(There is another chain) reported from Muḥammad bin Ibrāhīm bin Al-Ḥārīth, from Muḥammad bin ʿAbdullāh bin Zaid, from ʿUqbah bin ʿAmr,[1] with this narration, he said: "Say: 'Allāhumma, ṣalli 'alā Muḥammadin an-nabiyyil-ummī wa 'alā āli Muḥammad.' (O Allāh! Send Your Ṣalāt upon Muḥammad, the unlettered Prophet, and upon the family of Muḥammad.)" (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Commentary

The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, is called 'Ummī' which, literally, means "unread," "unlettered." Applied to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, it means he did not receive his knowledge by conventional means. That is to say, he was not taught or tutored by any human being.
