The answer

There is no -based prohibition observed in the two mentioned formulations, despite a linguistic error in one of them. The formulation of prayers upon the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, is not restrictive; rather, any formulation that does not contain a prohibition is sufficient. The best of these formulations is the Ibrahimiyyah prayer, which the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, taught to his Companions.
