from Mansur from Bakr ibn Habib who has said the following: “I once asked abu Ja‘far عليه السلام, ‘What should I say in Tashahhud (testimonies of belief) and Qunut (supplication after recitation in second Rak‘at)?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Say of the best you know; had it been something definite people would have been destroyed.’”
