Is this hadeeth (report) saheeh (authentic)? I would prefer to say \u201cAllahumma salli \u2018ala sayyidina Muhammad\u201d and not just \u201cAllahumma salli \u2018ala Muhammad\u201d.","answer":"Praise be to Allah.\r\nThe wording mentioned does not appear in any hadeeth from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). This has been stated by the scholars: \r\n\r\nAl-Imam al-Sakhawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: It has no basis. End quote. \r\n\r\nAl-Maqasid al-Hasanah, p. 135. \r\n\r\nIbn Hajar al-Haythami (may Allah have mercy on him) said: It has no basis. End quote. \r\n\r\nAl-Fatawa al-Fiqhiyyah al-Kubra, 1\/151 \r\n\r\nMost of those who compiled books of fabricated hadeeths agreed with them. See: al-Masnoo\u2018 fi Ma\u2018rifat al-Mawdoo\u2018, by al-Mulla \u2018Ali al-Qari, p.205. \r\n\r\nMany of the fuqaha (jurists) have stated in their books that this hadeeth is rejected, as it says in Radd al-Muhtar (1\/513), al-Fawakih al-Dawani (2\/359) and Nihayat al-Muhtaj (1\/530). \r\n\r\nThe scholars of the Standing Committee said: \r\n\r\nThe hadeeth \u201cDo not call me Sayyid\u2026\u201d has no basis, as was stated by the author of Kashf al-Khifa. As for the hadeeth, \u201cI will be the leader (Sayyid) of the children of Adam on the Day of Resurrection, and but I do not boast about it,\u201d it is part of a lengthy hadeeth that was narrated by al-Imam al-Tirmidhi from Abu Sa\u2018eed al-Khudri; he said: It is a hasan saheeh hadeeth (sound and authentic report). \r\n\r\nAs for calling the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) \u201cSayyid\u201d in cases other than the adhan (call to prayer), iqamah (final call to prayer) and prayer, this is permissible because of the hadeeth quoted above. \r\n\r\nWith regard to the adhan, iqamah and tashahhud (sitting position) in prayer, one should say it as it is narrated in the Sunnah (prophetic teachings) and not add anything to what is prescribed, because the adhan, iqamah and prayer are acts of worship, and worship is strictly to be done in accordance with the text of the Quran and Sunnah, so it is limited to what is mentioned in the evidence. End quote. \r\n\r\n\u2018Abd al-\u2018Azeez ibn Baz, \u2018Abd al-Razzaq \u2018Afeefi, \u2018Abd-Allah ibn Ghadyan \r\n\r\nFatawa al-Lajnah al-Daimah (vol. 3\/265) \r\n\r\nWith regard to the ruling on adding the word \u201cSayyidina\u201d in al-Salah al-Ibraheemiyyah (a supplication said in the final sitting position of the formal prayer), it is one of the matters concerning which the scholars differed. We have mentioned above that it should not be said and that it is better to limit oneself to what is mentioned in the Sunnah, because prayer is an act of worship and is strictly to be done in accordance with the text of the Quran and Sunnah, so nothing should be added to it except on the basis of shar\u2018i (legal, religious) evidence. \r\n\r\nAnd Allah knows best.\r\n\r\nIslam Q&A","status":1,"created_at":"2014-10-27T20:51:56.000000Z","updated_at":"2014-10-27T20:51:56.000000Z","language_id":1,"fatawacate_id":32,"parent_id":7663,"author_id":"","books":[],"articles":[],"videos":[],"audios":[],"author_name":"","category_name":"\u0627\u0644\u0623\u062d\u0627\u062f\u064a\u062b \u0627\u0644\u0636\u0639\u064a\u0641\u0629","category_slug":"","get_date":"2014-10-27"},"translations":[],"fatawa_books":[],"fatawa_articles":[],"fatawa_videos":[],"fatawa_audios":[],"url":"http:\/\/islamland.com\/eng\/api\/fatawas\/7664"}
