Ibn Abi Layla says: I met Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Ujrah (may Allah be pleased with him) and he said: Shall I not give you a gift? (And that is) the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us, and we said: O Messenger of Allah! Indeed, we have learned how to send peace upon you, now what is the way to send blessings (salat)? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You should say like this: "O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad as You sent blessings upon the family of Ibrahim, indeed You are Praiseworthy, Glorious. O Allah, bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad as You blessed the family of Ibrahim, indeed You are Praiseworthy, Glorious."
