Does adding the word "and His blessings" in the prayer diminish the prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
When praying the regular voluntary prayers, I say "peace be upon you and Allah's mercy and His blessings" when saying the closing salam. Does adding the word "and His blessings" diminish the prayer? Is it permissible? "Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy and His blessings."

Answer:
This is based on the practice of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and it is what the Companions practiced: "Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy." As for adding "and His blessings," this was reported in some narrations, but it is better to leave it out, because the practice of restricting it to "and Allah's mercy" is what the Muslims practiced. This is what is established from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
