The prohibition mentioned is only directed at someone who recites while believing that nothing else suffices, not someone who recites out of preference or in pursuit of greater merit. So this does not contradict what we have previously stated. As for what Shaykh (al-Mufid), may Allah سبحانه وتعالى have mercy on him, mentioned regarding the final ‘tashahhud’, we have already presented the first ‘tashahhud’, and we shall now mention the second ‘tashahhud’ and then explain the minimum that suffices for ‘tashahhud’, if Allah سبحانه وتعالى wills.
