Hadith 53

(The book) ‘Ma’any Al Akhbar’ – Ibn Masrour, from Ibn Aamir, from Al Mualla, from Muhammad Bin Jamhour, from Ahmad Bin Hafs Al Bazzaz, from his father, from Ibn Abu Hamza, from his father who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws about Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: Surely, Allah and His Angels are Sending Salawaat upon the Prophet. O you those who believe! Send Salawaat upon him and submit submissively [33: 56]. He-asws said: ‘The Salawaat from Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic is Mercy, and from the Angels is a purification, and from the people is a supplication, and as for Words of Mighty and Majestic: and submit submissively [33: 56], it means submitting from him-saww regarding whatever is referred from him-saww’. He (the narrator) said, ‘I said to him-asws, ‘How should we send Salawaat upon Muhammad‑saww and his-saww Progeny-asws? ’
He-asws said: ‘You should say, ‘May the Salawaat of Allah-azwj and Salawaat of His-azwj Angels, and His-azwj Prophets-as, and His-azwj Messengers-as, and entirety of His-azwj creatures be upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and the greeting be upon him-saww and upon them-asws, and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings’’. He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘What is the Reward of the one who sends Salawaat upon the Prophet-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws, with this Salawaat? ’
He-asws said: ‘The exit from the sins, by Allah-azwj, to be like he was on the day his mother gave birth to him! ’’[67]
