Hadith.1014 - Abu Kahmas asked Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) about the two rak'ahs of prayer when, after sitting in the tashahhud position, he says:
"As-Salamu Alayka Ayyuha An-Nabi wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh"
(Peace be upon you, O’ Prophet, and the mercy of Allah (swt) and His blessings). Is this considered the ending (of the prayer)?
Imam (as) replied: "No, it is not the ending. But when you say 'As-Salamu Alayna wa Ala Ibadillah As-Saliheen' (Peace be upon us and upon the righteous servants of Allah (swt)), that is the ending."
