Dear Brother / Sister,
According to Hanafi and Maliki madhhabs, it is sunnah to read “Salli-Barik” in the last sitting. According to Shafii and Hanbali madhhabs, it is a rukn, that is, fard. (see Wahba Zuhayli, al-Fiqhul-Islami, 2/850-852, 906)
According to Shafii and Hanbali madhhabs, the amount od salawat that is fard is «اللهم صل على محمد» “Allahumma salli ala Muhammad”. (see ibid, 2/855)
Their evidence is the following verse: “... O ye that believe! Send ye blessings on him, and salute him with all respect.” (al-Ahzab, 33/56)
The common form of salawat included in various sound narrations – though a bit different - are as follows in four madhhabs:
According to Hanafi madhhab, the most virtuous form of salawat is as follows: (see ibid 2/918):
اللهم صل على محمد وعلى آل محمد، كما صليت على إبراهيم وعلى آل إبراهيم، إنك حميد مجيد، وبارك على محمد وعلى آل محمد كما باركت على إبراهيم وعلى آل إبراهيم، إنك حميد مجيد
According to Maliki madhhab, the most virtuous form of salawat is as follows: (see ibid 2/920):
اللهم صل على محمد وعلى آل محمد، كما صليت على إبراهيم وعلى آل إبراهيم، وبارك على محمد وعلى آل محمد، كما باركت على إبراهيم وعلى آل إبراهيم، في العالمين، إنك حميد مجيد
According to Safii madhhab, the most perfect form of salawat is as follows: (see ibid 2/856):
اللهم صل على محمد وعلى آل محمد، كما صليت على إبراهيم وعلى آل إبراهيم، وبارك على محمد وعلى آل محمد، كما باركت على إبراهيم وعلى آل إبراهيم، إنك حميد مجيد.
The form of salawat in Hanbali madhhab is as it is included in the following hadith:
When a Companions asked the Prophet (pbuh) how to say salawat, the Prophet said, "Say as follows":
اللهم صل على محمد وعلى آل محمد، كما صليت على إبراهيم إنك حميد مجيد، وبارك على محمد وعلى آل محمد، كما باركت على آل إبراهيم، إنك حميد مجيد
