Chapter on the Description of Prayer

Primary text
When no women are present, it is recommended that the Imam sits only for the duration required to say: 'Allahumma Anta as-Salam, wa minka as-salam, tabarakta ya Dhal-Jalali wal-Ikram' (O Allah, You are Peace, and from You is Peace, Blessed are You, O Possessor of Majesty and Honor). This is evidenced by the report from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) regarding the practice of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him).
