In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Virtues of Sending Blessings upon the Prophet ﷺ (In the Light of Hadith)

Anas رضي الله عنه reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
“Whoever sends blessings upon me once, Allah sends blessings upon him ten times, forgives ten sins, and raises him ten درجات.”
(Sunan al-Nasa’i)

Ibn Mas‘ud رضي الله عنه reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
“The person closest to me on the Day of Resurrection will be the one who sent the most blessings upon me.”
(Jami‘ al-Tirmidhi)

Ibn Mas‘ud رضي الله عنه reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
“Indeed, the angels of Allah travel throughout the earth conveying to me the salutations of my Ummah.”
(Sunan al-Nasa’i)

Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
“Do not turn your homes into graves, and do not make my grave a place of festivity. Send blessings upon me, for your blessings reach me wherever you may be.”
(Sunan al-Nasa’i)

Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
“May his nose be humbled in dust before whom I am mentioned and he does not send blessings upon me; and may his nose be humbled who witnesses Ramadan and is not forgiven; and may his nose be humbled who finds his parents, one or both, in old age and does not enter Paradise by serving them.”
(Jami‘ al-Tirmidhi)

Ubayy ibn Ka‘b رضي الله عنه reported: I said, “O Messenger of Allah, I send many blessings upon you; how much of my time should I devote to it?” He replied, “As much as you wish.” I said, “A quarter?” He said, “As you wish, and if you increase, it is better for you.” I said, “Half?” He said, “As you wish, and if you increase, it is better for you.” I said, “Two-thirds?” He said, “As you wish, and if you increase, it is better for you.” I said, “Shall I devote all of my supplication to sending blessings upon you?” He said:
“Then your worries will be removed and your sins will be forgiven.”
(Jami‘ al-Tirmidhi)

Reminder

Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه and Ka‘b ibn ‘Ujrah رضي الله عنه reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
Whoever recites these glorifications after prayer will never be deprived, and his sins will be forgiven even if they are like the foam of the sea:

• Subhan Allah — 33 times

• Alhamdulillah — 33 times

• Allahu Akbar — 33 or 34 times

• La ilaha illa Allah wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul mulku wa lahul hamd wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in qadir — once

Translation:
“There is no deity except Allah alone; He has no partner. To Him belongs the dominion and all praise, and He has power over all things.”
(Sahih Muslim)
