Excellence of sending ṣalāt upon the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم

Sayyidunā Abū Dardāˈ narrates that the Messenger of Allah said:

عَنْ اَبِي الدَّرْدَاءَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم مَنْ صَلَّى عَلَيَّ حِيْنَ يُصْبِحُ عَشْرًا وَحِيْنَ يُمْسِي عَشْرًا اَدْرَكَتْهُ شَفَاعَتِيْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَة

“Whosoever recites ṣalāt upon me ten times in the morning and ten times in the evening, will receive my intercession on the Day of Judgement.”^[1]

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

The beloved Prophetصَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم    has stated: اَفْضَلُ الْعَمَلِ اَلنِّيَّۃُ الصَّادِقَۃُ, “A truthful intention is the best action.”^[2] O devotees of the Prophet! Make good intentions before every action, as this can be a means of entering Paradise. Before listening to the bayān, make good intentions. For example,

*   You will listen to the entire bayān to gain the knowledge of Islam.

*   You will sit in a respectful manner.

*   You will refrain from laziness during the bayān.

*   You will listen to the bayān to reform yourself.

*   Whatever you hear and learn, you will try to convey it to others.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
