It is Mustahab that whenever a person hears or utters the sacred name of the holy Prophet of Islam like, Mohammad or Ahmad (peace be upon Him), or his title like, Mustafa or his patronymic appellation like Abul Qasim, he should recite Salawat (i.e. Allahumma salli ‘Ala Mohammadin wa Aali Mohammad), even if that happens during the Namaz, it is Mustahab to recite Salawat.

Ta'qib (Supplication after prayers)

1131. It is Mustahab that after offering the prayers, one should engage oneself in reciting Zikr, Duas (supplication), and reading from the holy Qur'an. It is better that before he leaves his place, and before his Wudhu, or Ghusl or Tayammum becomes void, he should recite Ta’qib facing Qibla.
