Prayer upon the soul of Muhammad and the body of Muhammad

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: There is a group of people who pray upon the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) using this formula: “O Allah, send blessings upon the soul of Muhammad and send blessings upon the body of Muhammad.” He asks: Is this prescribed?

Answer:
No. Pray upon Muhammad as you have heard in the hadiths; the hadiths have come with this. Pray upon Muhammad
ask [Allah to confer] blessing upon him and ask [Allah to grant him] peace.صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيمًا
[Al-Ahzab 33:56]
What did they pray upon his body, his soul, his clothes, or such things? This is excessive strictness and artificiality. Yes.
