Virtues of Salutations Upon Prophet PBUH

Al-Quran & Importance of Salutation to prophet PBUH

Alhmdulillah we are dedicated to promoting the teachings of Al-Quran and emphasizing the importance of salutation to the prophet PBUH and its virtues. The holy Quran emphasizes the importance of sending blessings and salutations upon Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in several verses . we believe as Muslims that sending blessings upon the Prophet (PBUH) is a way to show love, respect, and gratitude towards him. It is also believed that sending blessings upon the Prophet (PBUH) brings numerous benefits, such as the forgiveness of sins, elevation of status, and acceptance of Dua /Prayer .There are several ways to send blessings upon the Prophet (PBUH), such as reciting the durood sharif, which is a prayer that invokes blessings upon the Prophet (PBUH) . Muslims also send blessings upon the Prophet (PBUH) during their daily prayers and other religious rituals .

We promote the teachings of Al-Quran and the importance of salutation to the prophet PBUH. At London Muslims, we believe in the power of knowledge and understanding. Through various programs and initiatives, we aim to educate individuals about the teachings of the Quran and the significance of sending salutations to the prophet PBUH. We strive to create an inclusive and welcoming environment where everyone can learn, practice, and grow in their faith. Join us on this journey of spirituality and enlightenment as we work together to make a difference in the lives of Muslims in London & around the globe .Our goal is to foster a virtuous community that embodies the principles of Islam and creates a positive impact in London. Participate us in spreading peace, love, and unity within the Muslim community and beyond.

اِنَّ اللّٰهَ وَمَلٰۤىِٕكَتَهٗ يُصَلُّوْنَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّۗ يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا صَلُّوْا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوْا تَسْلِيْمًا   ( الأحزاب: ٥٦ 

Surely, Allah and His angels send blessings to the Prophet. O you who believe, do pray Allah to bless him, and send your Salām (prayer for his being in peace) to him in abundance.

What virtue could be greater than Allāh and His angels also participating with the believers in this act?

Allāh has ordained many different commands in the Qur’ān such as prayer (ṣalāh), fasting, pilgrimage (ḥajj) etc. After creating Sayyidunā Ādam ‹, He ordered the angels to prostrate towards him. However, nowhere has Allāh stated in any command or in any honour that He is also a participant in this act and that the believers should follow suit. This respect is solely for the Leader of both worlds, the Pride of the World . Allāh first attributes the act of conferring ṣalāt towards Himself and after attributing it towards His angels, finally orders the believers that they too should also confer ṣalāt upon him.

Inna As Great Emphasis

the verse begins with the particle inna adding great emphasis to its meaning

present & future tense

Allāma Sakhāwī (may Allāh have mercy on him) writes, “The verse, being in the present and future tenses which denote continuity and permanence, establishes that Allāh and His angels are always conferring blessings upon the Noble Prophet(Sallallahu A’lihi Wassalam) .”

Paramount Respect and Esteem

paramount respect and esteem of the Noble Prophet(Sallallahu A’lihi Wassalam) by being addressed with nabī in this verse rather than with his name Muḥammad

Salat from Allah Meaning

1-Allāh’s conferring ṣalāt upon the Noble Prophet(Sallallahu A’lihi Wassalam) means Allāh is praising and honouring him with mercy and kindness.

Salat from Angles Meaning

2-The angels are also conferring ṣalāt but their ṣalāt, blessings and respect will be according to their own position. Thereafter, the believers are ordered to confer blessings [which is also in accordance to their own status].

This honour granted by Allāh to the Noble Prophet(Sallallahu A’lihi Wassalam) is much greater than the
respect shown to Sayyidunā Ādam ‹ by means of ordering the angels to prostrate before him, because Allāh Himself is engaged in this honour of the Noble Prophet(Sallallahu A’lihi Wassalam) , whereas only the angels were ordered to prostrate before Sayyidunā Ādam

قَالَ الْبُخَارِيُّ: قَالَ أَبُو الْعَالِيَةِ: صَلَاةُ اللَّهِ: ثَنَاؤُهُ عَلَيْهِ عِنْدَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ، وَصَلَاةُ الْمَلَائِكَةِ: الدُّعَاءُ. Imām Bukhārī (may Allāh have mercy on him) has narrated from Abū Āliya (may Allāh have mercy on him) that the meaning of Allāh conferring ṣalāt is to praise the Noble Prophet(Sallallahu A’lihi Wassalam) in the presence of the angels and the blessings of the angels are their prayers.

