The questioner:
May Allah make your knowledge beneficial, O Shaykh. I have three questions. May Allah preserve you.

And is it true, as we hear, that repeating it a thousand or two thousand times a day becomes a cause for relieving distress, bringing good, happiness, and sustenance in this world?
The presenter:
Okay, the second question, O Muhammad.
The questioner:
The second question: Is it permissible to frequently send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), specifically during crises, with the intention of relieving distress and facilitating matters?
The presenter:
Okay, excellent.
The questioner:
The third question: Does a person benefit from repeating the saying of Allah the Exalted[Ibrahim 14:15] when entering upon a person with whom he has a need? If I have a need with someone and I go to him, and I repeat this verse, does it benefit me in fulfilling this need?
The presenter:
Thank you, thank you.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good.
