It is stated in the book *Jala' al-Afham*: "The family of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) are prayed for without any disagreement..." What is the authenticity of this citation?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I read in the book *Jala' al-Afham* by Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) this statement: "The family of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) are prayed for without any disagreement among the imams." Is this citation correct?

Answer:
Yes, they are prayed for in the final tashahhud, and sometimes they are prayed for along with the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companions, saying: "May Allah send prayers upon him, his family, and his Companions, and grant them peace abundantly." Yes, this is done sometimes. As for limiting it to the family only, saying "May Allah send prayers upon him and his family and grant them peace," then no.
