Provisions Of Salatul Ibrahim In Quran And Hadith

Allah Subhanahu Wata’ala says:

Indeed, Allah and His angels send blessings to the Prophet. O you who believe, invoke Allah to bless him, and send your salām (prayer for his being in peace) to him in abundance.”

Surah Ahzab 33:56

Whoever sends salah upon me once, Allah will send salah upon him tenfold, erase ten sins from him, and will raise him ten degrees in status.” (Nasa’i)

“Allah has angels who travel around the earth conveying to me the salam of my ummah.” (Nasa’i)

“The closest of people to me on the Day of Judgement will be those who send the most salah upon me.” (Tirmidhi)

What does salah mean?

Salah means Mercy and praise among the loftiest assembly of angels.

Salam means Protection from all harm and evil.

Salah also means ‘honour him’ i.e. honour him in the world by elevating his mention, granting victory to his din and preserving his shari‘ah; and honour him in the hereafter by rewarding him abundantly, accepting his succession on behalf of his ummah and granting him the loftiest station of glory (maqam mahmud).

Sending abundant salah upon the Messenger of Allah SAW is a manifestation of our love, reverence and obedience to him.

Sent as a mercy for mankind, he SAW constantly remembered us and worried about us.

On one occasion he SAW lifted his hands and weeping, he invoked:

“O Allah! My ummah, my ummah!” Allah sent Jibril down with the glad tidings of: “Muhammad, surely we will please you in regards to your ummah and we will not cause you grief.” (Muslim)

In every salah, he asked Allah to forgive us. (Ibn Hibbān)

He missed us and yearned to see us. He once said: “I wish to see my brothers!” The companions asked him: “O Messenger of Allah, are we not your brothers?”

He replied: “You are my companions, but my brothers are those who have not yet come in the world. I will welcome them at the Hawdh (fountain).” (Nasa’i)

On the Day of Judgement, the other messengers will say: ‘Myself, myself ’, whereas the Messenger of Allah SAW, after praising Allah with a unique litany of praise, will be given the opportunity to ask and he will say: ‘My ummah, my ummah.’

Unlike the other messengers who had their exclusive du‘a’ accepted for them in this world, the Messenger reserved his du‘a’ for us: he will intercede for us on the Day of Judgement. (Bukhari)

The Messenger of Allah said: “Among the strongest in love for me in my ummah will be those who will come after me. Every one of them will wish to catch a glimpse of me even at the cost of his family and wealth.” (Muslim)
