The ruling on sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when his name is mentioned

Question : He says: What is the ruling on sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when he is mentioned and heard? Is it obligatory or recommended?

Answer : Yes, sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when he is mentioned is undoubtedly prescribed, and whoever does not send blessings upon him when he is mentioned is in great danger. The scholars have differed on this issue; some said that it is obligatory for a person to send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) when he is mentioned in his presence, while others said that it is recommended. Those who said it is obligatory cited the hadith of Abu Hurayrah and others that Jibril came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "May the nose of the man who is mentioned in his presence and does not send blessings upon you be crushed. O Allah, send blessings and peace upon him. May the nose of the man who is mentioned in his presence and does not send blessings upon you be crushed." They said that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and Jibril do not curse a person by having his nose crushed except for abandoning an obligation. We say that the opinion of obligation is closer to the truth than the opinion of recommendation, so do not miss sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when he is mentioned. And if you send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) once, what is the reward for that?
That Allah sends blessings upon you ten times. So Allah’s sending blessings upon you ten times is greater than your sending blessings upon the Messenger once, because the blessing from Allah and His sending of blessings was upon the Messenger from whom? From you, and the reward is ten times while the action is once. The more you send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the better it is, especially on Friday, for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded to increase sending blessings upon him on Friday. And I ask a light question on the ear: Do you increase sending blessings upon the Prophet on Friday? By Allah, I do not hear except one person saying "if Allah wills" and another saying "if Allah wills, it will be for the future, not the past." No, this is the most truthful answer, except for whom Allah has mercy. But be careful, my brother, that the right of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is greater than the right of parents, and if you fulfill his right, it is for yourself, for your benefit. Send blessings upon him (peace and blessings be upon him) whenever his name is mentioned, send blessings upon him a lot, increase sending blessings upon him on Friday.
