Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Holy Prophet's (s.a.w.) Advice To Abu Dharr How To Send Greetings To Holy (s.a.w.)? When sending greetings to , · some say: Peace be upon him (PBUH) · others say: Peace be upon him and his family (S.A.W.) · some others say are more generous and say: Peace be upon him and his family (Aalihi) and his wives (wa Azwajihi) and all his companions (wa Sahbihi Ajma'een).
