SHARING IS CARING
Praise be to Allah.
Sending blessings on the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is one of the greatest acts of worship. Allah has enjoined it and praised those who do it, and He has made it a cause of forgiveness of sins and meeting one's needs.
Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"Allah sends His Salah (Graces, Honours, Blessings, Mercy) on the Prophet (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم), and also His angels (ask Allah to bless and forgive him). O you who believe! end your Salah on (ask Allah to bless) him (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم), and (you should) greet (salute) him with the Islamic way of greeting (salutation, i.e. As‑Salaamu 'Alaykum)"
[al-Ahzaab 33:56]
And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "whoever sends blessings upon me, Allah will send blessings upon him tenfold." Narrated by Muslim (384).
It was narrated that Ubayy ibn Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When two-thirds of the night had passed, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would say: "O people, remember Allah, remember Allah. The first Trumpet is about to sound, and will soon be followed by the second; death has come with all that it entails, death has come with all that it entails." Ubayy said: I said: O Messenger of Allah, I send blessings upon you a great deal; how much of my prayer (du'aa') should be for you? He said: "Whatever you wish."
I said: One quarter? He said: "Whatever you wish, and if you do more it is better for you."
I said: Half? He said: "Whatever you wish, and if you do more it is better for you."
I said: Two thirds? He said: "Whatever you wish, and if you do more it is better for you."
I said: Should I make all my du'aa' for you? He said: "Then your concerns will be taken care of and your sins will be forgiven." Narrated by al-Tirmidhi (2457);
One of the commentators on al-Masaabeeh said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) did not impose a set limit on that for him, lest that close the door to doing more. So he still left the choice up to him, whilst encouraging him to do more, until he said: Should I make all my du'aa' for you? He said: "Then your concerns will be taken care of", meaning all your concerns, whether they have to do with religious or worldly affairs, because sending blessings on him includes remembering Allah and venerating the Messenger, (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), which is similar to saying du'aa' for himself. Quoted by al-Sakhaawi in al-Qawl al-Badee' (133).
Al-Tirmidhi (484) narrated from 'Abd-Allah ibn Mas'ood that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "The closest of people to me on the Day of Resurrection will be those who send the most blessings on me."
No one doubts the virtue of sending blessings on the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).
The saying that "the more you send blessings on him the more you love the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and the closer you become to him" is correct, for the more one mentions a thing the more he loves it.
If sending blessings on the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is a prescribed act of worship, as stated above, then it is not permissible to stipulate a set number of times for it, because no such number has been narrated in Shariah, whether it is one thousand or one million or whatever number. Stipulating such numbers is blameworthy innovation because it is adding something to Islam that is not part of it. The scholars have stated that acts of worship must be prescribed in Shariah in terms of their principle, description, number, manner, place and time, in the sense that it is not permissible to limit it to a place, time or manner that is not narrated in Shariah.
Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Whoever introduces an innovation into Islam and thinks it is good is claiming that Muhammad betrayed the message.
It should be said to those who stipulate sending blessings 10 million times: What made you choose this number, and what is so special about it? Whatever good he mentions about it may be answered by saying: Did the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) fail to guide his ummah to this goodness, when he was the one who cared most for them and was the most compassionate towards them? Why did he not tell Ubayy ibn Ka'b – as in the hadis quoted above – about this particular number?
In fact when choosing these numbers, many of the Sufis rely on dreams or mere myths, and they tell their murid (followers) that they are not fit to do more than that, and that doing more depends on the permission of the Shaykh who knows what he is doing and even knows his secrets, and other kinds of falsehood by means of which they control their followers.
ALLAH KNOWS BEST!
