Does the hadith of the Companion who was accustomed to reciting Surat al-Masad indicate the permissibility of a Muslim persisting in what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not persist in?

The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : Regarding the hadith of the Companion who stated:[Al-Ikhlas 112:1].
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Is it valid to use this as evidence that persisting in what the Companion did, which he persisted in but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not persist in, is permissible?
The Shaykh : To do what?
The questioner : That persisting in a thing or an act that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not persist in.
The Shaykh : The scholars say: It is not a sunnah (recommended practice). For this reason, they said: It is not prescribed for a person to recite in two rak'ahs, because the action of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was not intentional. If it had been intentional, it would have been a rawatib (regular voluntary prayer attached to the obligatory ones), just as he made it a regular practice to recite Subh and al-Ghashiyah in the Friday prayer, or al-Jumu'ah and al-Munafiqun, or al-Naziat and al-Sajdah, and Hal Ataka in the Fajr prayer on Friday. The meticulous scholar Ibn Daqiq al-Eid (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned this, and people transmitted it from him with approval. There is no doubt that if a person reflects on this, he will find it to be the exact truth. That is, if the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) does something, and we do not know whether he forgot it or did it so that the community would follow his example once, we do not say: This is a sunnah (recommended practice), and it is obligatory for a person to do this. Because if the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) had intended this specific surah, he would have persisted in it.
Correct, I will give you a rule so that the doubt does not remain: "If the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did something, and the matter revolves around whether he was forgetful or it was legislated, what is the original ruling?
The original ruling is legislation, without a doubt."
