Is there a difference between sending blessings and peace upon the Messenger of Allah and sending blessings upon the other prophets in terms of the wording and the ruling?

Al-Halabi : In the wording, it is "peace be upon him."

The Shaykh : I do not see a difference between the two types of sending blessings, between sending blessings upon our Prophet and sending blessings upon the prophets before him; the difference is only in the ruling.
Al-Halabi : In terms of whether it is obligatory or recommended.

The Shaykh : Yes, because as you know, the essence of the attribute of sending blessings is in the sense of supplication. Therefore, it came in the authentic hadith in al-Bukhari: , and in the hadith of Ahmad: . In this general sense, if a Muslim uses it regarding all the prophets, and sends blessings and peace upon them, there is no harm or sin in it. The custom of the scholars, regarding Muslims today, is not to send blessings upon them, so that there is no confusion. Otherwise, if a person supplicates between himself and his Lord and says, "O Allah, send blessings upon so-and-so," there is absolutely no obstacle. So I see that this distinction has no basis. Yes.

The questioner : But I do not follow it with "peace be upon him." did not say "and peace be upon him." Is it permissible to shorten it to "O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad"?

The Shaykh : What does this have to do with that? He is supplicating with the formula of sending blessings upon an individual among his Companions. The issue is not about sending blessings upon an individual among them.

The questioner : The peace upon the Messenger is not shortened; it must be followed by "peace be upon him."

The Shaykh : It is better.
