The Details of the Question
Are Salli and Barik prayers recited in the first sitting of the sunnah of the asr (afternoon) prayer?
The Answer

Dear Brother / Sister,

It is sunnah to recite salawat to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) after at-tahiyyat in the last sitting of the prayers of fard, witr and muakkad sunnahs; and in all sittings of ghayr muakkad sunnahs and nafilah prayers.

Accordingly, it is sunnah to recite the prayers of Salli and Barik after at-tahiyyat of the first sitting of the sunnah of the isha (night) and the sunnah of the asr (afternoon) prayers.

A person who does not recite these prayers are considered to have left a sunnah but it is not necessary for him/her to perform sajda as-sahw (prostration of forgetfulness). For, not performing a sunnah in the prayer does not require sajda as sahw.
