The excellences of sending ṣalāt upon the Prophet

The final Prophet of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said:

مَنْ صَلَّى عَلَيَّ حِيْنَ يُصْبِحُ عَشْرًا وَحِيْنَ يُمْسِي عَشْرًا اَدْرَكَتْهُ شَفَاعَتِيْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَة

Whoever sends ṣalāt upon me ten times in the morning and ten times in the evening, shall receive my intercession on the Day of Judgement.^[1]  

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

The Prophetصَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم   has stated: اَفْضَلُ الْعَمَلِ اَلنِّيَّۃُ الصَّادِقَۃُ - “A truthful intention is the best action.”^[2] O those who love Allah’s Messenger! Make good intentions before every action, as this can be a means of entering Paradise. Before listening to this speech, make good intentions. For example:

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

*    You will sit in a respectful manner.

*    You will refrain from laziness during the speech.

*    You will listen to the speech to reform yourself.

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

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
