definition for: #PBUH

Peace be upon him is a phrase that practising Muslims often say after saying (or hearing) the name of one of the Prophets of Islam. There are three variants of this phrase in Arabic: "Peace be upon him": (Arabic: ???? ??????? ?alayhi s-sal?m - A.S.) - this expression follows after naming any prophet other than Muhammad, or one of the archangels (i.e. Jibreel, Mikaeel, etc.) "May Allah pray on him and grant him peace.": (Arabic: ??? ???? ???? ????? ?all All?hu ?alay-hi wa-sallam - S.A.W., SAAW, or SAAS) - this expression follows specifically after saying the name of the last prophet of Islam, Muhammad. "May Allah grant peace and pray on him and his family.": (Arabic: ??? ???? ???? ????? ?all Allahu ?alayhi wa-??lih - S.A.W.W.) - this expression follows specifically after saying the name of the last prophet of Islam, In Arabic these salutations are called ?alaw?t, and are abbreviated by some with the use of SAW (in accordance with the Arabic words sallallahu alayhi wasallam) or PBUH (which stands for Peace be upon him in English). However, this practice is considered to be controversial among senior Islamic scholars who disagree with this use on the basis that it demonstrates a lack of respect and laziness.[1][2][3] The phrase is also encoded as a ligature at Unicode codepoint U+FDFA
