The questioner : So what do we derive from the verse: [Al-Ahzab 33:56] the obligation of sending peace?
The Shaykh : The intended meaning here, as it came in the hadith, is this peace upon you, which we have already known. So how do we send prayers upon you? That is, in the tashahhud.
The questioner : So is it understood in the context of the manner of prayer in the tashahhud?
The Shaykh : Yes, exactly.
O you who have believed, ask [Allah to confer] blessing upon him and ask [Allah to grant him]
