Sahih al-Bukhari 3369
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ الزُّرَقِيِّ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو حُمَيْدٍ السَّاعِدِيُّ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ نُصَلِّي عَلَيْكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " قُولُوا اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَأَزْوَاجِهِ وَذُرِّيَّتِهِ، كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَبَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَأَزْوَاجِهِ وَذُرِّيَّتِهِ، كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ ".
ʿAbd Allah ibn Yusuf informed us: Malik ibn Anas informed us, from ʿAbd Allah ibn Abi Bakr ibn Muhammad ibn ʿAmr ibn Hazm, from his father, from ʿAmr ibn Sulaym al-Zuraqi, who informed me that Abu Humayd al-Saʿidi (may Allah be pleased with him) said: They asked, ‘Messenger of Allah, how should we invoke blessings upon you?’ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied: ‘Say: O Allah, bless Muhammad, his wives, and his descendants as You blessed the family of Ibrahim; and bestow blessing upon Muhammad, his wives, and his descendants as You bestowed blessing upon the family of Ibrahim. You are Praiseworthy, Glorious.’
Translation notes
Distinguished the prayer for blessing from the request for divine benediction and kept the explicit mention of the Prophet’s wives and descendants.
