Chapter 1: The Prophet on Blessings and Peace
‘Whoever sends blessings upon me once, Allah sends blessings upon him tenfold.’ (An-Nasa’i)
‘May his nose be rubbed in the dust, a man in whose presence I am mentioned and he does not send blessings upon me.’ (Tirmidhi, Ahmad)
‘no people sit in a gathering in which they do not remember Allah or send blessings upon their Prophet but it will be a source of regret for them, then if He wills, He will punish them and if He wills, He will forgive them.’ (Tirmidhi)
‘When you hear the mu’adhdhin say what he says, then send blessings upon me, for whoever sends blessings upon me, Allah will send blessings upon him tenfold. Then ask Allah to grant me all-waseelah, for it is a station in Paradise which only one of the slaves of Allah will attain, and I hope that I will be the one. Whoever asks for all-waseelah for me, intercession will be due for him. (Muslim)
‘The nearest of the people to me on the Day of Resurrection will be those who send the most blessings upon me.’ (Tirmidhi)
‘When one of you offers supplication, let him start by glorifying and praising his Lord SWT, then sending blessings on the Prophet ﷺ and then let him supplicate for whatever he wishes.’ (Tirmidhi)
‘Whoever says when he hears the call to prayer: Allaahummah Rabba haadhihi’ d-da’wat it-taamati wa’s salaat il-qaa’imah, aati Muhammadan al-waseelata wa’l-fadeelah, wab’athu maqaaman mahmoodan alladhi wa’adtahu (O Allah, Lord of his perfect call and the prayer to be offered, grant Muhammad the highest station in Paradise and distinction, and resurrect him to the station of praise and honour that You have promised), will be granted my intercession on the Day of Resurrection.’ (Bukhari)
‘The closest of the people to me on the Day of Resurrection will be those who send the most blessings upon me.’ (Tirmidhi)
‘no one of you truly believed until I am dearer to him than his father, his child and all the people.’ (Muslim)
