The Darood

اَللّٰهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَّعَلٰى اٰلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلٰٓى اِبْرَاهِيْمَ وَعَلٰٓى اٰلِ اِبْرَاهِيْمَ اِنَّكَ حَمِيْدٌ مَّجِيْدٌ

Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammadin wa 'ala ali Muhammadin kama sallayta 'ala Ibrahima wa 'ala ali Ibrahima innaka hamidun majid

Meaning: O Allah, send Your blessings upon Muhammad ﷺ and upon the family of Muhammad ﷺ, as You sent Your blessings upon Ibrahim ﷺ and upon the family of Ibrahim ﷺ. Indeed, You are the Most Praiseworthy, the Most Glorious.
