The ruling on the prayer reciter saying in the tashahhud: "Peace be upon you, O Prophet"

Question:
His second question asks: Does the prayer reciter say during the tashahhud: "Peace be upon you, O Prophet!" or does he say: "Peace be upon the Prophet"?

Answer:
Both are permissible, and the best is to say: .
If he says: (Peace be upon the Prophet and the mercy of Allah and His blessings), it is valid, this is narrated from Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) but the first one is what should be done; because it is what came from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and he taught it to his Companions, and this is a matter of presence of mind, it is not a supplication for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) a supplication to him, some people may assume that this is a supplication for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and it is not a supplication for the Prophet, a person does not supplicate to him but rather supplicates for him, so he supplicates for him with safety, mercy, and blessing meaning: safety from Allah for you, and mercy from Allah for you and blessing, and he is not asking the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) for safety but rather supplicating for him with safety, supplicating for him with mercy and blessing, so his saying: (O Prophet) is not a supplication to him (O Prophet) its meaning is that I am asking the Prophet for something, but rather its meaning is: I single you out, O Prophet, with this supplication (Peace be upon you, O Prophet) meaning: I single you out, O Prophet, with this supplication of safety, mercy, and blessing, yes.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
