Act of worship which are prescribed on Fridays

Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah

Act of worship which are prescribed on Fridays

Sending a lot of blessings upon the Prophet (SAW) on Fridays.
It was narrated from Aws ibn Aws that the Prophet (SAW) said:
The best of your days is Friday. On that day Adam (pbuh) was created; on that day he died; on that day the Trumpet will be blown; and on that day all of creation will swoon. So send a great deal of blessings upon me, for your blessings will be shown to me.” They said, “O Messenger of Allaah, how will our blessings upon you be shown to you when you have turned to dust?” He said, “Allaah has forbidden the earth to consume the bodies of the Prophets, peace be upon them.”
-- Abu Dawood

Commentary from Riyad-as-Saliheen :
The most well-worded is "Ibrahimi salutation'' because the Prophet (SAW) himself taught it to his Companions.
The salutation is: Allahumma salli `ala Muhammadin wa `ala ali Muhammadin, kama sallaita `ala Ibrahima, wa `ala ali Ibrahima, innaka Hamidun Majeed. Allahumma barik `ala Muhammadin wa `ala ali Muhammadin, kama barakta `ala Ibrahima, wa `ala ali Ibrahima, innaka Hamidun Majeed.
