Salwat

Do all Shia muslims say the salwat EXACTLY the same way that Ismaili's say the salwat?

Thank you for your response.

I heard what I think is the sunni version of salwat and you are right in that they do have one, although there's is only 2 lines, no reference to Aly.

Other Shia muslims, is there version of the Salwat the exact same as ours or are there differences?

'SALWAAT' is a short prayer. When reciting Salwaat we say:
"ALLAHUMMA SALI ALA MUHAMMADIN WA ALE MUHAMMAD".which means,

"O ALLAH! SHOWER THY BLESSINGS THROUGH MUHAMMAD AND HIS PROGENY
(i.e. HIS DESCENDANTS, THE HOLY IMAMS).

We say Salwaat with the names of our Prophet and Imams. We recite Salwaat as Tasbih in Chandraat Majlis and for the benefit of the soul of the dead. It is also recited during 'Mayat' (funeral) ceremony. In times of difficulties and troubles we must say the Salwaat. It is good to recite Salwaat as often as possible. We recite Salwaat before and after the reading of Holy Talika and Farman. To show our love, faith and devotion to our beloved Hazar Imam, we recite Salwaat when he blesses us with his Holy Noorani Didar.

Holy Farman

"When you go to Jamatkhana, recite Salwaat as many times as you possibly can. By this recitation, your sorrows and troubles will be removed, your sins will be forgiven, your enemies will be vanquished, you will be blessed with the holy Didar and you will earn salvation."

I don't get one thing clear.

In the Farman of Sultan Mohammad Shah, he is discussing of reciting Salwat in Bandagi. Chandraat main bandagi kareinge and ussme salwat ziada parheinge tow khuda aap k gunah maaf karega. I am sorry it's not the exact wordings. But I am confused. Imam is telling us to do bandagi in Chandraat majlis and recite salwat in it. I don't remember in my childhood days whether there was any bandagi for even 5-10 minutes like in 5-12 Saal Majalis and now when I notice, there isn't any bandagi in Chandraat Majlis.
