اِنَّ اللّٰہَ وَکَّلَ بِقَبْرِیْ مَلَکًااَعْطَاہُ اَسْمَاعَ الْخَلَائِقِ فَلَا یُصَلِّیْ عَلَیَّ اَحَدٌ اِلٰی یَوْمِ الْقِیَامَۃِ اِلَّا اَبْلَغَنِیْ بِاِسْمِہٖ وَاسْمِ اَبِیْہ ِہذَا فُلانُ بْنُ فُلانٍ قَدْ صَلّٰی عَلَیْکَ

Allah has indeed stationed an angel at my grave, to whom He granted ability to hear all of creation. None recites ṣalāt upon me until the Day of Judgement except it presents the name of the reciter and his father to me. [It says,] “This is so-and-so, child of so-and-so. He has recited ṣalāt upon you.”^{^[1]}

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! Before listening to the bayān, let’s first of all make good intentions for attaining the Divine pleasure and earning rewards. The beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said, ‘نِيَّةُ الۡمُؤۡمِنِ خَيۡرٌ مِّنۡ عَمَلِه’ The intention of a Muslim is better than his deed.^{^[2]}

An important point

For righteous and permissible work, the more good intentions we make, the more reward we attain.

Intentions for listening to the bayān

1. Lowering my eyes, I will listen to the bayān attentively.

2. Instead of resting against a wall, etc., I will sit in the al-Taḥiyyāt position as long as possible with the intention of showing respect for religious knowledge.
