Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim.

Assalaamu 'alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu,

I say that it is wrong to abbreviate them as they are du'as. Read an article at the following link regarding abbreviating Sallallahu 'alaihi wa Sallam:

As for '786' for Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim, I say this is also wrong. Not only because it is just the numbers, but also because this number is used for other things. There was an article by Mufti Ebrahim Desai (Damat Barakatuhum) regarding this, but unfortunately, I can't find it now.
