The questioner : In the voluntary prayers, is the sending of blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and the Ibrahimic prayer added to the first tashahhud?
The Shaykh : The voluntary prayers do not have a first tashahhud at all; the first tashahhud is only in the obligatory prayers, in the three-rak'ah and four-rak'ah prayers. It appears that nothing is added to it, but rather when he finishes saying: "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger," he stands up. However, some scholars have said that it is a recommended practice (sunnah) to send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with the transmitted prayer, which is: "O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad, as You sent blessings upon Ibrahim and upon the family of Ibrahim. Indeed, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious. O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad, as You sent blessings upon Ibrahim and upon the family of Ibrahim. Indeed, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious".
The questioner : May Allah reward you, O honorable Shaykh, and may Allah bless you and your knowledge, and benefit the Muslims through you.
