Duas & Salawat on the Prophet ﷺ

Only from Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim. The Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever sends one salawat upon me, Allah sends ten upon him.” — Sahih Muslim 408

Durood Ibrahim — Taught by the Prophet ﷺ Himself

Sahih Bukhari 3370, Sahih Muslim 406

This is the Salawat recited in every Salah. When the Companions asked how to send blessings on the Prophet ﷺ, he taught them this exact dua.

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَىٰ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَىٰ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَلَىٰ آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ ۞ اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَىٰ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَىٰ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَلَىٰ آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ

Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammadin wa 'ala ali Muhammadin kama sallayta 'ala Ibrahima wa 'ala ali Ibrahima innaka Hamidun Majeed. Allahumma barik 'ala Muhammadin wa 'ala ali Muhammadin kama barakta 'ala Ibrahima wa 'ala ali Ibrahima innaka Hamidun Majeed.

O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad, as You sent blessings upon Ibrahim and upon the family of Ibrahim. You are indeed Praiseworthy and Glorious. O Allah, bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as You blessed Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim. You are indeed Praiseworthy and Glorious.

Short Salawat — Mentioned in Sahih Hadith

Sahih Bukhari 3370, Sahih Muslim 405

The Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever sends one salawat upon me, Allah sends ten upon him." (Sahih Muslim 408)

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ وَسَلِّمْ عَلَىٰ نَبِيِّنَا مُحَمَّدٍ

Allahumma salli wa sallim 'ala nabiyyina Muhammad

O Allah, send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad.

Salawat of Intercession — For the Day of Judgement

Sahih Bukhari 614, Sahih Muslim 384

The Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever says this dua after the Adhan, intercession will be permitted for him on the Day of Judgement."

اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ هَٰذِهِ الدَّعْوَةِ التَّامَّةِ وَالصَّلَاةِ الْقَائِمَةِ آتِ مُحَمَّدًا الْوَسِيلَةَ وَالْفَضِيلَةَ وَابْعَثْهُ مَقَامًا مَّحْمُودًا الَّذِي وَعَدْتَهُ

Allahumma Rabba hadhihid-da'watit-tammati was-salatil qa'imati, ati Muhammadanil-wasilata wal-fadilata wab'ath-hu maqaman mahmudanil-ladhi wa'adtah

O Allah, Lord of this perfect call and the prayer to be offered, grant Muhammad the intercession and the privilege, and raise him to the praised station that You have promised him.

Dua After Sending Salawat — For Forgiveness

Sahih Muslim 384

Recite after Durood. The Prophet ﷺ encouraged sending salawat abundantly, especially on Fridays.

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدِكَ وَرَسُولِكَ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَىٰ آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَبَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فِي الْعَالَمِينَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ

Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammadin 'abdika wa rasulika kama sallayta 'ala ali Ibrahima wa barik 'ala Muhammadin wa 'ala ali Muhammadin kama barakta 'ala ali Ibrahima fil 'alamina innaka Hamidun Majeed

O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad Your servant and messenger, as You sent blessings upon the family of Ibrahim, and bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad as You blessed the family of Ibrahim among all people. You are indeed Praiseworthy and Glorious.
