Dua No: 206
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ

اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى إبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ
Translation
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “Whoever sends a prayer upon me, Allah sends ten upon him.”

He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, “Do not take my grave as a place of periodical celebration. Send prayers upon me, for verily your prayers reach me wherever you are.”

He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, “A miser is one whom when I am mentioned to him, fails to send prayers upon me.”

“O Allah, send prayers upon Muhammad and the followers of Muhammad, just as You sent prayers upon Ibraheem and upon the followers of Ibraheem. Verily, You are full of praise and majesty.”

“O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad, just as You sent blessings upon Ibraheem and upon the family of Ibraheem. Verily, You are full of praise and majesty.”

Note: “Send prayers” means to praise and exalt him in the highest and superior of gatherings, that of the closest angels to Allah.

(al) has been translated in it’s broadest sense: some scholars are of the view that the meaning here is more specific and that it means: Prophet Muhammad's (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) followers from among his family.
