With this chain also, a similar hadith is narrated from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them). © Imam Tirmidhi says:
This hadith is Hasan Sahih.
´Ibn 'Abbas narrated that the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W) used to seek refuge for Al-Hasan and Al-Husain saying:` ""U'idhukuma bikalimatillahi-tammati,min kulli shaitanin wa hammatin, wa minkulli'ainin lammah (I seek refuge for the two of you in the Perfect Words of Allah, from every devil and every poisonous pest, and from every harmful eye)." And he would say: "It is with this that Ibrahim would seek refuge for Ishhaq and Ismail [peace be upon them]." Another chain reports a similar narration.

Hadith Commentary:
The absolute mujtahid, Hazrat Imam Bukhari rahimahullah, has, up to this point, included under this chapter all those ahadith in which, in one way or another, there is mention of Hazrat Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim. This is the reason for the appropriateness between the chapter heading and the ahadith.
Incidentally, many other issues are also mentioned in the ahadith, which can be discerned through contemplation.
By "salat" (blessings), what is meant are those blessings of religion and world which Allah the Exalted granted to Hazrat Ibrahim alayhis salam and his progeny, such that even today, most of the nations of the world trace their lineage to Hazrat Ibrahim alayhis salam. And without doubt, Allah the Exalted has granted these very blessings to Hazrat Sayyiduna Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, such that today, those who recite your testimony of faith number in the hundreds of millions across the face of the earth, and every day, five times, your true messengership is proclaimed in the celestial realms with such grandeur that it is impossible to find its like among all the religious leaders of the world.
Allahumma salli ‘ala Muhammad wa ‘ala aali Muhammad wa barik wa sallim. Ameen.

Hadith Commentary:
➊
Ta'awwudh, isti'adhah, and ta'widh all have the same meaning: that I seek Allah’s protection for you from the aforementioned things through these words.
Al-tammah is an inherent attribute of Allah’s words, because all of Allah’s words are perfect (tammah). From this, it is also understood that the words of Allah are uncreated, because the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) would not seek protection in any created thing.
➋
It should be noted that under this chapter heading, Imam Bukhari (rahimahullah) has narrated as many ahadith as he has, and in all of them, in one way or another, there is mention of Ibrahim (alayhis salam) and his family and offspring. This is the connection between the chapter heading and the ahadith. Incidentally, many other issues are also mentioned in these ahadith, which can be discerned by reflecting upon them.
And Allah knows best.

Benefits and Issues:
➊ Because it cannot be imagined regarding Sayyiduna Khalil al-Rahman or Muhammad, the Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), that they would seek refuge with any created being.
➋ When even the righteous offspring of the Prophets (alayhim as-salam) are not free from the need for Allah’s protection and refuge, then other people are in even greater need of it.
➌ It is recommended (mustahabb) that children should always be supplicated over (ruqyah) with these blessed words.
