The questioner : Is it recommended to complete the Ibrahimi prayer in the first tashahhud?
The Shaykh : Some scholars hold that it is better to recite the prayer upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the first tashahhud exactly as it is in the final tashahhud. Others hold that it is better to restrict oneself to saying: "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger." In my view, the latter is the stronger position, because the hadith of Ibn 'Abbas and the hadith of Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) regarding the description of the tashahhud do not mention the Ibrahimi prayer. Therefore, what is stronger in my view is that the Ibrahimi prayer, which is: "O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad" to the end, is only said in the final tashahhud.
The questioner : May Allah bless you, O honorable Shaykh. In his last question, the listener says.
