Abu Omar, Abdul Barr's son and others are of the opinion that one should not ask for mercy for the Prophet (peace and blessing be upon him) rather one should ask for praise and blessings specific to him. They say that one should only ask for mercy and the forgiveness for others. In the prayer on the Prophet (peace and blessing be upon him) Abu Mohammed, Abu Zaid's son included, "O Allah, have mercy on Mohammed (because the Prophet (peace and blessing be upon him) was sent as a mercy himself) and the family of Mohammed as You had mercy to Abraham and the family of Abraham." This is not based on a prophetic quotation rather its proof lies in the words in the greeting of peace. "Peace be upon you O Prophet, the mercy of Allah and His blessings."
