Hadith on Salat: The Prophet ends prayer with peace, mercy

Wa’il ibn Hujr reported: I prayed with the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and he would end by invoking peace on his right side, saying, “Peace be upon you, the mercy of Allah, and His blessings,” and again to his left side, saying, “Peace and mercy of Allah be upon you.”
