Wuhayb Al Ward's son would supplicate saying, "O Allah, give Muhammad the best of whatever he asked You for himself, and give to him the best of what any of Your creation has asked of You for him. And give Muhammad the best of all that You will be asked for until the Day of Resurrection."
Masood's son said, "When you ask for blessings upon the Prophet, make the prayer excellent. You do not know if it will be shown to him. Say, 'O Allah, bestow Your praise, Your mercy and Your blessings on the Master of the Messenger, the Leader of those who fear You, the Leader of the Good and the Messenger of Mercy."
The preceding are but a taste of the multitude of prayers both brief and long in praise of our beloved Prophet and his family, praise and peace be upon him and them.
The 'peace' as you have been taught quoted by Masood's son is what the Prophet taught in the final sitting when he said, "Peace be upon us and upon the righteous worshipers of Allah."
The supplication of Imam Ali in the final sitting of his prayer in which one bears witness to the Oneness of Allah before the greeting of peace reads, "Peace be upon the Prophet. Peace be upon all the prophets and messengers of Allah. Peace be upon the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon Muhammad, son of Abdullah. Peace be upon us and upon all believers, men and women alike, those who are absent and those who are present. O Allah, forgive Muhammad and accept his intercession and forgive the People of his House. Forgive me and my parents, and their descendants, and have mercy upon them. Peace be upon all the righteous worshipers of Allah. Peace be upon you, O Prophet and the mercy of Allah and His blessings."
Abu Omar, Abdul Barr's son and others are of the opinion that one should not ask for mercy for the Prophet rather one should ask for praise and blessings specific to him. They say that one should only ask for mercy and the forgiveness for others.
In the prayer on the Prophet Abu Muhammad, Abu Zayd's son included, "O Allah, have mercy on Muhammad (because the Prophet was sent as a mercy himself) and the family of Muhammad as You had mercy on Abraham and the family of Abraham." This is not based on a prophetic quotation, rather its proof lies in the words in the greeting of peace. "Peace be upon you O Prophet, the mercy of Allah and His blessings."
The Excellence of the Supplication and Further Supplications
Abdullah, Amr's son reports the saying of the Prophet "When you hear the Caller to Prayer, repeat what he says and ask for blessings upon me. Whosoever asks for blessings upon me once, Allah blesses him ten times. Thereafter ask for the rank of the position of intermediary (wasila) for me.
