Hadith of the Week: Salutations Upon the Prophet

The Messenger of God, peace and mercy of God be upon him, said,

“The people with the most right to me on the Day of Resurrection are those who invoke the most salutations [salawat] upon me.”

[Tirmidhi]

—

The Messenger of God, peace and mercy of God be upon him, said,

“Indeed the best of your days is Friday, so invoke many salutations [salawat] upon me in it, because your salutations are shown to me.”

Some then asked, “O Messenger of God! How will our salutations be shown to you after you have passed?”

He said, “God, the Mighty and Majestic, has forbidden the earth (to eat) the bodies of the prophets.”

[Abu Dawud]
