Another methodology adopted by the Prophet was providing right alternatives while correcting people. While praying, his companions used to say “Peace be upon Allah and peace be upon so and so”.
The Prophet observed that God Himself was peace and therefore he asked them not to pray as they were praying. Instead he told them to say “Peace be upon all the slaves of God in heaven or in between heaven and earth” and then to recite that there is no true god except Allah and Muhammad is His slave and messenger which is to be followed by their own prayer.
Sometimes the Prophet used to suggest a corrective measure to a mistake committed and asked his companions to carry it out. If some mistakes could not be corrected or reversed the Prophet used to prescribe what is called “kafarat” or acts of expiation.
