28. Sayyid Ahmad Dahlan, the Shafi’i Mufti of Makka, wrote in his collection of salawat the following: “and among the forms of salawat that is tried and tested for meeting the Prophet (alayhi salat wa salam) is the following: “Allahumma Salli wa Sallim ‘ala Sayyidina Muhammadin al Jaami’i li Asraarika wad-Daalli ‘alayk, wa ‘ala Aalihi wa Sahbihi wa Sallim”…every day 1000 times each.



29. Sayyid Ahmad Dahlan also mentioned in that same book the following: Among the greatest and most beneficial forms that the gnostics mentioned was beneficial for recitation – even if only one time – on the night preceding Friday, and that whoever was constant in that, then the form of the Prophet (saw) would appear before his spirit when he dies and when he enters the grave, until he sees that the Prophet (saw) himself is the one who is placing him in the grave; and the gnostics said that whoever takes up this salawat should read it every day 10 times, and on the night before Friday 100 times, so that he can attain this great favor and immense blessing in sha’allah. And that specific form is: “Allahumma Salli ala Sayyidina Muhammadin an Nabiyy al Ummiyy al Habeeb, al ‘Aali-l Qadr al ‘Adheem al-Jaah, wa ‘ala Aalihi wa Sahbihi wa Sallim”. This was also related by Shaykh Ahmad as-Sawi and Imam Suyuti.

As mentioned by Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani (q) and many other awliyaullah, from the Sharh Salawat ad-Dardir al-`allamah as-Saawi, reciting this salawat will eliminate claustrophobia and bring ease to you in the grave. It will also remove the fear of the interrogating angels, Munkar and Nakir. It is mentioned that whoever recites this salawat once every Friday, upon his death Prophet (s) will go with him to his burial and bury him with his own blessed hands!

Numerous awliyaullah have said, "Whoever recites it even once on Friday or from Thursday evening onward, Allah (swt) will allow his soul to see the Exemplar of All Souls (s)," not only when his soul is leaving the body, but also when he is taken to the grave, until he sees the Prophet (s) is the one taking care of him in that grave.

Awliyaullah say to be consistent in reading as-Salaat al-`Aali al-Qadr ten times daily and once on the night of Jumu`ah will bring you khayr al-jaseem, the uncountable good that comes from it. Also, the book Fath ar-Rasool states that who reads it ten times after `Isha will be rewarded as if they recited it all night.

Allahumma salli `alaa Sayyidina Muhammad an-Nabiyyi 'l-Umiyy al-Habeebi 'l-`aliyya 'l-qadri 'l-`azheemi 'l-jaahi wa `alaa aalihi wa sahbihi wa sallim.

O Allah exalt and greet and bless our master Muhammad the Unlettered Prophet, the Beloved of Highest Value, Possessing Immense Status and on his family and companions and send them peace.
