The questioner:
This questioner says: I hope the Shaykh will address the noble verse in the saying of the Truth, Blessed and Exalted is He: I seek refuge in Allah from Satan the accursed.[Al-Ahzab 33:56].
The Shaykh:
[Al-Fatihah 1:1-2], and may prayers and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, informed us in this verse: [Al-Ahzab 33:56]. This means Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). Then He commanded His believing servants, saying: [Al-Ahzab 33:56]. This is among his rights (peace and blessings be upon him) over us.
The presenter:
Correct.
The Shaykh:
It is obligatory for us to send blessings and peace upon him when he is mentioned. We send blessings and peace upon him in our prayer, in our final tashahhud. It is obligatory for us to send blessings and peace upon him in the sermons and lectures, at their beginning, after the two testimonies, after the praise of Allah and the two testimonies, we send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). And.
This is obligatory for us and is his right (peace and blessings be upon him) over us. The blessing from Allah is His praise of His servant in the highest assembly. The blessing from the angels is seeking forgiveness. The blessing from the humans is supplication for him (peace and blessings be upon him), as stated in the evidence.
We ask Allah for him the wasilah (the highest rank in Paradise) and the fadilah (excellence). The wasilah is a palace in Paradise.Musannaf Abd al-Razzaq 12:973. He said (peace and blessings be upon him): . So we pray for him for the wasilah, the fadilah, and the al-maqam al-mahmud (the praiseworthy station), which is his great intercession (peace and blessings be upon him) for the common people, for the children of Adam in the gathering place. When they stand on their feet in the gathering place for fifty thousand years, and they are standing on their feet, they say: Seek for us one who will intercede with our Lord to relieve us from this gathering place and this standing, and to turn us from this gathering place to the Reckoning.
So they are presented to the Prophets (peace and blessings be upon them all). They begin with Adam, then those after him. And each one excuses himself, until they reach Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and they ask him for intercession for the servants that Allah may relieve them from the gathering place and turn them to the Reckoning. He says (peace and blessings be upon him): Then he comes and falls prostrate before his Lord, and praise is opened to him, and then it is said to him: O Muhammad, Musnad Ahmad 15Hasan (Darussalam) So he intercedes (peace and blessings be upon him) for the people of the gathering place so that Allah may relieve them from the long standing and turn them to the Reckoning. Yes.
