Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In Sahih al-Bukhari, from the hadith of Ibn Mas'ud, after he narrated the hadith of the tashahhud, he said:
during the lifetime of the Prophet (ﷺ) , but when he had died, we used to say, "Peace be on the Prophet."وهو بين ظهرانينا فلما قبض قلنا السلام
Sahih al-Bukhari 6265
upon the Prophet. Is there any Companion who disagreed with Ibn Mas'ud on this statement?

Answer:
This is the opinion of Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him). This is an opinion; he did not say that the Messenger ordered us to say this after his death. He did not mention that; rather, he mentioned that it was their action and their independent legal reasoning. The Sunnah is the proof, not the independent legal reasoning of any one person. The Sunnah is the proof. Yes.
