The Tahiyyat is among the prescribed forms of remembrance, so should one restrict oneself to only what was reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that came with the second-person plural address?

The questioner : Now, is among the prescribed forms of remembrance, ... regardless of what has been said about the address?

The Shaykh : There is no doubt in that, but the problem is that the statement of Ibn Mas'ud: , such a statement has the ruling of being elevated to the Prophet, as is known in the terminology of hadith, and this is what led some of the later scholars to adopt this view. However, we say: this statement that Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) made was based on his independent legal reasoning, and not all the Companions did so, as evidenced by the hadith of 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). Thus, this was part of his understanding, and a person may err or be correct.
