The Messenger of Allah (ص) said "Do not salute for me in short!”
The companions asked "What is saluting in short?”
The Prophet (ص) replied "Saying that Blessing of Allah be upon Muhammad.”
They asked "What should we say?”
The Prophet (ص) answered
"Say: Blessing of Allah be upon Muhammad and his Ahlul-Bayt.”
In another wording the Prophet (ص) replied: "Say: O Allah bless Muhammad and his household the same way as you blessed Abraham and his household. Verily you are worthy of all praise full of all glory!”
