Machine translationRead the Arabic original

Question:
Some people send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) like this: "O Allah, send blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, the healer of hearts and the medicine of well-being." Is this prescribed?

Answer:
It is not prescribed, and it contains ambiguity that may cause confusion for people. However, the best way to send blessings upon him is the Ibrahimic prayer:

Say: O Allah! Send Your Mercy on Muhammad and on the family of Muhammad, as You sent Your Mercy on Abraham and on the family of Abraham, for You are the Most Praise-worthy, the Most Glorious. O Allah! Send Your Blessings on Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as You sent your Blessings on Abraham and on the family of Abraham, for You are the Most Praise-worthy, the Most Glorious.

اللهم صل على محمد وعلى آل محمد كما صليت على إبراهيم وعلى آل إبراهيم إنك حميد مجيد، اللهم بارك على محمد وعلى آل محمد كما باركت على إبراهيم وعلى آل إبراهيم إنك حميد مجيد

Sahih al-Bukhari 3370

This prayer is the well-known, established prayer from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). It has different forms, and if one sends blessings using any of the established forms, he has done what is prescribed.
And success is from Allah, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
