How to send salah upon the Prophet, peace be upon him
Original (Arabic): https://binbaz.org.sa/fatwas/11/كيفية-الصلاة-على-النبي-صلى-الله-عليه-وسلم
Question: Some people invoke blessings upon the Prophet ﷺ like this:Is this legislated?
اللهم صل علي نبينا محمد طب القلوب ودواء العافية
Allahumma salli 'ala Nabiyyina Muhammad, tibb al-qulubi wa dawa' al-'afiyah
O Allah, send prayers upon our Prophet Muhammad, the medicine of hearts and the cure of well-being
Answer: This is not prescribed, and it contains ambiguity through which confusion may arise for people; rather, the best form of sending salah upon him is the Ibrahimic salah:is this well-known salah established from the Prophet ﷺ It has several types, and whichever type one prays with, he has performed what is prescribed, provided it is among the types established from him ﷺ[1].
اللهم صل علي محمد وعلي آل محمد، كما صليت علي إبراهيم وعلي آل إبراهيم إنك حميد مجيد، اللهم بارك علي محمد وعلي آل محمد، كما باركت علي إبراهيم وعلي آل إبراهيم، إنك حميد مجيد
Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammadin wa 'ala aali Muhammadin, kama sallayta 'ala Ibrahima wa 'ala aali Ibrahima, innaka Hamidun Majid. Allahumma barik 'ala Muhammadin wa 'ala aali Muhammadin, kama barakta 'ala Ibrahima wa 'ala aali Ibrahima, innaka Hamidun Majid.
O Allah, send prayers upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad, as You sent prayers upon Ibrahim and upon the family of Ibrahim, indeed You are Praiseworthy, Glorious. O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad, as You sent blessings upon Ibrahim and upon the family of Ibrahim, indeed You are Praiseworthy, Glorious.
