The ruling on seeking forgiveness and sending blessings upon the Messenger of Allah in prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
When the one praying recites the words of Allah the Exalted: [Al-Ahzab:56] or the command to seek forgiveness and the like, does he verbalize it in the prayer or seek forgiveness?
Answer:
It is recommended to do so in voluntary prayers, such as the night prayer; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform the late-night voluntary prayer, and when he passed a verse of mercy, he would ask for it, when he passed a verse of warning, he would seek refuge, and when he passed a verse of glorification, he would glorify. And Allah the Exalted said: [Al-Ahzab:21], and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih al-Bukhari 6008 Al-Bukhari narrated it in his Sahih.
When the one praying recites the words of Allah the Exalted:
Indeed, Allah confers blessing upon the Prophet, and His angels [ask Him to do so]. O you who have believed, ask [Allah to confer] blessing upon him and ask [Allah to grant him] peace.
إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَمَلَائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيمًاAnswer:

And Allah the Exalted said:
There has certainly been for you in the Messenger of Allah an excellent pattern
لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌoffer your prayers in the way you saw me offering my prayers
صلوا كما رأيتموني أصلي
