The ruling on adding the words "al-Ahl" (his family) and "al-Sahabah" (his Companions) when sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if the one praying sends blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and mentions his noble Companions along with his family, saying "and his family and his Companions,"

Answer:
this would be contrary to the position of the Shi'ah, but this specific formulation was not transmitted.
O you who have believed, ask [Allah to confer] blessing upon him and ask [Allah to grant him] peace.يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيمًا
[Al-Ahzab 33:56]
So you say: "May Allah send blessings upon him and grant him peace," and this is what is found in the books of the Muslims from ancient times. And his hadith, yes.
