PBUH

English

Interjection

PBUH

1. (Islam, sometimes proscribed) Initialism of peace be upon him or peace be upon her; an honorific phrase used by some Muslims after any mention in speech or print of the Islamic prophet Muhammad or any other prophets or chosen figures believed by the majority of Muslims to be sent by God (Allah).

   Synonyms: AS, SAW

Usage notes

The use of the abbreviation, rather than the full “peace be upon him” (or "peace and blessings be upon him"), is proscribed by Salafis as lazy and insufficiently respectful; see discussion at Wikipedia.
