Sayyiduna Buraidah Khuzai (may Allah be pleased with him) says: We said: O Messenger of Allah! Indeed, we have come to know how to send peace upon you, now how should we send blessings upon you? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You should say like this: "O Allah! Send Your prayers, mercy, and blessings upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad, as You sent them upon Ibrahim and upon the family of Ibrahim. Indeed, You are Praiseworthy, Glorious."

Sayyiduna Talhah bin Ubaidullah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I asked, "O Messenger of Allah! How should we send blessings upon you?" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Say like this: "O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad as You sent blessings upon Ibrahim; indeed, You are Praiseworthy, Glorious. And bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad as You blessed Ibrahim; indeed, You are Praiseworthy, Glorious."

Sayyiduna Zaid bin Kharijah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I myself asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) how should blessings be sent upon you? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Send blessings upon me and strive (in doing so), then say: O Allah, bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad as You blessed Ibrahim; indeed, You are Praiseworthy, Glorious.

It is narrated from a Companion of the Messenger that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) used to say: O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad and upon the family of his house and upon his wives and his descendants, as You sent blessings upon the family of Ibrahim; indeed, You are Praiseworthy, Glorious. And bless Muhammad and the family of his house and his wives and his descendants, as You blessed the family of Ibrahim; indeed, You are Praiseworthy, Glorious. Ibn Tawus says: My father also used to say it in this way.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Humayd Sa'idi (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Companions said: O Messenger of Allah! How should we send blessings upon you? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Say like this: "O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad and his wives and his descendants as You sent blessings upon the family of Ibrahim, and bless Muhammad and his wives and his descendants as You blessed the family of Ibrahim. Indeed, You are Praiseworthy, Glorious."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: When any of you finishes the final Tashahhud, he should seek refuge from these four things: from the punishment of Hell, from the punishment of the grave, from the trials of life and death, and from the evil of the False Messiah (Dajjal).

Hazrat Tawoos used to recite these words after the last Tashahhud in the Isha prayer and considered them very great: "I seek refuge with Allah from the punishment of Hell, and I seek refuge with Allah from the evil of the False Messiah (Dajjal), and I seek refuge with Allah from the punishment of the grave, and I seek refuge with Allah from the trials of life and death." (I seek refuge with Allah from the punishment of Hell, and I seek refuge with Allah from the evil of the False Messiah (Dajjal), and I seek refuge with Allah from the punishment of the grave, and I seek refuge with Allah from the trials of life and death.) He considered them great and mentioned them from the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) on the authority of Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Urwah bin Zubair that the wife of the Messenger, Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), informed him that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to supplicate in prayer: "O Allah! I seek refuge with You from the punishment of the grave, and I seek refuge with You from the trial of the False Messiah (Dajjal), and I seek refuge with You from the trials of life and death. O Allah! I seek refuge with You from sin and debt." (O Allah! I seek Your protection from the punishment of the grave, I seek Your protection from the trial of the False Messiah, I seek Your protection from the trials of life and death, O Allah! I seek Your protection from sin and debt.)

A man said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): O Messenger of Allah! Why do you seek refuge from debt so frequently? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: When a man is in debt, he speaks and tells lies, and he makes promises and breaks them.

It is narrated from a Companion of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked a man: What do you say in prayer? He replied: First I recite the Tashahhud, then I supplicate in this way: O Allah, I ask You for Paradise and seek refuge in You from the Fire. I cannot recite in a humming manner like you and Mu'adh do. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: We also hum around these words.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mihjan bin Adra’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entered the mosque and saw a man who, after completing his prayer, was reciting this supplication in the Tashahhud:“O Allah! Indeed, I ask You, O Allah, the One, the Unique, the Self-Sufficient, Who neither begets nor is begotten, and there is none comparable to Him, that You forgive my sins. Indeed, You are the Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Indeed, he has been forgiven, indeed, he has been forgiven, indeed, he has been forgiven.”That is, he said it three times.
