Durood Ibrahim – The Most Powerful Salutation Upon Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
Durood Ibrahim was taught by the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) when the companions (Sahabah) asked:
“O Messenger of Allah! How should we send blessings upon you?”
In response, the Prophet (ﷺ) taught them this specific salutation, which we now recite in our daily prayers during Tashahhud:
This Durood is called Durood Ibrahim because it also includes a prayer for Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham, AS). It is found in authentic Hadiths like Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim.
