Peace be upon him (Arabic: صلى الله عليه وسلم salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam, also transliterated as sallalahu aleyhi wasallam or salallahu alayhi wasalaam) is a phrase that Muslims often say after saying the name of a prophet of Islam.

An alternative translation is "May God bless him and grant him peace." In Arabic these salutations are called salawat. 'Peace be upon him' is abbreviated to "saw" or "pbuh."

agree  Khalid W: Depends on the audience -- "PBUH" will not be understood by non-Muslims. Also, I would say keep it "him", not "Him", since the capital letter on the pronouns is generally reserved for God.
