The phrase peace and blessings of God be upon him (Arabic: صلى الله عليه وسلم, ṣallā -llāhu ʿalay-hi wa-sallam) is a common expression used by Muslims as an honorific after mentioning the name of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. It is often abbreviated as "pbuh" in English. This phrase is a sign of respect and reverence for Muhammad, emphasizing his role as a prophet and leader in Islam. The practice of saying this phrase is rooted in the Islamic tradition of sending blessings upon Muhammad, known as "salawat," which is encouraged in Islamic teachings.
