Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Your Eminence, is it better to add "and His blessings" in the salam of the prayer, and is this reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?
The Shaykh : The scholars have discussed the hadith regarding this. Some scholars, such as al-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him), rejected it, stating that it is weak and should not be relied upon, and that "and His blessings" should not be added. This is the more apparent view: that one should not add "and His blessings" because it is not authentic. There are numerous hadiths that agree on restricting the salam to "and Allah's mercy." Yes.
