This Ibrahimi form of salawat upon the Prophet is the very wording he himself taught his companions when they asked how to send blessings on him, and it became the form recited in the final tashahhud of every prayer. It is considered the most complete formula, combining both prayer and blessing in one supplication.
Allahumma sali 'alaa Muhammad wa'alaa 'ali Muhammad kamaa salayta 'alaa 'iibraaheema wa'alaa 'ali 'iibraaheema 'iinaka hameedun majeedun، Allahumma baarik 'alaa Muhammad wa'alaa 'ali Muhammad kamaa baarakta 'alaa 'iibraaheema wa'alaa 'ali 'iibraaheema 'iinaka hameedun majeedun
