Narrated `Abdur-Rahman bin Abi Laila:
Ka`b bin Ujrah met me and said, "Shall I not give you a present I got from the Prophet?" `Abdur- Rahman said, "Yes, give it to me." I said, "We asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! How should one (ask Allah to) send blessings on you, the members of the family, for Allah has taught us how to salute you (in the prayer)?' He said, 'Say:
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ، وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ
اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ، وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَعَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ
Translation:
O Allah! Send Your Mercy on Muhammad and on the family of Muhammad, as You sent Your Mercy on Abraham and on the family of Abraham, for You are the Most Praise-worthy, the Most Glorious.
O Allah! Send Your Blessings on Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as You sent your Blessings on Abraham and on the family of Abraham, for You are the Most Praise-worthy, the Most Glorious.
Narrated Ka`b bin Ujra:
It was said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! We know how to greet you, but how to invoke Allah for you?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Say:
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ
اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ
Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri:
We said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! This is (i.e. we know) the greeting to you; will you tell us how to send Salat on you?" He (ﷺ) said,
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدِكَ وَرَسُولِكَ، كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَبَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ

Narrated Abu Humaid As-Sa`idi:
The people asked, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! How shall we (ask Allah to) send blessings on you?" Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) replied, "Say:
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَأَزْوَاجِهِ وَذُرِّيَّتِهِ، كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَبَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَأَزْوَاجِهِ وَذُرِّيَّتِهِ، كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ

O Allah! Send Your Mercy on Muhammad and on his wives and on his off spring, as You sent Your Mercy on Abraham's family; and send Your Blessings on Muhammad and on his offspring, as You sent Your Blessings on Abraham's family, for You are the Most Praiseworthy, the Most Glorious.
PROPHET MUHAMMAD (ﷺ) said:
Whoever sends Salah (Blessings) upon me once, ALLAH
1) will send Salah (Blessings) upon him tenfold,
2) And will erase ten sins from him,
3) And will raise him ten degrees in status.
Narrated: Umar bin Al-Khattab
Indeed the supplication stops between the heavens and the earth.
Nothing of it is raised up until you send Salat (Read Darood) upon your Prophet (ﷺ).
At-Tufail bin Ubayy bin Ka'b narrated from his father who said:
"When a third of the night had passed, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood and said:
'O you people! Remember Allah! Remember Allah! The Rajifah is coming, followed by the Radifah, death and what it brings is coming, death and what it brings is coming!'"
Ubayy said: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)! Indeed I say very much Salat (Read Darood) for you. How much of my Salat should I make for you (ﷺ)?'
He (ﷺ) said: 'As you wish.'"
[He said:] "I said: 'A fourth?'
He (ﷺ) said: 'As you wish. But if you add more it would be better for you.'
I said: 'Then half?'
He (ﷺ) said: 'As you wish. And if you add more it would be better [for you].'"
[He said:] "I said: 'Then two-thirds?
'He (ﷺ) said: 'As you wish, but if you add more it would be better for you.'
I said: 'Should I make all of my Salat for you?'
He (ﷺ) said: 'Then your problems would be solved and your sins would be forgiven.'"
`Amr bin Malik Al-Janbi narrated that he heard Fadalah bin `Ubaid saying:
“The Prophet (ﷺ) heard a man supplicating in his Salat but he did not send Salat (Read Darood) upon the Prophet (ﷺ), so the Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘This one has rushed.’ Then he called him and said to him, or to someone other than him: ‘When one of you performs Salat, then let him begin by expressing gratitude to Allah and praising Him. Then, let him send Salat upon the Prophet (ﷺ), then let him supplicate after that, whatever he wishes.’”
Fadalah bin Ubaid narrated:
“While the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was seated, a man entered and performed Salat, and he said: ‘O Allah, forgive me, and have mercy upon me.’ The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘You have rushed, O praying person. When you perform Salat, and then sit, then praise Allah with what He is deserving of, and send Salat (Read Darood) upon me, then call upon Him.’” He said: “Then another man performed Salat after that, so he praised Allah and sent Salat upon the Prophet (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ) said to him: ‘O praying person! Supplicate, and you shall be answered.’”
إِنَّ اللَّـهَ وَمَلَائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ۚ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيمًا ﴿٥٦
QURAN 33:56
Indeed, Allah confers blessing upon the Prophet, and His angels [ask Him to do so]. O you who have believed, ask [ Allah to confer] blessing upon him and ask [ Allah to grant him] peace.
PROPHET MUHAMMAD (ﷺ) said:
The stingy person is the one before whom I am mentioned, and he does not send Salat (Darood) upon me.
PROPHET MUHAMMAD (ﷺ) said:
1) May the man before whom I am mentioned - and he does not send Salat (Darood) upon me - be humiliated.
2) And may a man upon whom Ramdhaan enters and then passes, before he is forgiven, be humiliated.
3) And may a man whose parents reached old age in his presence, and they were not a cause for his entrance to Paradise, be humiliated.
PROPHET MUHAMMAD (ﷺ) said:
No group gather in a sitting in which they do not remember Allah, nor sent Salat (Darood) upon their Prophet, except it will be a source of remorse for them. If He wills, He will punish them, and if He wills, He will forgive them.
PROPHET MUHAMMAD (ﷺ) said:
Never does a person send his Salam (Darood) to me except that Allah returns my spirit to me that I may return the Salam to him.
PROPHET MUHAMMAD (ﷺ) said:
1) Do not make your houses into graves, and
2) Do not make my grave an 'Eid (a regular place of visitation), and
3) Send your Salat (darood) upon me, for your Salat (darood) will reach me wherever you might be.
Fadalah bin Ubaid narrated:
“While the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was seated, a man entered and performed Salat, and he said: ‘O Allah, forgive me, and have mercy upon me.’ The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘You have rushed, O praying person. When you perform Salat, and then sit, then praise Allah with what He is deserving of, and send Salat upon me (ﷺ), then call upon Him.’” He said: “Then another man performed Salat after that, so he praised Allah and sent Salat upon the Prophet (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ) said to him: ‘O praying person! Supplicate, and you shall be answered.’”
