SAW

  1. (Islam, sometimes proscribed) صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ (ṣallā llāhu ʕalayhi wa-sallama, peace be upon him)
    Synonyms: PBUH, AS
Usage notes
[edit]

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.
