On virtue of the prayer on the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace

Allah, ‘azza wa jalla, said: “Allah and His angels call down blessings on the Prophet. O you who believe! Call down blessings on him and ask for complete peace and safety for him.” (Qur’an 33:56) It is related that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, came out one day and joy could be seen in his face. He said, “Jibril, peace be upon him, came to me and said, ‘Are you not pleased, O Muhammad, that none of your community blesses you but that I bless him ten times, and none of your community prays for peace on you, but that I pray it for him ten times.'” (more…)
