The merit of blessing the Prophet
The merit of blessing the Prophet: 5 supplications in Arabic with English translation and sources, from the Fortress of the Muslim (Hisn al-Muslim).
فضل الصلاة على النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم
قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم: مَنْ صَلَّى عَلَيَّ صَلاَةً صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ بِهَا عَشْراً.
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Whoever sends one prayer upon me, Allah sends ten prayers upon him.”
وَقَالَ صلى الله عليه وسلم: لاَ تَجْعَلُوا قَبْرِي عِيداً وَصَلُّوا عَلَيَّ؛ فَإِنَّ صَلاَتَكُم تَبْلُغُنِي حَيْثُ كُنْتُمْ.
He also said: “Do not make my grave a place of festivity, but send prayers upon me: your prayers reach me wherever you are.”
وَقَالَ صلى الله عليه وسلم: الْبَخِيلُ مَنْ ذُكِرْتُ عِنْدَهُ فَلَمْ يُصَلِّ عَلَيَّ.
He also said: “The miser is the one in whose presence I am mentioned and who does not send prayers upon me.”
وَقَالَ صلى الله عليه وسلم: إِنَّ لِلَّهِ مَلاَئِكَةً سَيَّاحِينَ فِي الْأَرْضِ يُبَلِّغُونِي مِنْ أُمَّتِي السَّلاَمَ.
He also said: “Allah has angels who roam the earth and convey to me the greeting of peace from my community.”
وَقَالَ صلى الله عليه وسلم: مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيَّ إِلاَّ رَدَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيَّ رُوحِيَ حَتَّى أَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمَ.
He also said: “No one greets me but Allah returns my soul to me so that I may return his greeting.”
