Salutation of the Prophet ﷺ transmitted by Imam al-Sha’rani Benefits
Imam al-Sha‘rani said:
The Prophet ﷺ said: ‘Whoever recites this prayer will see me in their dream. Whoever sees me in their dream will see me on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever sees me on the Day of Resurrection will receive my intercession. Whoever receives my intercession will drink from my Pond (Hawd), and Allah will make their body forbidden to the Hellfire.’
I once tested this prayer by reciting it just before sleeping, and when I fell asleep, I saw the Prophet’s ﷺ sublime face upon the moon. I spoke to him until he disappeared within the moon. I ask Allah, the Most Tremendous, by the rank of the Prophet ﷺ, to grant me all the blessings he promised in this noble hadith to those who recite this prayer!
