اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَىٰ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
Allāhumma ṣalli ʿalā Muḥammadin wa ʿalā āli Muḥammad.
O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad.

The return on it

The Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever sends one blessing upon me, Allah sends ten blessings upon him.” (Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 408) It is the one act of worship where the reward is stated as a multiple returned directly by Allah. He ﷺ also said: “The closest of people to me on the Day of Resurrection will be those who send the most blessings upon me.” (Tirmidhī 484)

Fridays especially

“Send abundant blessings upon me on Friday, for your blessings are shown to me.” (Abū Dāwūd 1047, Ibn Mājah 1085) Many keep Friday as a fixed day for a larger count for this reason. Ubayy ibn Kaʿb once asked the Prophet ﷺ how much of his duʿā he should devote to ṣalawāt; when he offered all of it, the Prophet ﷺ replied: “Then your worries will be taken care of and your sins forgiven.” (Tirmidhī 2457)

How many, and when

There is no obligatory number outside of prayer, where Durūd Ibrāhīm is recited in the final sitting. The counter above is set to 100, a figure many take as a daily habit. The short form at the top is enough on its own; the fuller Durūd Ibrāhīm is better where you have the time and attention for it.

The fuller wording
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَىٰ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَىٰ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَلَىٰ آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ
Allāhumma ṣalli ʿalā Muḥammadin wa ʿalā āli Muḥammad, kamā ṣallayta ʿalā Ibrāhīma wa ʿalā āli Ibrāhīm, innaka Ḥamīdun Majīd.
O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad, as You sent blessings upon Ibrāhīm and upon the family of Ibrāhīm. Indeed, You are Praiseworthy, Glorious.
Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 3370 — the full Durūd Ibrāhīm, recited in the sitting of every prayer.
