An excellent way of receiving intercession

O devotees of the Prophet! An excellent way of gaining the intercession of the Final Prophet of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is to recite Salat upon the Prophet in abundance. اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه! In the method of becoming pious known as the ‘Pious Deeds’ booklet, we are encouraged to recite Salat upon the Prophet at least 313 times daily. How great would it be if we were to make a habit of reciting at least 313 Salat daily upon the one whose Mawlid we are celebrating. In order to seek intercession, let us now recite this Salat of intercession upon our Master صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, may Allah Almighty not deprive us from the intercession of His Beloved صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم: ‘اَللّٰھُمَّ صَلِّ عَلٰی مُحَمَّدٍ وَّاَنْزِلْہُ الْمَقْعَدَ الْمُقَرَّبَ عِنْدَکَ یَوْمَ الْقِیَامَۃِ’.^[1]

Sayyiduna Abbas رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ narrates that he said to the Beloved Prophet   صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, ‘O Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! It is the signs of your Prophethood that invited me to accept your religion. I saw that in your childhood, you would speak with the moon in the cradle, and you would indicate towards it with your finger and it would move in the direction that you would point.’ The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, ‘I would speak with the moon and the moon would speak with me, and it would stop me from crying. When the moon would prostrate under the Throne of Allah Almighty, I would hear the voice of its Tasbih at that time.^[2]

Dear Islamic brothers! It is not within the capacity of a human being to enumerate the specialities and perfections of the Beloved Prophet
