Chapter on the Manner of Prayer, Its Description and What is Obligatory and Recommended
عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ اَلْهَاشِمِيِّ عَنْ مَرْوَانَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي كَهْمَسٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلرَّكْعَتَيْنِ اَلْأَوَّلَتَيْنِ إِذَا جَلَسْتُ فِيهِمَا لِلتَّشَهُّدِ فَقُلْتُ وَ أَنَا جَالِسٌ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا اَلنَّبِيُّ وَ رَحْمَةُ اَللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ اِنْصِرَافاً هُوَ قَالَ« لاَ وَ لَكِنْ إِذَا قُلْتَ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْنَا وَ عَلَى عِبَادِ اَللَّهِ اَلصَّالِحِينَ فَهُوَ اَلاِنْصِرَافُ»
From him, from Ahmad ibn Al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Faddal from Ali ibn Ya'qub Al-Hashimi from Marwan ibn Muslim from Abu Kahmas from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, who said:
I asked Imam عليه السلام about the first two rak'ahs, when I sit for the tashahhud and while sitting I say, ‘Peace be upon you, O Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, and the mercy of Allah سبحانه وتعالى and His blessings’, is that considered the dismissal (end of prayer)?” Imam عليه السلام said: "No, but when you say, ‘Peace be upon us and upon the righteous servants of Allah سبحانه وتعالى’, that is the dismissal (end of prayer)."
