Question: In regards to the statement (صلى الله عليه و سلم ) or (عليه السلام) or ( عليه الصلاة و السلام). Do these suffice for a reported text from the Prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم ?
Shaikh: Where? In what place do you mean?
Questioner: In the mention of the Messenger صلى الله عليه و سلم in a lecture. So for example, the lecturer says: صلى الله عليه و سلم. So we are not able to say: اللهم صلى على محمد و على ال محمد
Shaikh: Of course. So here it is clear to you the importance of the actions of Salaf. So you read a lot of Ahaadith which are considered in the thousands and in everyone the narrator says: The Messenger of Allah said. Does he say:
اللهم صل على محمد وعلى آل محمد كما صليت على إبراهيم وعلى آل إبراهيم
No. He says: the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه و على اله و سلم.
This is sufficient and to be applied. Is it clear? This action is taken from the action of the Salaf. Yes”.
