It is narrated on the authority of Aws bin Aws [may
Allaah be Pleased with him] that the Prophet [Peace and Blessings of Allaah be
upon him] said:
“Increase in sending peace and blessings of Allaah
upon me on the Day of Jumu’ah, because these salutations reach me on Friday.
And the closest to me on the Day of Judgment are those who send Peace and
Blessings upon me the most.”
Reported by Aboo Dawood (1047), an-Nasaa’ee (1085),
Ahmad (4/8) and others.
Ibn Hibbaan also reported this Hadeeth (2/190) and
stated, “In this Hadeeth there is proof that the closest to the Prophet on the
Day of Judgement are the People of Hadeeth because there isn’t a people who send
Peace and Blessings of Allaah upon him more than them.”
This narration is classed as Hasan by many of the
scholars including Shaykh Rabee’ bin Haadee in his editing of al-Qaa’idah
al-Jaliyyah of Ibn Taymiyyah (Pg. 143-144).
Allah knows best. Always make sure that you never intentionally lie about the beloved Messenger Muhammad sallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam :) I believe that among other ways to be close to him (sallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) are: having excellent Islamic manners, sticking to his Sunnah as much as possible like praying Sunnah Duha and Tahajjud/Qiyam Al-Layl and taking care of widows and orphans. Allah knows best. may Allah the Most Merciful make us among His righteous friends whom He will welcome in Firdaus/Heaven. Ameen. Wasalaam from the Philippines~ JustSharingIslam.blogspot.com
