The place of sending blessings upon the Prophet in the tashahhud

Question:
Do I know that you are negligent, or that you send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?

Answer:
The majority hold that the sending of blessings upon the Prophet is in the final tashahhud, not in the first tashahhud; this is the view of the majority. As for Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him), he holds that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent blessings upon the Prophet in both the first and the final tashahhud.
Because when the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) taught them the first tashahhud, as in the hadith of Ibn Mas'ud , he did not mention sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
He repeats it, he repeats it. If the imam delays in standing up, he repeats the first tashahhud, even though it is not befitting for the imam to delay in the first tashahhud. We said that he should hasten, so it was as if I were sitting on a hot coal, so I answered. Yes.
