What is the difference between al-salat al-Fatihiyyah and al-salat al-Ibrahimiyyah, and are they Sunnah or innovations?
The Prophet urged abundant prayers upon him, and the best formula is the one he taught his companions: "O Allah, bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as You blessed Abraham and the family of Abraham. Verily, You are Praiseworthy, Most Glorious. O Allah, grant grace to Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as You granted grace to Abraham and the family of Abraham. Verily, You are Praiseworthy, Most Glorious."
It is permissible to use other formulas that contain no forbidden elements, such as "O Allah, bless Muhammad," but the best is what the Prophet taught his companions. As for the "Salat al-Fatihiyya," its formula is not known. If it refers to the innovated Salat al-Fatih, then it has a special ruling.
