The ruling on adding the word "our master" in the tashahhud and the adhan

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on adding to the tashahhud in the saying
I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah alone, with no partner, and I bear witness thatأشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، وأشهد أن سيدنا محمدا
Sunan Ibn Majah 469


Answer:
"Our master" was not mentioned in what was transmitted; the prayer is for our master, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). There is no doubt that he is the master of creation and the master of the messengers, upon him be peace and blessings. This is without doubt. However, there is still something in the prayer that was not transmitted, and there is still something in the adhan that was not transmitted, and there is still something in the iqamah that was not transmitted. You do not say in the adhan, "I bear witness that our master Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah," and you do not say in the tashahhud, "I bear witness that our master..." What is the elevation? This is the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). I said, "May Allah send prayers upon him." Whoever does a work, he seeks refuge in our father, he is his, but the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is our master. However, the matter is following the evidence. One does not innovate in the prayer, one does not innovate in the adhan, and one does not innovate in the iqamah. Yes.

May Allah reward you
