The blessings of sending blessings on our beloved, peace and blessings upon him

Allah, Mighty and Sublime is He, said:"Verily, Allah and His angels bless the Prophet. O you who believe, ask (Allah) to bless him and grant him abundant peace".

And it is related that the Messenger of Allah, Allah's blessings and peace be upon him, came one day with signs of good tidings visible upon his face. He said:"Lo, Gabriel, peace be upon him, said to me,"Are you not pleased, O Muhammad, that whenever one of your nation asks Allah to bless you, Allah will bless him tenfold and that whenever one of your nation asks Allah to grant you peace, Allah will grant peace tenfold."

And he said, Allah's blessings and peace be upon him:"The nearest person to me is the one who asks for blessings upon me the most".

And he said, Allah's blessings and peace be upon him:"Whoever asks for blessings upon me, angels are blessings him for long as he asks, be it for a short time, be it for a long time".

And he said, Allah's blessings and peace be upon him:"A person is considered a miser if, when I am mentioned in his presence, he fails to ask blessings upon me".

And he said, Allah's blessings and peace be upon him:"Whoever of my nation asks for blessings upon me once, ten good deeds are written down for him and ten sins are erased."

And he said, Allah's blessings and peace be upon him:"Whoever hears the call to Prayer and says, 'O Allah, Lord of this perfect call and this established prayer grant Muhammad the Closet Access, the Pre-Eminence, the Lofty Rank and send him to the Most Praised Station which You have promised him', my intercession for him will be binding on the Day of Resurrection."

And he said, Allah's blessings and peace be upon him: "Whoever asks for blessings upon me in a book, the angels bless him for as long as my name is in that book".

And Abu Suleiman Ad-Darani said:"Whoever wishes to request something from Allah, let him increase his asking for blessings upon the Prophet, Allah's blessings and peace be upon him, and then he may ask Allah about his affair and then seal his request by once more asking for blessings upon the Prophet, Allah's blessings and peace be upon him. For Allah will accept the two requests for blessings upon the Prophet and this is something more noble than whatever he asks for in between"

And he said, Allah's blessings and peace be upon him:"Whoever hears the call to Prayer and says, 'O Allah, Lord of this perfect call and this established prayer grant Muhammad the Closet Access, the Pre-Eminence, the Lofty Rank and send him to the Most Praised Station which You have promised him', my intercession for him will be binding on the Day of Resurrection."
