Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: In the recitation of the tashahhud, the phrase "Peace be upon you, O Prophet" is used in the form of direct address. After the death of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), is it more correct to say "Peace be upon you, O Prophet," or "Peace be upon the Prophet" in the form of indirect address? Please inform us, and may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
One says "Peace be upon you, O Prophet" as it was reported in the authentic hadith, as it was reported in the authentic hadith, and as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taught it to his Companions. He (peace and blessings be upon him) did not restrict this to his lifetime, so there is no harm in saying "Peace be upon you, O Prophet" as it was reported.
