Many Muslims when praying their daily prayers have to say the Salat Ibrahimiya.
The Salat-e-Ibrahimiya is "ALLAHUMMA SALLI 'ALA MUHAMMADIW WA 'ALA AALI MUHAMMADIN KAMAA SALLAITA 'ALA IBRAHIMA WA 'ALA AALI IBRAHIMA INNAKA HAMEEDUM MAJEED. ALLAHUMMA BAARIK 'ALA MUHAMMADIW WA 'ALA AALI MUHAMMADIN KAMAA BAARAKTA 'ALA IBRAHIMA WA 'ALA AALI IBRAHIMA INNAKA HAMEEDUM MAJEED."
This can be rendered to mean: "O Allah! Send prayers upon Muhammad and the Family of Muhammad, as Thou sent prayers upon Abraham and the Family of Abraham. Lo! Thou art Praiseworthy, Glorious. O Allah! Send blessings upon Muhammad and the Family of Muhammad, as Thou sent blessings upon Abraham and the Family of Abraham. Lo! Thou art Praiseworthy, Glorious."
Strictly speaking, it is incorrect to describe this or any of the following phrases as 'honorifics', since the latter are titles (as in the Persian form Hadrat-i Muhammad, where the honorific precedes the name). There seems to be no precise English word for the terms discussed here, but salawat could translate as 'blessings' or even 'prayers'.
There is also a number of other blessings that are used for Muhammad.
