Is it prescribed to greet the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) every time I pray the obligatory prayer in the Prophet’s Mosque?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I traveled to Madinah with the intention of visiting the mosque, and I stayed for a week. Is it prescribed for me to greet the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) every time I pray the obligatory prayer, or is it sufficient to greet him upon arrival and upon departure?

Answer:
Have you not heard the ruling? No, as long as you greeted him the first time, that is sufficient. Even greeting him upon departure is a matter of consideration, but greeting him upon arrival is prescribed. Yes.
