Overview
In Sha'ban 786 AH the muezzins introduced blessing and greeting on the Prophet after the call to prayer. Al-Suyuti says that this was the first innovation of its kind, and that the one who ordered it was the market inspector Najm al-Din al-Tunbadhi. 1
What the source says
Al-Suyuti describes the matter as an innovation, that is, something that had not existed before. The data gives no opinion of the scholars on the practice and no place where it happened, and needs an additional source.
Date
Sha'ban around 786 AH, with a Gregorian equivalent (around 1384 CE) that is derived. 1
