Question:
Who says in the prayer, saying: O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad, the medicine of the hearts and their cure?
Answer:
This statement is not correct; it is general. "The medicine of the hearts and their cure" is general.
The medicine of the hearts is by following the Shari'ah, and their cure is by following the Shari'ah. But this gives the impression that he is the medicine in himself, and that he is the cure in himself, and that he benefits and harms. This is not appropriate. This statement gives the impression. "O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad" is sufficient, "as You sent blessings upon Ibrahim and upon the family of Ibrahim." O Allah, send blessings upon the unlettered Prophet; there is no contradiction.
