Excellence Of Salawat In light of 2 Hadith
Allahﷻ says in the Holy Quran:
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ وَمَلَـٰٓئِكَتَهُۥ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى ٱلنَّبِىِّ ۚ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ صَلُّوا۟ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا۟ تَسْلِيمًا
{Truly, Allah and His Angels send blessings upon the Prophet. O ye who believe send blessings and abundant salutations.}`{Al-Qur’ān 33:56} This verse gives us the beautiful virtue of sending blessings and salutations upon the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Allahﷻ announces that He and His Angels send salawāt/durūd sharīf. Allahﷻ then instructs for those who possess faith to also send salawāt in abundance. This beautiful aspect is that following this command aligns the heart and soul with Allahﷻ’s wish and that the invoker is raised to be amongst the Angels again.
{Truly, Allah and His Angels send blessings upon the Prophet. O ye who believe send blessings and abundant salutations.}`{Al-Qur’ān 33:56}
Thus, sending salawat became a preoccupation for the Muslim Community which is echoed in the many hadith regarding how the blessed Companions engaged with salawāt.The Muslims that followed continued on the same way with many pious men of Allahﷻ and scholars penning different salawāt formulations. The righteous often recited hundreds and thousands salawat everyday both in private and in public.
