[11].Surah Hud (PBUH)

Ayat 69. And verily, there came Our Messengers to Ibrahim (Abraham)(PBUH) with glad tidings.They said: Salam (greetings or peace!) He answered, Salam (greetings or peace!) and he hastened to entertain them with a roasted calf.
Ayat 70. But when he saw their hands went not towards it (the meal), he felt some mistrust of them, and conceived a fear of them. They said: "Fear not, we have been sent against the people of Lout (Lot)(PBUH)."
Ayat 71. And his wife was standing (there), and she laughed (either, because the Messengers did not eat their food or for being glad for the destruction of the people of Lout (Lot). But We gave her glad tidings of Ishaque (Isaac)(PBUH), and after him, of Yaqub (Jacob)(PBUH).
Ayat 72. She said (in astonishment): "Woe unto me! Shall I bear a child while I am an old woman, and here is my husband, an old man? Verily! This is a strange thing!"
Ayat 73. They said: "Do you wonder at the Decree of Allah? The Mercy of Allah and His Blessings be on you, O the family [of Ibrahim (Abraham)(PBUH)]. Surely, He (Allah) is All-Praiseworthy, All-Glorious."        

English Translation of Hadith
Hazrat Abu Masud Al-Badri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: We were sitting in the company of Saad bin Ubadah (May Allah be pleased with him), when the Messenger of Allah  [SAWW](PBUH) came to us. Bashir bin Sa`d said: "O Messenger of Allah [SAWW]! Allah has commanded us to supplicate for you, but how should we do that?'' The Messenger of Allah  [SAWW](PBUH) kept silent. We were much perturbed over his silence and we wished he did not asked him this question. The Messenger of Allah  [SAWW](PBUH) said, "Say: `O Allah, exalt the mention of Muhammad  [SAWW] and the family of Muhammad  [SAWW] as you exalted the family of Ibrahim (PBUH). And bless Muhammad  [SAWW] and the family of Muhammad  [SAWW] as You blessed the family of Ibrahim (PBUH). You are the Praised, the Glorified,' and the method of greeting (i.e., Salam) is as you know.''

[Muslim]. [Muslim Book 004, Chapter 15, Hadith # 0803].

Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Hud Ayat 73. "The Mercy of Allah and His Blessings be on you, O the family [of Ibrahim (Abraham)(PBUH)]. In this Hadith, the Prophet  [SAWW](PBUH) has showed us that the manner of offering Salam to himself and Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham)(PBUH)]. was the same as the one mentioned in this Hadith. "Al'' means the wives of the Prophet  [SAWW](PBUH) and those of his relatives who were from Banu Hashim and Banu `Abdul-Muttalib and had embraced Islam. Some scholars are of the opinion that it is general and applies to all his followers.

This Hadith also teaches us that if one does not have knowledge of a religious matter, he must seek guidance from the knowledgeable scholars of Islam about it, rather than going by his opinion. Knowledgeable persons (scholars) here means persons who are well-versed in the Qur'an and Hadith and can answer questions in the light of them, and not from the sayings of others or from their own intelligence.
