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

Indeed, Allah has appointed an angel at my grave, whom He has granted the power to hear all creation. Thus, whoever recites ṣalāt upon me until the Day of Judgement, that angel conveys to me his name and his father's name, ]and says[: "This is so-and-so, son of so-and-so, he has recited ṣalāt upon you."^[1]

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                            صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Speech intentions

The Messenger of Allah صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said:  اَفْضَلُ الْعَمَلِ اَلنِّيَّۃُ الصَّادِقَۃُ – “The best of deeds is a sincere intention.”^[2]

O those who love Allah’s Messenger! Make it a habit to form good intentions before every action, as good intentions can lead one to Paradise. Before listening to the speech, we can make the following good intentions:

*    I will listen to the entire speech to gain knowledge.

*    I will sit respectfully.

*    I will avoid being lazy.

*    I will listen with the intention of self-improvement.

*    I will try to convey what I learn to others.
