During the Fajr prayer, I mistakenly said 'As-salamu alayka ayyuha ar-rasul' instead of 'As-salamu alayka ayyuha an-nabi'. I turned around but couldn't determine which one was correct and which was wrong. Does this change invalidate my prayer?

Peace be upon you. The prayer remains valid even if you mistakenly change a word in the tasleem (salutation). The important thing is the intention behind your prayer, and minor errors in wording do not invalidate it.
It is recommended to learn the correct phrases for tasleem to avoid confusion in the future.
