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
The closest of people to me on the Day of Judgement shall be those who sent the most ṣalāt upon me.[1]
سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه Dear Islamic brothers! What an esteemed act of worship it is to send ṣalāt upon the Prophet. Through its blessings, we can become close to him.
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 most ease will be he 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 sending ṣalāt upon the Prophet 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]
