Two of the soundest ways to send blessings upon Prophet Muhammad which he taught his Companions are: 1- ‘Allahumma salli `ala Muhammad wa `ala ali Muhammad kama salayta `ala Ibrahim wa `ala ali Ibrahim, innaka hamidun majid. Allahumma barik `ala Muhammad wa `ala ali Muhammad kama barakta `ala Ibrahim wa `ala ali Ibrahim, innaka hamidun majid.’ 2- ‘Allahumma salli `ala Muhammadin wa `ala azwajihi wa dhurriyyatihi kama salayta `ala Ibrahim, wa barik `ala Muhammadin wa `ala azwajihi wa dhurriyyatihi kama barakta `ala ali Ibrahim, innaka hamidun majid.’
