1. The first is that the word "salaama" is that of safety for you, and with you.
2. The second is "As-Salaamu", meaning your protection, being guarded and preservation, as found in the Name of Allah "As-Salaam".
3. The third is "As-Salaam", derived from the meaning of "musalaama" (reconciliation), and submission to the Prophet as in the Words of Allah, "But no, by your Lord, they will not believe you until they make you the judge regarding the disagreement between them, then, they will not find in themselves any discomfort concerning your verdict, and will surrender to you in full submission" (4:65).
The Ruling of the Supplication on the Prophet
Dear reader, one must be aware that Allah has commanded us to praise His Prophet . Praising the Prophet is a general obligation and is not restricted to a specific time. There is no dispute about its obligatory nature, however Abu Jaf'ar At-Tabari was of the opinion that this verse, "Allah, and His angels praise and venerate the Prophet. Believers, praise and venerate him and pronounce peace upon him in abundance" (33:56) is a recommendation.
When one praises the Prophet one fulfills the obligation, the performance of which voids the sin that would be present if one were not to do so.

Ash-Shafi'i elected the hadith narration which is read in the final sitting in each prayer which the Prophet taught Masood's son and others and does not refer to the Prophet by the use of the pronoun "him" "Peace be upon him", (rather, 'Peace be upon you, O Prophet'). Abu Hurayrah, Abbas' son, Jabir, Omar's son , Abu Sayed Al Khudri, Abu Musa Al Ash'ari and Abdullah, Az-Zubayr's son reported the same hadith narration as mentioned below.
Whenever we (Abdullah, Masood's son and others) offered the prayer behind the Prophet we would recite (as we sat) peace be upon Allah, peace be upon Gabriel, Michael and peace be upon so-and-so. There was an occasion when the Messenger of Allah looked back at us and said, "Allah, Himself is As-Salam (Peace), and if anyone of you prays then he should say:
