The manner of reciting salat and salam

Question

The manner of salawat and salam mentioned in “Salawat-i Akbar” (“The Greatest Blessing”), the supplication “Ganj al-‘Arsh” (“Treasure of the Throne”) and the like — for example, “Blessings and peace be upon you, O Messenger of Allah…” — is this particular manner established by the Holy Qur’an, the hadiths of the Prophet ﷺ, or the practice of the Companions, or not? And what is the manner of salawat and salam that is established from the Prophet ﷺ himself?

Answer

[ar]عن عبد الرحمن بن أبي ليلى قال: لقيني كعب بن عجرة ﵁ فقال: ألا أهدي لك هدية سمعته من النبي ﷺ؟ فقلت: بلى، فلدهالي. فقال: سألنا رسول الله ﷺ فقلنا: يا رسول الله ﷺ، كيف الصلاة عليكم أهل البيت؟ فإن الله قد علمنا كيف نسلم عليك.
