Q: Some people send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in this manner: “O Allah, send blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, the healer of hearts and the cure for well-being.” Is this prescribed?
A: 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:Sahih al-Bukhari 3370. This is the well-known prayer established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). It has different forms, and if one sends blessings using any of the forms established from him (peace and blessings be upon him), he has done what is prescribed.
