Sunan an-Nasa'i 1285

Muhammad ibn Salamah and al-Harith ibn Miskin narrated to us; it was read to al-Harith while I listened—and these are his words—from Ibn al-Qasim, who said: Malik narrated to me, from Nu‘aym ibn ‘Abd Allah al-Mujmir, that Muhammad ibn ‘Abd Allah ibn Zayd al-Ansari—the one informed by ‘Abd Allah ibn Zayd, who was shown the call to prayer—told him, from Abu Mas‘ud al-Ansari, that he said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came to us while we were gathered in the assembly of Sa‘d ibn ‘Ubadah. Bashir ibn Sa‘d said to him, “Allah, Mighty and Sublime, has commanded us to invoke blessings upon you, O Messenger of Allah. How should we invoke blessings upon you?” The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) remained silent until we wished he had not asked him. Then he said: “Say: ‘O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, 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 peoples. You are indeed Praiseworthy, Glorious.’ And the greeting of peace is as you have learned.”
