Rasulullah S.A.W. said, "I only curse 3 types of people;
Those people who do not look after their parents when they are in old age.
Those people who do not take full advantage of the blessed month of Ramadan.
Those people who don not say, ‘Salallahu -Alayhay- -Wa-Aalahay Wasallam’ when my name is mentioned."
Please People use the complete darood ( at least try to use "'Salallahu -Alayhay- -Wa-Aalahay Wasallam) when ever prophet Mohammad :saw: name is mentioned. Just by saying P.B.U.H doesnt justify the respect of prophet Mohammad :saw:. Its all about being lazy and compromising with the respect of prophet Mohammad :saw:. YES we might mean it in our hearts but one should show it too when ever his name comes.
Another thing, P.B.U.H can be used with any respective figure in the world. Darood like '‘Salallahu -Alayhay- -Wa-Aalahay Wasallam’ was only made for him and will ONLY be used for him.
Re: Importance of Darood Shareef With The Name of Prophet Mohammad saw
Bukhari in his Sahih, Volume III,
Muslim in his Sahih, Volume I,
Sulayman Balkhi in his Yanabiu’l Mawadda, and
Hajar in his Sawa’iq quotes Ka’b Bin Ajza as saying:
“When the verse: ‘Verily, Allah and His angels bless the Prophet…’ (33:56) was revealed, we asked the Holy Prophet, ‘How should we pray for our blessings for you, Apostle of Allah?’ The Prophet replied, ‘Pray for your blessings in this way: “O Allah, bless (the Prophet) Muhammad and Ahle Muhammad.”’”
Imam Fakhru’d-Din Razi, in Volume VI of his Tafsir-e-Kabir, also narrates a similar hadith. Ibn Hajar, commenting on the tradition, indicates that it is clear from the hadith that praying for blessings for the Holy Prophet is equal to praying for blessings on his descendants as well. He also quotes the Holy Prophet as saying: “Don’t be incomplete in praying for blessings for me.” When asked what he meant by ‘incomplete’ blessings, he said: "Do not say, ‘O Allah, bless Muhammad,’ but say, ‘O Allah, bless Muhammad and his descendants.’"
Dailami writes that the Prophet said: “Our prayer remains obstructed unless we pray for blessings upon the Prophet and his people.” Shafi’i says, “O Ahle Bait! In the Holy Qur’an Allah has made love for you compulsory for us. Regarding the loftiness of your rank and position, it is sufficient to know that if a man does not pray for divine blessings for you, his prayer is not accepted.” If the prayer for blessings for the Prophet and his descendants is deliberately omitted, the ritual prayer is rejected. And the Prophet said: “The ritual prayer is the pillar of faith; if the prayer is accepted, all other deeds are accepted; if it is rejected, all other deeds are rejected.”
To pray for divIne blessings for the Ahle Bait is the sunna (commendable practice) and a mode of worship which was performed by the Holy Prophet himself. We are proud to do what the Holy Qur’an and the Holy Prophet have enjoined us to do.
this might be misplaced flippancy but i've always found "shareef" after durood to be a curious adjective. for one its non-essential, it does not provide more information, neither for the purpose of description nor identification, nor is a durood something that needs be referred to as the decent durood.
what is the origin of that, and why do people insist on using it when it is both nonsensical and non-essential?

It’s a custom of urdu language. People use many similar words like Quran Shareef, Bukhari Shareef, Darbar Shareef etc. Similarly Abba Hazoor, Amma Hazoor Taya Hazoor etc. They use these words in respect.
O Allah! send prayers on Muhammad, and on his Ahle Bait, and on his wives and progeny, as you sent prayers on the family of Abraham; You are indeed Worthy of Praise, Full of Glory. And send blessings on Muhammad, and his Ahle Bait, and his wives and progeny, as you sent blessings on the family of Abraham; You are indeed Worthy of Praise, Full of Glory.
