name, [and] says, ‘So and so has recited Salat upon you this time.’ (Al-Musnad-uz-Bazzaar, vol. 4, pp. 255, Hadees 1425)

کَربَلا والوں کا صَدَقَہ یا نبی!     دُور ہوں رَنج و اَلَم چَشمِ کرم

وِردِ لَب ہر دَم دُرُودِ پاک ہو    یا شَہِ عَرَب و عَجَم! چَشمِ کرم

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب              صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه عَزَّوَجَلَّ! How fortunate indeed is the Salat reciter that his name along with his father’s name is presented in the blessed court of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. This point is also a highly faith-enlightening here that the blessed angel appointed to the most sacred grave has been granted such a great power and ability of hearing that he can even listen to the extremely low voice of millions of Salat reciters across the world. Imagine, when this is the hearing power and knowledge of unseen of the servant appointed to the blessed tomb for carrying out services, then what will be the greatness and eminence of the authorities and knowledge of the unseen of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم? Why will he not recognise his devotees and why will he not help them after listening to their pleas with the permission of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ?

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب              صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! Before listening to the Bayan, let’s make good intentions for attaining rewards. The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said, ‘نِيَّةُ الۡمُؤۡمِنِ خَيۡرٌ مِّنۡ عَمَلِهٖ’ The intention of a believer is better than his action.
