This form of salawat upon the Prophet extends the blessing to include his wives and offspring, and is a well-established wording narrated by both Bukhari and Muslim from the Prophet's own teaching when asked how to pray upon him and his household. It carries special honor for the Prophet's family.
Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammadin wa 'ala azwajihi wa dhurriyyatih, kama sallayta 'ala aali Ibraheem, wa barik 'ala Muhammadin wa 'ala azwajihi wa dhurriyyatih, kama barakta 'ala aali Ibraheem, innaka Hameedun Majeed.