Sayyidunā Ibn Abbās `وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: يُصَلُّونَ: يبرِّكون.
has interpreted yuṣallūna [in the verse] as yubarrikūna, meaning they pray for blessings.

Salat from Believers Meaning

The meaning of the believers conferring blessings is following the Noble Prophet(Sallallahu A’lihi Wassalam) ,having love for him and mentioning his beautiful qualities.

also means praise and respect of the Noble Prophet(Sallallahu A’lihi Wassalam) with mercy and affection.

Ḥāfiẓ Ibn Ḥajar (may Allāh have mercy on him) states that Allāh’s ṣalāt is praising the Noble rophet(Sallallahu A’lihi Wassalam) and that the ṣalāt of the angels and others is requesting Allāh to confer ṣalāt.

It is mentioned in a narration that when this verse was revealed, the Companions` said, “O Messenger of Allāh , we know how to convey salām (the salām in the al-taḥiyyāt [in the five daily prayers]: As-salāmu alayka ayyuhan nabiyyu wa raḥmatullāhi wa barakātuhu). Teach us how to confer ṣalāt.” The Noble Prophet(Sallallahu A’lihi Wassalam) then taught the following: Allāhumma ṣalli alā Muḥammadin wa alā āli Muḥammad

The Noble Prophet(Sallallahu A’lihi Wassalam) taught the method thereto; request Allāh to eternally confer his infinite mercies upon him, for the blessings and mercies of Allāh are boundless. our
blessings could not reach the due right, we made this request to Allāh; He alone truly knows what befits the status of the Prophet(Sallallahu A’lihi Wassalam) . This is the same as in the supplication of the Noble Prophet(Sallallahu A’lihi Wassalam) : “

Whoever loves something mentions it frequently.”

Mentioning Nabi rather than Name out of respect & honor

The scholars have noted that the Noble Prophet(Sallallahu A’lihi Wassalam) is being addressed with nabī in this verse rather than with his name Muḥammad , as in the case of other Prophet(Sallallahu A’lihi Wassalam)s who have been mentioned by name. This is out of paramount respect and esteem of the Noble Prophet(Sallallahu A’lihi Wassalam) . In one place where the Noble Prophet(Sallallahu A’lihi Wassalam) and Sayyidunā Ibrāhīm have been mentioned together, the Noble Prophet(Sallallahu A’lihi Wassalam) is mentioned by nabī and Sayyidunā Ibrāhīm is mentioned by name. Allāh says,

إِنَّ أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِإِبْرَاهِيْمَ لَلَّذِيْنَ اتَّبَعُوْهُ وَهَذَا النَّبِيُّ وَالَّذِيْنَ آمَنُوْا وَاللَّهُ وَلِيُّ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ

Surely the nearest of mankind to Ibrāhīm are those who followed him and this Prophet(Sallallahu A’lihi Wassalam) and those who believe. And Allāh is the patron of the believers. (Āl Imrān 3:68)

عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ قَالَ

عِنْدَهُ فَلْيُصَلِّ عَلَيَّ وَمَنْ صَلَّى عَلَيَّ مَرَّةً صَلَّى االلهُ عَلَيْهِ عَشْرًا

وفي رواية مَنْ

صَلَّى عَلَيَّ صَلَوةً وَاحِدَةً صَلَّى االلهُ عَلَيْهِ عَشْرَ صَلَوَاتٍ وَّحَطَّ عَنْهُ عَشْرَ سَيِّئَاتٍ وَّرَفَعَهُ بِهَا عَشْرَ دَرَجَاتٍ
رواه أحمد والنسائي واللفظ له وابن حبان في صحيحه آذا في الترغيب

Sayyidunā Anas narrates that the Noble Prophet(Sallallahu A’lihi Wassalam) said, “The person in whose presence I am mentioned should confer blessings upon me. Whoever confers blessings upon me
once, Allāh confers ten blessings upon him.” In one narration, the Noble Prophet(Sallallahu A’lihi Wassalam) said, “Whoever confers one blessing upon me, Allāh confers ten blessings upon him, forgives ten of his sins and elevates his status tenfold.”

in Al-Targhīb with the addition that the suppliant receives the reward of freeing ten slaves.

