Ruling on adding supplications after each closing salam in the prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence! In the last question of this questioner, may Allah reward him, who is from Sudan and resides in Libya, he says: A man, when he turns to his right to close the prayer, says: "Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah, O Allah, I ask You for success in Paradise." And when he turns to his left, he says: "Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah, O Allah, I ask You for salvation from the Fire." Is this disliked, or not? If it is disliked, what is the evidence for its being disliked? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
There is no basis for this; rather, this is a religious innovation. One does not say anything when closing the prayer except what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said when he closed the prayer with the two salams:Sunan Abi Dawud 1512Sahih (Al-Albani) This is what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do when he closed the prayer. As for this supplication after the first salam and the second salam, it has no basis. It is from his own invention. It is a religious innovation. Yes.
The presenter: Adding "and His blessings" to "Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah" in the closing salam, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh: It is better not to add it; because there is doubt regarding its correctness, and there is disagreement among the scholars. The preserved form is: "Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah."
The presenter: May Allah reward you and bless you, may the Shaykh be respected.
