Sahih Muslim 405 (Book 4, Hadith 69) #8074
Blessing the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) being asked how to bless him, and he responds with a prayer for Allah to bless him and his family as He blessed Ibrahim's family.

Abdullah b. Zaid-he who was shown the call (for prayer in a dream) narrated it on the authority of Abu Mas'ud al-Ansari who said: We were sitting in the company of Sa'id b. 'Ubida when the Messenger of Allah came to us. Bashir b. S'ad said: Allah has commanded us to bless you. Messenger of Allah! But how should we bless you? He (the narrator) said: The Messenger of Allah kept quiet (and we were so much perturbed over his silence) that we wished we had not asked him. The Messenger of Allah then said: (For blessing me) say:" 0 Allah, bless Muhammad and the members of his household as Thou didst bless the members of Ibrahim's household. Grant favours to Muhammad and the members of his household as Thou didst grant favours to the members of the household of Ibrahim in the world. Thou art indeed Praiseworthy and Glorious" ; and salutation as you know.
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى التَّمِيمِيُّ، قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ عَنْ نُعَيْمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْمُجْمِرِ، أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ الأَنْصَارِيَّ، - وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ زَيْدٍ هُوَ الَّذِي كَانَ أُرِيَ النِّدَاءَ بِالصَّلاَةِ - أَخْبَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ الأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ أَتَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَنَحْنُ فِي مَجْلِسِ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ فَقَالَ لَهُ بَشِيرُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ أَمَرَنَا اللَّهُ تَعَالَى أَنْ نُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَكَيْفَ نُصَلِّي عَلَيْكَ قَالَ فَسَكَتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ حَتَّى تَمَنَّيْنَا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَسْأَلْهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ قُولُوا ‏ "‏ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَبَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فِي الْعَالَمِينَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ ‏.‏ وَالسَّلاَمُ كَمَا قَدْ عَلِمْتُمْ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about blessing the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). It was narrated by Abdullah b. Zaid on the authority of Abu Mas'ud al-Ansari who said that they were sitting in the company of Sa’id b. ‘Ubida when the Messenger of Allah came to them and Bashir b. S’ad said that Allah has commanded them to bless him but they did not know how to do so. The Messenger of Allah then taught them a prayer asking Allah to bless him and his household as He blessed Ibrahim's household in this world with favours and salutations as we know it today. This hadith teaches us that we should always remember our beloved prophet in our prayers and ask for blessings upon him from God Almighty just like we would ask for blessings upon ourselves or our families from Him too! We should also remember that even though we may not understand why something happens or why something is asked of us, it is important for us to have faith in God’s plan because He knows best what will benefit us most in this life and hereafter!
