Is it permissible to say "صلى الله عليه وسلم" (peace and blessings be upon him) for a prophet other than Prophet Muhammad?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is prescribed to say "peace be upon him" after mentioning prophets and messengers like Adam, Moses, and Jesus, based on what is narrated in the hadiths and traditions. Among them is what Al-Bukhari narrated from Salman, who said: "The period between Jesus and Muhammad, peace be upon them both, was six hundred years." And what Muslim narrated in the hadith of intercession, that Moses, peace be upon him, will say: "Go to Jesus, peace be upon him."
