The ruling on sending blessings upon the Prophet in the first tashahhud

The second one says: If the imam prolongs his sitting in the first tashahhud, do we send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) after completing the tashahhud, or do we recite the tashahhud and remain silent until the imam stands up?
Answer: The sunnah (recommended practice) is to recite the sending of blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The one who prays recites the sending of blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the tashahhud if it is facilitated, whether he is an imam, praying alone, or a ma'mum (one praying behind the imam). This is because when the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about it, he explained to them the manner of the sending of blessings, and he did not say: "This is only in the last tashahhud." Rather, he stated it generally, which indicates that it is prescribed in both the first and the last tashahhud. So when one says: "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger," he says: "O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad," and so on, in both the first and the last tashahhud. This is the best, and this is the stronger position. If the imam stands up and one is unable to say it, there is no harm; one stands up with the imam, and it is sufficient for him to say: "And I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger." But if he is able, he performs the sending of blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Or if he is an imam or praying alone, he performs the sending of blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). This is the best, and it is the apparent meaning of the authentic hadiths from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
