ابن ماجہ · Hadith 904
It was narrated that Hakam said: "I heard Ibn Abi Laila say: 'Ka'b bin 'Ujrah met me and said: "Shall I not give you a gift? The Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H came out to us and we said: 'We know what it means to send greetings on you, but what does it mean to send peace and blessings upon you?' He said: 'Say: Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammadin wa 'ala ali Muhammadin, kama sallayta 'ala Ibrahima, innaka Hamidum Majid; Allahumma barik' 'ala Muhammadin wa Iala ali Muhammadin kama bar akt a 'ala Ibrahim a . Innaka Hamidum Majid (0 Allah, send Your grace, honor and mercy upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad, as You sent Your grace, honor and mercy upon Ibrahim, You are indeed Praiseworthy, Most Glorious. 0 Allah, send Your blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as You sent Your blessings upon Ibrahim, You are indeed Praiseworthy, Most Glorious).''' (Sahih)
