Question:

Assalamu'alaikum.I want to know what is the plural form of 'Alaihissalam? Thank you for reading and answering this.
Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

The plural form of the statement “Alayhi As-Salaam” (i.e. peace be upon him) is “ʿAlayhim As-Salaam” (i.e. peace be upon them), with the Meem letter indicating the plural form. In a Hadith whose chain of transmission is “good” by some scholars, the Messenger of Allah sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) said, “Confer peace and blessings upon the Prophets and Messengers of Allah, for Allah has sent them as He sent me.” So, whoever mentions a group of the Prophets and wants to confer peace and blessings upon them, he should say, “ʿAlayhim As-Salaatu Wa As-Salaam”, with the Meem letter.

Allah knows best.
