The Statement on the Tashahhud: Peace be upon you, O Prophet
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Honorable Shaykh says: It is not permissible to say in the tashahhud, "Peace be upon you, O Prophet," because the phrase "O you" is an address to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his sons. So the supplication is that Allah says, "Peace be upon you."
Answer:
This is an affectation for which Allah has not sent down any authority. The Muslims in all different eras, including the scholars and the hadith scholars, have been coming with this.
