Shaykh al-Tusi, in Misbah al-Mutahajjid, and Sayyid Ibn Tawus, in Jamal al-Usbu`, have mentioned within the recommended acts on Fridays that it is recommended to visit the Holy Prophet (s) and the Holy Imams (peace be upon him) on Fridays. Imam Ja`far al-Sadiq (‘a) is reported to have said that one who intends to visit the tombs of the Holy Prophet, Imam Ali Amir al-Mu'minin, Lady Fatimah al-Zahra', Imam al-Hasan, Imam al-Husayn, and the Holy Imams (as) while he is in a remote place may bathe himself on Friday, put on two clean garbs, go to a desert, -or go up to a housetop, according to another narration- and then offer a four unit prayer reciting any Surah he can recite. When he finishes the prayer, he may stand up, face the kiblah direction, and say the following:

اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ ايُّهَا ٱلنَّبِيُّ
alssalamu `alayka ayyuha alnnabiyyu
Peace be upon you, O Prophet

(and peace be upon you) O descendants—the elite signs
وَٱلامَنَاءُ ٱلْمُنْتَجَبُونَ

Peace and Allah’s mercy and blessings be upon you all.
According to numerous narrations, the Holy Prophet (s) is informed about the greeting of those who greet him and the prayers of those who invoke Allah’s blessings upon him wherever they are. In this respect, a Hadith reads that an angel is commissioned to respond to everyone who says,
صَلَّىٰ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ
salla allahu `ala muhammadin wa alihi wa sallama
Allah may send peace and blessings upon Muhammad and his Household,
by saying, “peace be upon you, too.” That angle, then, tells the Holy Prophet (s) that so-and-so has greeted him; therefore, the Holy Prophet (s) says, “May peace be upon him, too.” According to a narration, the Holy Prophet (saw) has said, “He who visits my tomb after my death will be considered to have immigrated to me in my lifetime. If you cannot visit my tomb, you can send me greetings, for they reach me.”
FRIDAY SALWAAT
It is also advisable to repeat the following words that Imam `Ali (as) mentioned in one of his sermons on Friday, as is cited in the book of al-Rawdah min al-Kafi, representing an invocation of Allah’s blessings upon the Holy Prophet (s):     
«إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ وَمَلاَئِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَىٰ ٱلنَّبِيِّ
inna allaha wa mala'ikatahu yusalluna `ala alnnabiyyi
“Lo! Allah and His angels shower blessings on the Prophet.
يَا ايُّهَا ٱلَّذينَ آمَنُوٱ صَلُّوٱ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوٱ تَسْليماً.»
ya ayyuha alladhina amanu sallu `alayhi wa sallimu tasliman
O you who believe, ask blessings on him and salute him with a worthy salutation.”
اَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
