Is sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) a condition for the acceptance of supplication?

Question:
At the beginning of this episode, a message was received by the program from one of the female listeners who called herself Umm Siah from the Arab Republic of Egypt. Our sister says in one of her questions: Is sending blessings upon our master Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) at the beginning and end of the supplication a condition for its acceptance?

Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon the Messenger of Allah, and upon his family and his Companions, and upon those who follow his guidance. As for what follows:
There is no doubt that sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is among the causes of acceptance. It is established from him (peace and blessings be upon him) that when he heard a man making supplication without sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and without praising Allah, he said: Then he said, may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him: .
The Sunnah for the one making supplication is to begin by praising Allah, extolling Him, and glorifying Him, then to send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and then to supplicate for whatever he wishes, with humility and sincerity in the supplication, turning to Allah, and having good opinion of Him .
If one is in a state of ritual purity and in the specific times of acceptance, it is closer to acceptance, such as at the end of the night and in the middle of the night, and also in prostration and between the adhan and the iqamah, and on Friday, especially between the imam sitting down and the completion of the prayer, meaning: his sitting on the minbar for the sermon until the prayer is completed, and after the Asr prayer until the setting of the sun on Friday. All of these are times of acceptance.
So the believing man and woman should strive to engage in the causes, and Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) is the one who grants success . Among these causes is sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and it is not a condition. Sending blessings is not a condition, but it is among the causes of acceptance. Praising Allah and extolling Him before the supplication, and sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) before the supplication, all of this is among the causes of acceptance and is not a condition.
If one supplicates without praising Allah before it and without sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), his acceptance may still be hoped for, especially in cases of dire necessity and intense turning to Allah and humility before Him . But among the causes of acceptance is that he praises Allah before it and sends blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). As for sending blessings after that, a weak hadith has been reported regarding it, and if one sends blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) after that, there is no harm; it is all good. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
