ﷺ (Sallallaahu ‘Alayhi wa Sallam): The salaah and salaam of Allaah be upon His Prophet Muhammad.
The salaah of Allah upon Prophet Muhammad is His Praise of the Prophet before the angels who are close to (but below) Allaah, the Most High, who istawaa (ascended) upon His ‘arsh (Throne), which is above the seven heavens, in a manner that suits His Majesty. The angels also praise the Prophet (ﷺ). The salaam is Allaah’s safeguarding of the Prophet (ﷺ) from deficiencies and any kind of evil, and the protection of the Message with which he was entrusted. When the Muslim says ﷺ (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam), he invokes Allaah to grant His Praise and Security to the Prophet Muhammad and the protection of the Message of Islaam which was revealed to him (ﷺ).
