أَخْبَرَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ يَحْيَی قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَجِيدِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ حَسَّانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ بِشْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ قِيلَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُمِرْنَا أَنْ نُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْکَ وَنُسَلِّمَ أَمَّا السَّلَامُ فَقَدْ عَرَفْنَاهُ فَکَيْفَ نُصَلِّي عَلَيْکَ قَالَ قُولُوا اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَی مُحَمَّدٍ کَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَی آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ اللَّهُمَّ بَارِکْ عَلَی مُحَمَّدٍ کَمَا بَارَکْتَ عَلَی آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1291
It was narrated that Abu Mas’ud Al-Ansari said: “It was said to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم ‘We have been commanded to send Salah and Salams upon you. We know how to send Salams, but how should we send alah?’ He said: ‘Say: “Allahumma salli ‘ala Muhammad kamasallaita ‘ala au Ibrahim. Allahumma bank ‘ala Muhammad kama barakta ‘ala au Ibrahim (Allah, sendupon Muhammad as You sent Salah upon the family of Ibrahim. Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad as You sent blessings upon the family of Ibrahim).” (Sahih)
