Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
When sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), is it obligatory for me to adhere to a specific form mentioned in the tashahhud, or is it sufficient to say: "O Allah, send blessings and peace upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad"?
Answer:
It is the Sunnah for you, indeed it is obligatory, to send blessings as it came in the texts, in any of the forms of the texts:Sahih al-Bukhari 3370 This is the most complete form.
And if you shorten it and say:Riyad as-Salihin 1406 there is no harm.
And if you shorten it further than that:Sahih Muslim 405 it is sufficient.
The point is: according to what has been transmitted, but the most complete and best is to complete it:Sahih al-Bukhari 3370 which combines the blessing and the sending of blessings upon Muhammad and his family, and upon Ibrahim and his family. Yes.
