Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner, Ibrahim Muhammad, is Egyptian and resides in Riyadh. He asks: What is the form of the salutation upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that was transmitted? Do we add the family and the Companions when sending salutations upon him (peace and blessings be upon him)?
Answer:
As for the final tashahhud, it is obligatory to include the family and the Companions; specifically, the family must be included. The family must be included because this is what was transmitted in the hadithSunan ad-Darimi 2:153
This is the Ibrahimi salutation that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taught his Companions to recite in prayer. As for outside of prayer, it is not obligatory to include the family or the Companions. So if one limits himself to saying "peace and blessings be upon him," that is sufficient. And if he says "peace and blessings be upon him and his family and his Companions," that is also good, but it is not obligatory. Yes.

O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad, as You sent blessings upon the family of Ibrahim. Indeed, You are Praiseworthy and Majestic. And send blessings upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad, as You sent blessings upon the family of Ibrahim in the worlds. Indeed, You are Praiseworthy and Majestic.
اللهم صل على محمد وعلى آل محمد كما صليت على آل إبراهيم، إنك حميد مجيد، وبارك على محمد وعلى آل محمد كما باركت على آل إبراهيم في العالمين، إنك حميد مجيد.This is the Ibrahimi salutation that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taught his Companions to recite in prayer.
