Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The sister H. M. S. from Makkah al-Mukarramah says in her question: There are people around me who repeat phrases for sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) whose correctness I do not know, and they are: “O Allah, send complete blessings and perfect peace upon our master Muhammad, through whom knots are untied, through whom distresses are relieved, through whom needs are fulfilled, through whom desires are attained and good endings are achieved, and through whose noble face the clouds are made to rain, and upon his family and his companions in every glance and breath, after every knowledge You have.” Knowing that they repeat them a specific number of times, which may reach 1000 times, please issue a ruling for us, may you be rewarded.
Answer:
This wording is not prescribed, and it contains exaggeration and contradiction of the pure Shari'ah. What is prescribed for the Muslim is to send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with the prayer that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taught his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) : which is:Sahih al-Bukhari 3370.
This description is the most complete of the descriptions reported from him (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding sending blessings upon him. And if the Muslim sends blessings upon him (peace and blessings be upon him) with any of the descriptions established from him (peace and blessings be upon him), that suffices. And success is from Allah.
