The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said: ‘لَا طَاعَةَ فِي مَعْصِيَةٍ اِنَّمَا الطَّاعَةُ  فِي الْمَعْرُوْفِ’, i.e. No one’s obedience is permissible in disobedience to Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, obedience is (only permissible) in virtuous acts.

(Sahih Bukhari, vol. 4, pp. 493, Hadees 7257)

Similarly, whenever the blessed name of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is heard or taken, form your habit of reciting Salat-‘Alan-Nabi, because at the time of Beloved Prophet’s Zikr-e-Khayr, that person who does not recite Salat-‘Alan-Nabi, is called a miser in a blessed Hadees.

The Prophet of Rahmah, the Intercessor of the Ummah صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated: ‘اَلْبَخِيلُ الَّذِي مَنْ ذُكِرْتُ عِنْدَهُ فَلَمْ يُصَلِّ عَلَيَّ’, A miser is that person in whose presence when my name is mentioned, he does not recite Salat upon me.

(Sunan-ut-Tirmizi, vol. 5, pp. 321, Hadees 3557)

A legendary and leading scholar of Shari’ah and Tareeqah, ‘Allamah Maulana Mufti Muhammad Amjad ‘Ali A’zami رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has stated, ‘It is Fard (for a Muslim) to recite Salat-‘Alan-Nabi once in his life. In a congregation, it is Wajib to recite Salat whether he mentions the blessed name of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم himself or hears it from another person. Even if one hears the blessed name a hundred times in a gathering, he should recite Salat-‘Alan-Nabi each time. If someone mentions or hears the blessed name and did not recite Salat-‘Alan-Nabi at that time, he should recite it at any other time.’ (Bahar-e-Shari’at, vol. 1, pp. 101)

یا نبی! بے کار باتوں کی ہو عادت مجھ سے دُور

بس دُرُودِ پاک کی ہو خُوب کثرت یا رسول

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب       صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
