Question:
Some say that the prayer of the one praying in the tashahhud, "Peace be upon you, O Prophet," is specific to the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), whereas after his death, one says "Peace be upon the Prophet." Is this correct?
Answer:
We have referred to this. You heard this statement; it is not correct. It is not correct. The hadith is general: "Say, 'Peace be upon you, O Prophet.'" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not specify a time. He did not say, "In my lifetime." Yes, the one who says, "Do not say 'Peace be upon you, O Prophet,'" holds an anomalous view.
