Summary
A hadith narrated by Muslim instructs the listener to repeat after the muezzin, then send blessings upon the Prophet, and then ask Allah to grant him the wasilah. According to Imam al-Nawawi, sending blessings after answering the call to prayer is recommended (sunat), as is asking for the wasilah. Answering the call itself is a emphasised sunnah, with each phrase repeated after the muezzin says it without long delay.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, berselawat kepada Nabi SAW merupakan satu tuntutan dan ia merupakan perkara yang sunat berdasarkan kenyataan Imam al-Nawawi di atas.
