Salawat on the Prophet ﷺ; Salat Ibrahimiyyah (الصلاة إبراهيمية); (Abu Masud Uqbah b. Amr)

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us while we were in the gathering of Saad ibn Ubadah. Bashir ibn Saad said to him, “Allah ﷻ has commanded us to send salah upon you, O Messenger of Allah, so how should we send salah upon you?” He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ remained silent until we wished that he had not asked him.

Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Say: ‘O Allah, send salah upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad as You sent salah upon the family of Ibrahim; and bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad as You blessed the family of Ibrahim among all the worlds. Indeed, You are Praiseworthy, Glorious. And the salam is as you have already learned.’"

أَتَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ فِي مَجْلِسِ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ۔ فَقَالَ لَهُ بَشِيرُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ: أَمَرَنَا اللَّهُ تَعَالَى أَنْ نُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، فَكَيْفَ نُصَلِّي عَلَيْكَ؟ قَالَ فَسَكَتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى تَمَنَّيْنَا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَسْأَلْهُ۔ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «قُولُوا:

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَبَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فِي الْعَالَمِينَ، إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ؛

وَالسَّلاَمُ كَمَا قَدْ عَلِمْتُمْ۔)»

Ka'b b. 'Ujra met me and said: Should I not offer you a present (and added): The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us and we said: We have learnt how to invoke peace upon you; (kindly tell us) how we should bless you. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Say:" O Allah: bless Muhammad and his family as Thou didst bless the family of Ibrahim. Verily Thou art Praiseworthy and Glorious, O Allah."

أَلاَ أُهْدِي لَكَ هَدِيَّةً خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقُلْنَا قَدْ عَرَفْنَا كَيْفَ نُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكَ فَكَيْفَ نُصَلِّي عَلَيْكَ قَالَ قُولُوا اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ

" Should I not offer you a present?"

عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ مِثْلَهُ وَلَيْسَ فِي حَدِيثِ مِسْعَرٍ أَلاَ أُهْدِي لَكَ هَدِيَّةً

" Bless Muhammad ﷺ" and he did not say:" O Allah I

أَنَّهُ قَالَ وَبَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَلَمْ يَقُلِ اللَّهُمَّ

They (the Companions of the Holy Prophet) said: Apostle of Allah, how should we bless you? He (the Holy Prophet) observed: Say:" O Allah! bless Muhammad, his wives and his offspring as Thou didst bless Ibrahim, and grant favours to Muhammad, and his wives and his offspring as Thou didst grant favours to the family of Ibrahim; Thou art Praiseworthy and Glorious."

أَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ نُصَلِّي عَلَيْكَ قَالَ قُولُوا اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى أَزْوَاجِهِ وَذُرِّيَّتِهِ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَبَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى أَزْوَاجِهِ وَذُرِّيَّتِهِ كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: He who blesses me once, Allah would bless him ten times.

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ صَلَّى عَلَىَّ وَاحِدَةً صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ عَشْرًا
