Are the salawats said after at-Tahiyyat different?

- Are the salawats said after at-Tahiyyat different according to four madhhabs?
- Will you write their texts and decrees?
- What does the difference originate from? Are salawat supplications said according to one madhab not said according to another madhhab? How can something be sunnah in Hanafi madhhab but fard in Shafii madhhab? 

Dear Brother / Sister,

Some of the salawat supplications said for the Prophet (pbuh) are as follows:

اَللّٰهُمَّ صَلِّى عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلٰى اٰلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلٰى اِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَلٰى اٰلِ اِبْرَاهِيمَ اِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ

اَللّٰهُمَّ بَارِكْ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلٰى اٰلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلٰى اِبْرَاهِيمَ وعَلٰى اٰلِ اِبْرَاهِيمَ اِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ

"Allahumma salli ala Muhammadin wa ala ali Muhammadin kama sallayta ala Ibrahima wa ala ali Ibrahima innaka hamidun majid. Allahumma barik ala Muhammadin wa ala ali Muhammadin kama barakta ala Ibrahima wa ala ali Ibrahima innaka hamidun majid."

"O my Allah, incline to Muhammad and to those who adhered to him as You inclined to Abraham and to those who adhered to him. Verily you are all Praiseworthy all Glorious. O my Allah, bless Muhammad and those who adhered him, as you blessed Abraham and those who adhered to him. Verily, you are all Praiseworthy all Glorious." (Bukhari, Anbiya, 10)

From Abu Mas'ud al-Badri:

We were sitting in the assembly of Sa`d Ibnu Ubada when the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) came over to us. Bashir Ibn Sa`d asked him, "O Messenger of Allah! Allah ordered us to say salawat for you. How can we say salawat for you?" The Prophet answered:

Say as follows: Allahumma salli ala Muhammadin wa ala al-i Muhammad, kama sallayta ala Ibrahima wa barik ala Muhammadin wa ala al-i Muhammadin kama barakta ala al-i Ibrahima innaka hamidun majid.

O my Allah! Incline to Muhammad and to those who adhered to him as You inclined to Abraham and bless Muhammad and those who adhered him, as you blessed Abraham. Verily, you are all Praiseworthy all Glorious."

(The Messenger of Allah added): Greeting is as you know.

A narration from Abu Humayd as-Saidi is as follows:

The Companions asked: "O Messenger of Allah! How shall we say salawat for you?

The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: Say as follows: Allahumma salli ala Muhammadin wa ala azwajihi wa dhurriyyatihi kama sallayta ala Ibrahima wa barik ala Muhammadin wa ala azwajihi wa dhurriyyatihi kama barakta ala Ibrahima innaka hamidun majid.

O my Allah! Incline to Muhammad, his wives and his descendants as You inclined to Abraham and bless Muhammad, his wives and his descendants as you blessed Abraham. Verily, you are all Praiseworthy all Glorious.

A narration from Ka`b Ibn Ujra is as follows: O Messenger of Allah! We learned how to greet you but we do not know how to say salawat for you. He said:

Say as follows: Allahumma salli ala Muhammadin wa ala al-i Muhammadin kama sallayta ala Ibrahima innaka hamidun majid. Allahumma barik ala Muhammadin wa ala al-i Muhammad, kama barakta ala ali Ibrahima innaka hamidun majid. (1)

The reason why the decree about reading salli barik supplications in prayer is different is the different answers given to the questions of the Companions at different times.

However, the common point is that all of them include salawat words that express supplication.

- Why are Salli and Barik supplications read in prayer?
- Did the Prophet himself read Salli and Barik supplications in prayer?
- Why do we not say salawat for other prophets, for instance Hz. Adam, but for Hz. Ibrahim when we read "Salli Barik" supplications at the end of prayers?
