Did Prophet Muhammad (SAWS) recite Darood-e-Ibrahim during the salah?
Yes, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ recited Darood-e-Ibrahim during the salah (prayer). This practice is well-established in hadith literature. In Sahih al-Bukhari, it is narrated: I saw the Prophet (peace be upon him) begin the takbeer in prayer by raising his hands until they were level with his shoulders. When he said takbeer for bowing, he did the same. And when he said 'Sami Allahu liman hamidah,' he repeated that action, and also when he said 'Rabbana walakal-hamd.' But he did not do this action when prostrating or when raising his head from prostration.
Sahih al-Bukhari 10:132.
This indicates that the Prophet followed specific actions during prayer, and reciting Darood-e-Ibrahim is part of the prayer after the Tashahhud, as it is a way to send blessings upon the Prophet and his family.