In a ḥadīth recorded by Ṭabrāni, it is narrated,

“Whoever confers one blessing upon me, Allāh confers ten blessings upon him. Whoever confers ten blessings upon me, Allāh confers onehundred blessings upon him. Whoever confers one hundred blessings upon me, Allāh writes ‘Freedom from hypocrisy and freedom from the Hellfire’ on the
suppliant’s forehead. On the Day of Judgement, this person will be resurrected with the martyrs.”

Allāma Sakhāwī (may Allāh have mercy on him) has narrated on the authority of Sayyidunā Abū Hurayra that the Noble Prophet(Sallallahu A’lihi Wassalam) said,

“Whoever confers ten blessings upon me, Allāh will confer one hundred blessings upon him. Whoever confers one hundred blessings upon me,Allāh will confer one thousand blessings upon him, and whoever confers more due to love and devotion, I shall intercede for him on the Day of Judgement and be a witness for him.”

Long prostration to be thankfully

This has also been narrated on the authority of Sayyidunā Abdurraḥmān bin Awf . He says, “From amongst four or five of us, at least one of us would always remain with the Noble Prophet(Sallallahu A’lihi
Wassalam) to attend to his needs. One day the Noble Prophet(Sallallahu A’lihi Wassalam) went into a garden and I followed him. The Noble Prophet(Sallallahu A’lihi Wassalam) performe ṣalāh therein and prostrated for such a long time that I feared the Noble Prophet(Sallallahu A’lihi Wassalam) had passed away. I began crying due to this fear and went close to the Noble Prophet(Sallallahu A’lihi Wassalam) to observe him. After the Noble Prophet(Sallallahu A’lihi Wassalam) arose from prostration, he asked, ‘O Abdurraḥmān, what is the matter?’I replied, ‘O Messenger of Allāh, you performed such a long prostration that I feared you had passed away.’The Noble Prophet(Sallallahu A’lihi Wassalam) replied,

‘Allāh has bestowed a favour upon me with regards to my followers. In gratitude for this favour, I
prostrated for so long. Allāh has informed me that whoever confers one blessing upon me, He will record ten good deeds for him and forgive ten of his sins.’”

Another Narration

Sayyidunā Abū Ṭalḥa Anṣārī 􀂍 narrates, “Once the Noble Prophet(SallallahuA’lihi Wassalam) came to us and he was extremely happy.The Companions 􀁠 said, ‘O Messenger of Allāh, we see that you are very happy today.’The Noble Prophet(Sallallahu A’lihi Wassalam) replied, ‘Yes, indeed. I have received a message from my Lord. Allāh has said that whoever from amongst my followers confers one blessing upon me, Allāh shall record ten good deeds for him, forgive ten of his sins and raise his status tenfold.’”

Ten Salah ,ten sins forgiven and angel make dua all the day until the day of resurrection

“One day the Noble Prophet(Sallallahu A’lihi Wassalam)’s blessed face was radiant with happiness
and his pleasure was quite noticeable. The Companions said, ‘O Messenger of Allāh, the happiness apparent on your face today has never been seen before.’ The Noble Prophet(Sallallahu A’lihi Wassalam) replied, ‘Why should it not be so? A few moments earlier, Jibrīl came to me and informed me,

‘Whoever from amongst your followers confers one blessing upon you, Allāh in return will write
ten good deeds in his book of deeds, forgive ten of his sins, raise his status tenfold
and an angel shall repeat to him what he said.’’

The Noble Prophet(Sallallahu A’lihi Wassalam) said, ‘I asked Jibrīl 􀂋 regarding this angel.’Jibrīl 􀂋 replied,

“Allāh has appointed an angel until the Day of Judgement whose duty it is to pray for whoever confers blessings upon you by saying ‘May Allāh confer blessings upon you too.’” (Al-Targhīb)

Conclusion

upon sending salah it is being elevated tenfold, forgiveness of ten sins, ten good deeds in the book of good deeds and the reward equivalent to that of freeing ten slaves

Allāma Sakhāwī (may Allāh have mercy on him) narrates from Qūt al-Qulūb that conferring in abundance means at least three hundred times.

Virtue Of scholars

Under the abovementioned ḥadīth, Allāma Sakhāwī (may Allāh have mercy on him) writes that Ibn Ḥibbān (may Allāh have mercy on him) has mentioned in his Ṣaḥīḥ that

this ḥadīth is evident proof that those closest to the Noble Prophet(Sallallahu A’lihi assalam) on the Day of Judgement will be the ḥadīth scholars (muḥaddithūn), since they confer the most blessings.
Abū Ubaydah (may Allāh have mercy on him) has also said that this virtue is reserved for the ḥadīth scholars. The reason for this is that when they narrate or write ḥadīths, they always confer blessings with the Noble Prophet(Sallallahu A’lihi Wassalam)’s auspicious name.

