It is reported about one of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he used to recite: "O Allah, send blessings upon Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and upon the family (al-bayt) of Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) (perhaps the word here should be ahl al-bayt, but it appears this way in the printed edition of the book too), and upon his wives and his offspring, just as You sent blessings upon the family of Ibrahim. Indeed, You are Praiseworthy and the Possessor of glory. And bestow blessings upon Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), upon his household, upon his wives and his offspring, just as You bestowed blessings upon the family of Ibrahim. Indeed, You are Praiseworthy and the Possessor of glory." Ibn Tawus says: My father used to recite something similar.
Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taught me (to recite these words in the tashahhud): "All forms of physical, verbal and financial worship are exclusively for Allah Almighty. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy of Allah Almighty and His blessings. Peace be upon us and upon all the righteous servants of Allah Almighty. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah Almighty, and I bear witness that Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is His servant and His Messenger. O Allah, send blessings upon Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and upon his household, just as You sent blessings upon Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him). Indeed, You are Praiseworthy, the Possessor of glory. O Allah, send blessings upon us too along with them. O Allah, bestow blessings upon Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and upon his household, just as You bestowed blessings upon Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him). Indeed, You are Praiseworthy, the Possessor of glory. O Allah, bestow blessings upon us too along with them. May the blessings of Allah Almighty and the blessings of the believers be upon Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), the unlettered Prophet. Peace be upon him, and may the mercy of Allah Almighty and His blessings descend upon him." (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: In the Sahih, only the tashahhud from this narration is mentioned; sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is not mentioned.
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir; its chain contains Abd al-Wahhab bin Mujahid, who is da'if (weak). (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: Many hadiths are reported about sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), which will come later in the chapter on supplications, if Allah wills.
