Ending Salah

A: Most of the narrations which are authentically reported from the Prophet (peace be upon him) regarding Taslim is that he (peace be upon him) used to say: “As-salamu ‘alaykum warahmatullah” for both the first Taslim and the second one. However, it is only mentioned in some narrations that the Prophet (peace be upon him) added: “... Wabarakatuh (and His Blessings).” To sum up, the predominant practice of the Prophet (peace be upon him) concerning Taslim which is to be acted upon is that he used only to say: “As-salamu ‘alaykum warahmatullah.”May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
