Usage notes
It is commonplace in Islamic culture to follow mention of the prophet Muhammad's name with (SAW) or (PBUH).
As with PBUH, the use of the abbreviation, rather than the full “sallalahu aleyhi wasallam”, is proscribed by some as lazy and insufficiently respectful; see discussion at Wikipedia.
