What is the ruling on praying upon the Prophet using the wording mentioned in the question?
The established forms of prayer upon the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, are sufficient, rendering others unnecessary. The form "The Luminous Tree of Origin" should be abandoned because it was not transmitted from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, or his companions. It contains words with similar meanings or that are unclear, such as "The Luminous Tree of Origin" and "The Glimmer of the Divine Grasp." Sheikh Ibn Baz was asked about Salat al-Fatih, and he replied that it is among the innovations introduced by the Tijaniyya order. Although some of its meanings are correct, using this formula is not permissible, as it revives something that has no basis. It is better to rely on the authentic prophetic forms, such as: "O Allah, bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as You blessed Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim, You are indeed Praiseworthy and Glorious. O Allah, grant favors to Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as You granted favors to Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim, You are indeed Praiseworthy and Glorious." Furthermore, vocalizing the prayer upon the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, after the [obligatory] prayer is an innovation.
