Asalamu Alykum,

I read the article on how to read Salah on your website, and it said we have to say in Tashahhud - The part "ayyuha’l-Nabiyyu" [Peace be upon you, O Prophet], but i heard the companions of the Prophet used to say this but after the Prophet died they used to say "Peace be on the Prophet". Here is the Daleel:

Ibn Masood's statement, "We said: Peace be on the Prophet" clarifies that the Companions (ra)used to say, "Peace be on you, O Prophet" in tashahhud while the Prophet (saw) was alive, but when he died, they ceased to do that, instead saying, "Peace be on the Prophet". Undoubtedly, this was with the endorsement of the Prophet (saw); this is supported by the fact that 'Aishah (ra) would similarly teach the tashahhud in prayer with "Peace be on the Prophet", as transmitted by Siraaj in his Musnad (9/1/2) & Mukhlis in al-Fawaa'id (11/54/1) with two saheeh isnaads from her. Ibn Hajar says, "This addition shows clearly that they used to say 'Peace be on you, O Prophet', addressing him directly during his life, but when the Prophet (saw) died, they stopped addressing him and mentioned him in the third person instead, saying 'Peace be on the Prophet'." He also says in a different place, "Subki said in Sharh al- Minhaaj, after mentioning this narration from Abu 'Awaanah only, 'If this is authentically-reported from the Companions, it proves that after his time, it is not compulsory to address the Prophet (saw) directly in the greeting of peace, so one says: Peace be on the Prophet.' (Ibn Hajar continues:)This is authentic without doubt (i.e. because it is established in Sahih al-Bukhaari ), and I have also found strong support for it:- 'Abdur Razzaaq said: Ibn Juraij informed me: 'Ataa' informed me that the Companions used to say 'Peace be on you, O Prophet' while the Prophet (saw) was alive, but after he died, they would say 'Peace be on the Prophet', and this is a saheeh isnaad. As for Sa'eed bin Mansoor's narration from Abu 'Ubaidah bin 'Abdullaah bin Mas'ood, who reported from his father that the Prophet (saw) taught them the tashahhud, and then he ('Abdullaah bin Mas'ood) said it (the tashahhud); Ibn 'Abbaas said: We used to say 'Peace be on you,O Prophet' only while he was alive, to which Ibn Mas'ood replied, 'This is how we were taught, and this is how we teach it', it would appear that Ibn 'Abbaas said this as a matter of discussion but Ibn Mas'ood did not accept. However, the narration of Abu Ma'mar (i.e. the narration of Bukhaari ) is more authentic, since Abu 'Ubaidah did not hear (ahaadeeth) from his father, and furthermore, the isnaad up to Abu 'Ubaidah is weak." (End of quote from Ibn Hajar)

As Salaamu Alaikoum,

Brother there are several different ways to recite the Tashahud and ALL of them are acceptable and correct. What difference does it make whether you choose to use the word "OH" or not?? This does NOT change the meaning of the duaa nor take away from it an any way.

As the hadiths you quoted state, some of the sahabah CONTINUED to say "OH" because this is the way they were taught to say it.

We have to stop trying to make Islam hard on ourselves.. and STOP strying to FIND FAULT WITH THOSE WHO TRY TO TEACH IN ACCORDANCE TO QURAN AND SUNNAH.

Instead of Reading the information from this website and trying to find FAULT with us.. which you wont find any fault because al of our information is from Authentic Quran and Sunnah.. go instead and try to find FAULT on the websites of those who engage in Bidah and Shirk and are clearfly away from the Quran and Sunnah.

Join our classes and LEARN about your religion instead of reading things trying to find fault.


AND ALLAH KNOWS BEST
