When I awoke, I gathered my friends and began reciting this Ṣalāt. We had only recited it 300 times when the storm receded and it gradually subsided. The sea became calm, and through the blessings of this Ṣalāt, all the people aboard the ship were saved.^[1]

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                     صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! Be it night or day, we should continue sending ṣalāt upon the beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. We should never fall short in this regard, because the beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has countless favours over us. He صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is the one who came to this world whilst prostrating and said:

رَبِّ ھَبْ لِیْ اُمَّتِی

“O my Lord, forgive my ummah!”^[2]

Imam al-Zurqānī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه mentions: “The beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم had his fingers raised in the manner that the one who is pleading does.”^[3]

At the time of departing for the journey of MiꜤrāj, the noble Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم remembered the sinners of his ummah and became tearful. Even at the time of being blessed with the vision of Allah Almighty and granted special bounties, he remembered the sinners of the ummah. ^[4]
