The Incident of the People of the Trench
Saints of Islam have quoted, that whoever recites this ṣalāt at least once on the night between Thursday and Friday on a regular basis, will be blessed with the vision of the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم at their time of death. They will even see him when they are being buried in the grave, to the extent they will see him lowering them into the grave with his own merciful hands. [1]
اَللّٰھُمَّ صَلِّ عَلٰی سَیِّدِ نَا وَ مَوْلَانَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَّ عَلٰی اٰلِہٖ وَسَلِّمْ
It is narrated from Anas رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ that the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم stated, “Whoever recites this ṣalāt upon me whilst standing, his sins will be forgiven prior to him sitting; and if he recites it whilst sitting, his sins will be forgiven before he stands.”[2]
صَلَّی اللّٰہُ عَلٰی مُحَمَّدٍ
Seventy portals of mercy are opened for whoever recites this ṣalāt.[3]
4. The reward of 600,000 ṣalāt
اَللّٰھُمَّ صَلِّ عَلٰی سَیِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ عَدَدَ مَا فِیْ عِلْمِ اللّٰہِ صَلَاۃً دَ اۤ ئِمَۃًۢ بِدَوَامِ مُلْكِ اللّٰہِ
