Continuation of the answer to the previous question regarding the manner of sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and addressing him as "our master" in that context.

The Shaykh : Your question now is that we weigh it with the scale. Naturally, the one who weighs it with the scale must have knowledge of the Book and the Sunnah and the reports of the righteous Salaf. That is, he must know the social life that our righteous Salaf lived. It is necessary for us to know that they were, as we say today: "The Messenger of Allah said..." They used to send blessings upon him more than we do. Do you see? Did they say: "May Allah send blessings upon our master, the Messenger of Allah, and his family"? Or did they say: "Our master, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), said so and so" when they narrated the hadiths? —Give me some water, please. Ah, it is here, come. In the name of Allah— The answer is that in the majority of their words when they mentioned the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), or when they mentioned sending blessings upon him incidentally, let alone in the Ibrahimi prayer in the ritual prayer, they did not use the word "our master." This is the majority of their practice. Very, very rarely, outside of the prayer, one of them would say: "Our master, the Messenger of Allah, said..." So, the summary of the answer regarding sending blessings upon him:

The questioner : The Ibrahimi prayer.

The Shaykh : In the Ibrahimi prayer, there is no word for "master." Outside of the prayer, you may say "Our master, the Messenger of Allah" sometimes, not always, just to indicate that he is truly the master, because he stated in the authentic hadith: This is the answer to what you asked. Is the answer clear?

The questioner : Yes, the point is that in the Qur'an, when Allah addresses the prophets, He says: "O Ibrahim," "O Nuh," "O so-and-so." But when He addresses the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), He says: "O so-and-so." That is, I mean, naturally, this Qur'anic style has a great meaning. But I, as a person, want to greet the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so out of respect for him, I say this word! He was not an ordinary person to whom I would speak.

The Shaykh : I gave you the answer. Are you not like my Salafi story?

The questioner : Praise be to Allah.

The Shaykh : Okay, what did the Salaf do?

The questioner : This is the action that you...

The Shaykh : I answered you.

The questioner : Correct.

The Shaykh : Now you are repeating your previous question, but in a language other than that language! But the result is the same.

The questioner : Correct.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
