The ruling on making a mistake in the wording of the prayer upon the Prophet

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
One of the followers says in his question: I realized that in the final tashahhud, when praying upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I say “O Allah, and bless upon Muhammad” instead of “O Allah, bless upon Muhammad” as in the correct wording. He asks: Is it obligatory for me to repeat the prayers because I made a mistake in the prayer upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?

Answer:
Your prayer is valid, and it is not obligatory for you to repeat it, for you have performed the sufficient amount of the prayer upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). As for the most complete wording, it is as reported:
O Allah! Send Your Mercy on Muhammad and on the family of Muhammad, as You sent Your Mercy on Abraham and on the family of Abraham, for You are the Most Praise-worthy, the Most Glorious. O Allah! Send Your Blessings on Muhammad and the family of Muhammadاللهم صل على محمد وعلى آل محمد كما صليت على إبراهيم وعلى آل إبراهيم إنك حميد مجيد اللهم بارك على محمد وعلى آل محمد
Sahih al-Bukhari 3370
as You sent your Blessings on Abraham and on the family of Abraham, for You are the Most Praise-worthy, the Most Glorious.كما باركت على إبراهيم وعلى آل إبراهيم إنك حميد مجيد
Sahih al-Bukhari 3370
.
The prayer upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the final tashahhud is obligatory, and the Muslim should perform it, even if with a concise wording. However, the most complete and best is to say it with the most complete wording, for it contains great virtue and good, and his supplication after it will be answered by the permission of Allah. Yes.