In another ḥadīth, it is narrated,

“Conferring blessings upon me shall be a source of light on the Day of Judgement in the darkness of the Bridge. Whoever wishes for his deeds to be weighed in a very large scale should abundantly confer
blessings upon me.”

A ḥadīth on the authority of Sayyidunā Anas 􀂍 narrates that

the person most protected from the horrors of the Day of Judgement and the various stages therein will be the person who confers the most blessings upon the Noble Prophet(Sallallahu A’lihi Wassalam) in this life.

In Zād al-Saīd, it is narrated on the authority of Sayyidunā Anas 􀂍 that

the Noble Prophet(Sallallahu A’lihi Wassalam) said, “Whoever confers blessings upon me abundantly shall be in the shade of the Throne.”

Allāma Sakhāwī (may Allāh have mercy on him) narrates a ḥadīth of the Noble Prophet(Sallallahu A’lihi Wassalam) wherein three people are promised the shade of Allāh’s Throne on the Day of Judgement, the day on which there will be no shade except for His shade.

1-The first is the person who removes a difficulty from a person in affliction.

2-The second is he who revives a practice of the Noble Prophet(Sallallahu A’lihi Wassalam) .

3-The third is the person who abundantlyconfers blessings upon the Prophet(Sallallahu A’lihi Wassalam) .

In another ḥadīth, Allāma Sakhāwī (may Allāh have mercy on him) narrates on the authority of Sayyidunā Umar 􀂍 that the Noble Prophet(Sallallahu A’lihi Wassalam) said,

“Beautify your gatherings with ṣalāt, for conferring blessings upon me shall be a light for you on the Day of Judgement.”

In Zād al-Saīd, it is mentioned that Ṭabrāni has narrated that the Noble Prophet(Sallallahu A’lihi Wassalam) said,

“Whoever confers blessings upon me in a book (i.e. in writing), the angels shall continue conferring blessings upon him as long as my name remains in this book.”

Entitlement of prophet pbuh Intercession

Ṭabrāni also narrates that the Noble Prophet(Sallallahu A’lihi Wassalam) said,

قَالَ قَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ مَنْ صَلَّى عَلَيَّ 􀂍 عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ
حِيْنَ يُصْبِحُ عَشْرًا وَّحِيْنَ يُمْسِيْ عَشْرًا أَدْرَآَتْهُ شَفَاعَتِيْ يَوْمَالْقِيَامَةِ
رواه الطبراني بإسنادين أحدهما جيد لكن فيه انقطاع آذا في القول البديع

“Whoever confers ten blessings upon me in the morning and ten blessings in the evening shall be blessed with my intercession on the Day of Judgement.”

In Zād al-Saīd, it is narrated from Al-Mawāhib al-Ladunniyya that on the Day of Judgement, a certain believer will have less good deeds. The Noble Prophet(Sallallahu A’lihi Wassalam) will place a small piece of paper the size of a fingertip on the scale, whereby the pan of good deeds will become heavy. The believer will say, “May my parents be sacrificed for your sake. Who are you? How beautiful your appearance and character are!” The Noble Prophet(Sallallahu A’lihi Wassalam) will reply,

“I am your Prophet(Sallallahu A’lihi Wassalam) and these are the blessings you conferred
upon me. I have recompensed them in your time of need.”

Hundred Needs to be fulfilled by salat

It is narrated from Imām Mustaghfirī (may Allāh have mercy on him) that the Noble Prophet(Sallallahu A’lihi Wassalam) said,

“The person who confers one hundred blessings upon me daily, one hundred of his needs shall be fulfilled; thirty in this world and the rest in the Hereafter.”

Conclusion of virtues of salat to prophet pbuh

• Allāma Sakhāwī briefly mentioned the rewards promised for conferring blessings upon the Noble Prophet(Sallallahu A’lihi Wassalam) as under
• 1- : Allāh’s conferring of blessings upon the suppliant,
• 2-conferring of blessings by the angels and by the Noble Prophet(Sallallahu A’lihi Wassalam) himself,
• 3- an atonement of the suppliant’s sins, purification of his deeds, increase in his status, forgiveness for his sins, the blessing itself seeking forgiveness on behalf of the suppliant,
