Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَجِيدِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ حَسَّانَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ بِشْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، قَالَ قِيلَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أُمِرْنَا أَنْ نُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْكَ وَنُسَلِّمَ أَمَّا السَّلاَمُ فَقَدْ عَرَفْنَاهُ فَكَيْفَ نُصَلِّي عَلَيْكَ قَالَ ‏ "‏ قُولُوا اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Ziyad ibn Yahya narrated to us: ‘Abd al-Wahhab ibn ‘Abd al-Majid narrated to us: Hisham ibn Hassan narrated to us, from Muhammad, from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Bishr, from Abu Mas‘ud al-Ansari, who said: It was said to the Prophet (ﷺ), “We have been commanded to invoke blessings upon you and to offer you greetings of peace. We already know how to offer the greeting of peace; so how should we invoke blessings upon you?” He said: “Say: ‘O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad, as You sent blessings upon the family of Ibrahim. O Allah, bless Muhammad, as You blessed the family of Ibrahim.’”
