Innovated prayers not reported from the Prophet

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q3: Are these prayers reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)? A- O Allah, send prayers, peace, and blessings upon our master Muhammad and his family, in the number of the perfection of Allah, and as befits His perfection.
B- O Allah, send prayers, peace, and blessings upon our master Muhammad and his family, the Opener of what was closed, the Closer of what preceded, the Victor of truth with truth, and the Guide to Your straight path, may Allah send prayers upon him and his family according to the truth of His measure and His great magnitude. C- O Allah, send prayers and peace upon our master Muhammad, the Merciful, the Compassionate, the Great Creator, and upon his family and companions, and peace. D- O Allah, send prayers, peace, and blessings upon our master Muhammad, the Self-Subsisting Light, and the Secret that runs through all the names and attributes. E- O Allah, send prayers, peace, and blessings upon our master Muhammad, the Champion of champions?

A3: The prayers mentioned in the question are religious innovations; they were not reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, has commanded us to send prayers and peace upon the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) with an absolute command in His saying:
Indeed, Allah confers blessing upon the Prophet, and His angels [ask Him to do so]. O you who have believed, ask [Allah to confer] blessing upon him and ask [Allah to grant him] peace.إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَمَلائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيمًا
[Al-Ahzab 33:56]
, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) clarified the manner of sending prayers and peace upon him in authentic hadiths. So the Sunnah is to act in accordance with them, and to beware of the religious innovations that people have introduced in this regard. We advise reviewing the book:
(Jala' al-Afham fi al-Salah wa al-Salam 'ala Khayr al-Anam) by the scholar Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him); because he elaborated on the discussion of that. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions, and peace.
