The utterance of the above words are indeed permitted and no person other than those who are misled would argue with it. For reference on this matter, we shall consult the following great Jurists of Islam and their books:

Undoubtedly, Allah and His angels send blessings on the prophet the Communicator of unseen news, O you who believe! Send upon him blessings and salute him fully well in abundance.
[The Holy Quran 56:33]
[The Holy Quran 56:33]
narrates that Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sall Allahu alaihi wa Salim) said: "He who reads a single Durood upon me, Almighty Allah blesses him ten times, ten of his sins are forgiven, and he is increased ten times in stages (internally)" [Mishkaat Shareef]
In the Holy Quran Allah Says; "Indeed Allah delighted from the believers when were implicated in Bayat beneath the tree (Sura Fath verse 18)
In other versus of Holy Quran, it states; Those who execute Bayat on your hand, execute the bayat on the hands of Allah" [Sura Fath verse 10]
In other versus of Holy Quran, it states; Those who execute Bayat on your hand, execute the bayat on the hands of Allah" [Sura Fath verse 10]
By the sayings of Hazrat Abdah bin SaaƔt Ansari Razi Allah narrates;
"The Bayat on the hands of Prophet Syedina Hazrat Mohammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) highlights, during all the hardship and temptation moments, we shall obey the command of Holy Prophet Peace be upon Him. We shall not hurdle or ambiguity in the decision of our leader."
Therefore it has been proven that, to obtain Bayat is the Sunnah of Holy Prophet Hazrat Mohammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam)
About pledging Bayt to a Pir, Hazrat Ibn Abbas reports that Sayyidina Rasulallah sallahu Alahi Wa Sallam says:
Whoever dies and did not make an oath of allegiance (to a Muslim leader/Pir) has died a death of jahiliyah (ignorance).
[Bukhari, Muslim]
Ghausul Azam, Hazrat Sheikh Abdul Qaadir Jailani (radi Allahu anhu) brings home the necessity of a Murshid in a beautiful metaphor. He says: "The heart is the plantation for the Aakhirah (Hereafter). Sow the seeds of Imaan in your heart. Irrigate, fertilise and mature it with regular good deeds. If there is kindness and energy in the heart it will be fertile and an abundant harvest will result. Should the heart be harsh and contemptuous, the soul becomes infertile and barren and no crop will be able to grow. Learn this art of farming by its farmers/experts, the Awliya Allah. Do not think your opinion to be sufficient. Our Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) says, Seek help in every field from an expert in that field". (Al-Fath-ur-Rabbani, pg. 202)
