Hadith #372

Arabic Text

English Translation

Yaḥyā ibn Saʿīd narrated to us, from Shuʿbah, who said: al-Ḥakam narrated to me, from Ibn Abī Laylā. And Muḥammad ibn Jaʿfar narrated to us, Shuʿbah informed us, from al-Ḥakam, who said: I heard Ibn Abī Laylā, who said: Kaʿb ibn ʿUjrah met me. Ibn Jaʿfar said: He said: 'Shall I not give you a gift? The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ came out to us and we said: "O Messenger of Allāh, we have learned — or we know — 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 the family of Ibrāhīm. Indeed, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious. O Allāh, send blessings upon Muḥammad and upon the family of Muḥammad, as You sent blessings upon the family of Ibrāhīm. Indeed, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious."'
