What is the ruling on adding the word "Ta'ala" (the Most High) to the salutation upon the Prophet (peace be upon him) in the final Tashahhud, by saying: "Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy of Allah Ta'ala and His blessings," and is it obligatory to repeat the prayer?
It is best for a Muslim to limit themselves to the reported wordings in the Tashahhud. However, adding the word: (Ta'ala - the Most High) to it does not invalidate the prayer, as it falls under the category of verbal additions.
