The ruling on repeating the prayer upon the Prophet whenever he is mentioned in the gathering

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh. A questioner says: If the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is mentioned in a gathering several times, is it obligatory for the listeners and the speaker to send blessings and peace upon him every time, or is it sufficient to do so the first time, and the remaining times are permissible? Yes, yes.

Answer:
It is not obligatory except in the places where the command to pray upon him has come, such as the final tashahhud of the prayer when he is mentioned (peace and blessings be upon him), and such as the prayer upon him in the sermons; this is obligatory. As for what is other than this, it is recommended. And the more you increase in praying and sending peace upon the Messenger, the more your reward increases. He said (peace and blessings be upon him)
He who blesses me once, Allah would bless him ten times.من صلى علي واحدة صلى الله عليه بها عشرا
Sahih Muslim 408
. And one of the Companions asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), saying to him: “Shall I make all my prayer for you?” until he said
I said: 'Should I make all of my Salat for you?' He said: 'Then your problems would be solved and your sins would be forgiven.'"أجعل لك صلاتي كلها؟ قال إذا تكفى همك ويغفر ذنبك
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2457Da'if (Darussalam)
meaning that whenever he increases in the prayer upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), his reward and his wage increase. Do not deprive yourself of praying and sending peace upon him in the gathering more than once; it is an increase in good and an increase in reward.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you
