Sunan Abi Dawud 980

Translation

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us in a meeting of Sa’d b. ‘Ubadah. Bashir b. Sa’d said to him: Allah has commanded us to invoke blessings on you, Messenger of Allah. How should we invoke blessings on you? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ kept silence so much so that we wished he would not ask him. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Say. He then narrated the tradition like that of Ka’b b. ‘Ujrah. This version adds in the end: In the universe, Thou art praiseworthy and glorious.
