Shaqīq Abū Wāʾil

Related to us: Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn ʿUmar; he said: related to us: al-Makkī ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Yūsuf Abū Yaḥyā al-Kirmānī at al-Nasīrjān; he said: related to us: Muḥammad ibn Abī Yaʿqūb; he said: related to us: Ḥassān ibn Ibrāhīm, from Abū Ḥanīfa and Ibrāhīm al-Ṣāʾigh, from Ḥammād ibn Abī Sulaymān, from Shaqīq Abū Wāʾil—may God have mercy on them—from Ibn Masʿūd—may God be pleased with him—who said: When we prayed with the Prophet, peace be upon him, we used to say, on sitting at the end of the prayer: “Peace be upon God; peace be upon the Messenger of God; peace be upon His angels,” naming angels. The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: “Do not say it like this. Say: ‘Greetings, prayers and good things belong to God. Peace be upon you, Prophet, and God’s mercy and blessings. Peace be upon us and upon God’s righteous servants. I testify that there is no god but God, and I testify that Muḥammad is His servant and Messenger.’”

Jaʿfar ibn Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad al-Baghdādī related to us. He said: Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyā al-Azdī Abū ʿAbd Allāh related to us, from Hārūn ibn al-Mughīra al-Rāzī. He said: Abū Ḥanīfa related to us, from Ḥammād, from Shaqīq ibn Salama—God have mercy on them—from Ibn Masʿūd, God be pleased with him, who said: When we sat at the end of prayer, we used to say: “Peace be upon God; peace be upon the Messenger of God; peace be upon His angels,” naming them. The Messenger of God said to us: “Say: ‘Greetings belong to God, as do prayers and good things. Peace be upon you, Prophet, and God’s mercy and blessings. Peace be upon us and upon God’s righteous servants. I bear witness that there is no god but God, and I bear witness that Muḥammad is His servant and Messenger.’”
