English

Interjection

PBUH

1. (Islam, proscribed, initialism) Peace be upon him; an honorific phrase used by some Muslims after any mention in speech or print of the Islamic prophet Muhammad.

Usage notes

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