It was narrated that 'Amr bin Sulam Az-Zuraqi said: "Abu Humaid As-Sa'idi told me that they said: 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, how should we send salah upon you?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Say: Allahumma sali 'ala Muhammadin wa azwajihi wa dhuriyatihi ( O Allah, send salah upon Muhamad and his wives and progeny)- in the narration of Al-Harith (one of the two who narrated it)-kama salaita 'ala Ibrahim wa barik 'alaMuhammad wa azwajihi wa dhuriyatti (as You sent salah upon Irahim and send blessings upon Muhammad and his wives and progeny)- both of them said that- kama barakta 'ala ali Ibrahima innaka hamidun majid (as You sent blessings upon Ibrahim, You are indeed worthy of praise, Full of glory)" Abu Abdur-Rahman (An-Nasa'i) said: Qutaibah informed us of this hadith two times, and perhaps he had missed a part of it.
This hadith teaches us the importance of sending prayers for our beloved prophet as well as for his wives and progeny. It also reminds us that we should always be grateful for all the blessings we receive from Allah SWT just like He blessed Ibrahim AS before us. We should always remember our beloved prophet in our prayers so we can benefit from His mercy in this world and hereafter Insha’Allah!
