Further prayer learning

Sahih al-Bukhari 3370

One of the well-known salawat wordings taught to the companions.

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَىٰ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَىٰ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَلَىٰ آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ، اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَىٰ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَىٰ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَلَىٰ آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ

O Allah, send prayers upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad ... O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad ...

After tashahhud, many Muslims send blessings on the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him.
It should not be confused with the five obligatory prayers themselves, nor with the minimum core structure of prayer a beginner is learning first.
It is learned after the core structure of prayer is already becoming clear and settled.
