Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, O honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: What is the ruling on repeating the invocation of blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the supplication of the witr prayer?
Answer:
Well... When the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him, "I will make half of my prayer for you," until he said, "I will make all of my prayer for you," he meant: the supplication. The intended meaning is the supplication, not the prayer involving bowing and prostration. No, it is the supplication, because the supplication is called a prayer. And "send blessings upon them"—what does that mean? Pray for them.
