Is it permissible to abbreviate the prayer upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with the letter (S) when mentioning his name?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: He placed the letter Sad after it. After the name of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is mentioned, abbreviated, is this permissible?

Answer:
No, it is not permissible. One says "sallallahu alayhi wa sallam," writing it and pronouncing it, and does not make it just a Sad, because some people assume that the name of the Messenger is Sad. Some people say "Sallam," so the one who comes after thinks that the name of the Messenger is Sallam. Yes.
