Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 8870 — Sending blessings upon the Prophet

Sayyiduna Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We said: "O Messenger of Allah! We have learned the way of sending salam upon you; now teach us the way of sending salah (blessings) as well." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Say these words: 'O Allah, send Your mercy upon Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and upon his family, as You sent Your mercy upon Ibrahim and upon his family. Indeed, You are Praiseworthy, Glorious. O Allah, send Your blessings upon Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and upon his family, as You sent Your blessings upon Ibrahim and upon his family. Indeed, You are Praiseworthy, Glorious.'"
