English Translation

ʿAbd al-Razzāq narrated to us, Sufyān informed us, from al-Aʿmash, from al-Ḥakam, from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Abī Laylā, from Kaʿb ibn ʿUjrah, that a man said to the Prophet ﷺ: 'O Messenger of Allāh, we have learned how to greet you with salām, but how do we send prayers upon you?' He said: 'Say: O Allāh, send prayers upon Muḥammad and upon the family of Muḥammad, as You sent prayers upon Ibrāhīm. Indeed, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious. O Allāh, send blessings upon Muḥammad and upon the family of Muḥammad, as You sent blessings upon Ibrāhīm. Indeed, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious.'
