In Tashahudd, why do we say the word you in "peace be upon you o prophet" and why do we bear witness prophet Mohammad(pbuh) when Quran says Allah is enough as witness in 4:79, 4:166.

Answer

1. The Quraan orders us to send peace and salutations upon Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam).

2. Your question is unclear. However we are required to testify our belief in Allah and Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam).
