The Short Salawat

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ

Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad.

O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad.

What it means

The briefest complete form, and the one to use when you want to send blessings many times over. The Prophet ﷺ instructed that after answering the call to prayer we send blessings upon him, and then ask Allah for al-wasilah for him.

When and how

Say it after the adhan, when you hear his name, and as a light dhikr to repeat while walking or waiting.

Its virtue

The Prophet ﷺ said that whoever sends blessings upon him once, Allah sends blessings upon him ten times in return, reported in Sahih Muslim 384.
