Upon awakening, he made it compulsory upon himself to routinely recite Salat-‘Alan-Nabi one hundred times upon the Noble Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم every day. After sometime, he was again privileged to see the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم in his dream; the Noblest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم stated,      ‘I now recognise you and I will intercede on your behalf.’

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب       صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! It has become obvious that the Revered and Renowned Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم not only gets pleased with the reciter of Salat, but also blesses him with his sight in a dream. Therefore, if we also want to attain the pleasure of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, and wish to have his blessed sight in a dream, then we too should make Salat-‘Alan-Nabi our Wazifah (invocation) morning and evening and should do so from the bottom of our hearts, then اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ, one day we will definitely be blessed with the privilege of having his blessed sight.

In ‘Al-Wazifa-tul-Karimah’, A’la Hadrat Imam-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat, Maulana Shah Imam Ahmad Raza Khan عَـلَيْهِ رَحْمَةُ الـرَّحْمٰن has mentioned: One should recite    Salat-‘Alan-Nabi purely for the respect and reverence of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, do not have the intention to have the blessed sight of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم in the heart, then his favour is limitless and endless. Facing sacred Madinah and concentrating the heart towards the Prophet of Rahmah صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم he should fold his hands and then recite by imagining that he is present by the sacred mausoleum (Raudah Mubarak) of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and believe that the Noblest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is watching him, listening to him and is aware of the feelings of his heart. (Al-Wazifa-tul-Karimah, pp. 28)

Dear Islamic brothers! Acting upon this method as stated by A’la Hadrat      رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه, if we also develop the habit of reciting Salat-‘Alan-Nabi with sincerity and steadfastness, then اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ besides being privileged to have the blessed sight of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم we will also gain
