Q: When sending greetings to Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him and his family, why do you just say (PBUH)? Did you know that it goes against the Sunnah that you claim you follow, by your own Sahih books. Here you go, and i advice you not to do it again now that you know. Narrated 'Abdur-Rahman bin Abi Laila: Ka'b bin 'Ujra met me and said, "Shall I give you a present? Once the Prophet (saw) came to us and we said, 'O Allah's Apostle! We know how to greet You; but how to send Salat upon you?' He said 'Say: O Allah! Send your greetings (Salawat) on Muhammad and his family, the same way as You sent Your Salawat on Abraham's family. O Allah! Send Your blessings on Muhammad and on Muhammad's family, the same way as You sent Your blessings on Abraham's family. You are indeed worthy of all praise, full of glory.'" Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith: 8.368 http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals... Dear brother, if we want to follow the Sunnah of Prophet peace be upon him and his pure family, we are ORDERED!!!! by the Sunnah as i mentioned in the above authentic traditions from your books to send peace to the members of the House of Prophet Muhammad (s). If the Prophet Muhammad (s) ordered us to send Peace and blessing to his family, then who are you to set regulations in contrary to that and yet claim to follow the Sunnah of Prophet? The phrase "May Allah be please with him" (ra) can be used for the companions, not for Prophet and his Ahlul-Bayt who are perfectly pure, flawless, and sinless. Prophet Muhammad Ar-Rasool peace and blessing be upon him and his pure Family.
