Hadith 23600

قَرَأْتُ عَلَى عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ : مَالِكٌ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو حُمَيْدٍ السَّاعِدِيُّ ، أَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، كَيْفَ نُصَلِّي عَلَيْكَ ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " قُولُوا : اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَأَزْوَاجِهِ وَذُرِّيَّتِهِ ، كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، وَبَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَأَزْوَاجِهِ وَذُرِّيَّتِهِ ، كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Humaid Sa’idi (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the noble Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about the method of sending blessings (salat) upon him. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Say like this: O Allah, send Your mercy upon Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), his family—that is, his pure wives and children—just as You sent mercy upon the family of Ibrahim. Surely, You are Praiseworthy, Most Glorious. And send Your blessings upon Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), his family—that is, his pure wives and children—just as You sent blessings upon the family of Ibrahim. Surely, You are Praiseworthy, Most Glorious.
