It was narrated that Abu Masud Al-Ansari said: "It was said to the Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم): We have been commanded to send salah and salams upon you. We know how to send salams, but how should we send salah? He said: Say: Alahumma salli ala Muhammad wa ala ali Muhammad, kama sallaita ala Ibrahima wa barik ala Muhammad kama barakta ala ali Ibrahim fil-alamin, innaka hamidun majid (O Allah, send salah upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad, as You sent salah upon the family of Ibrahim)."
