The Prayer upon the Prophet in the First Tashahhud

The questioner:
May Allah answer you. You said in your book regarding the manner of the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) prayer.

The Shaykh:
By Allah. I said there is no harm in praying upon the Prophet in the first tashahhud, there is no harm. It is recommended, yes, there is no harm, it is recommended. And the manner of this page. Ibn Malik. I discovered. You illustrated this for me. So the tashahhud. Upon Muhammad and upon Muhammad as You blessed Ibrahim and upon Ibrahim, like the last one.

The questioner:
So the first tashahhud is established, and may Allah prolong your life, in this.

The Shaykh:
Yes, because the Companions said: O Messenger of Allah, Allah has commanded us to pray upon you, so how do we pray upon you? And he did not say in the first tashahhud or in the last one; they generalized, so he said: and so on, and he did not say to them in the last tashahhud, but he left it open for them in all of them. As for the supplications, “O Allah, protect us from the punishment of the Hellfire” and so on, and the other supplications in the last tashahhud, and as for the prayer upon the Prophet in the first and the last, this is the correct view. Yes. I do not know if it is also... It does not harm, it is recommended. If he recites and stands up after “I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah” when he stands for the third rak'ah, it does not harm, there is no blame on him, but does he pray upon the Prophet or not? Yes. Is there a reward for reciting the Qur'an?
