It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Mas’ud Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came to us at the house of Sayyiduna Sa’d bin ‘Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Bashir bin Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him):“Allah, the Exalted, has commanded us to send blessings upon you, so how should we send blessings upon you?”The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) remained silent until we wished that he had not asked him. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:“Say: «اَللّٰهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَبَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فِي الْعَالَمِينَ، إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ» and the manner of sending peace is as you already know.”
