The Prophet’s Neighbour
The excellences of sending ṣalāt upon the Prophet
Allah’s final Prophet, our master Muhammad صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم stated:
اَوْلَی النَّاسِ بِیْ یَوْمَ الْقِیَامَۃِ اَکْثَرُہُمْ عَلَیَّ صَلَاۃً
On the Day of Judgement, the person who will be closest to me will be the one who has recited the most ṣalāt upon me.[1]
سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه Dear Islamic brothers! What an esteemed act of worship reciting ṣalāt is. Through its blessings, we can become close to the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.
Mufti Aḥmad Yār Khan NaꜤīmī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه writes in his commentary upon this hadith:
On the Day of Judgement, the person who will experience the most ease will be the one who is close to the Messenger of Allah صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. The means of attaining this nearness is abundant recital of ṣalāt. This hadith shows that reciting ṣalāt is an excellent act of worship, as although Paradise is attained through all other worship, recital of ṣalāt makes one close to the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.[2]
صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
The final Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said:
اَفْضَلُ الْعَمَلِ اَلنِّيَّۃُ الصَّادِقَۃُ
A truthful intention is the best action.[3]
