Forty Benefits in Supplicating for Your Prophet ﷺ (Part 1)

Ibn al-Qayyim [may Allaah have Mercy on him] writes over forty benefits in supplicating by sending the Peace and Blessings of Allaah upon the Prophet:

1 - It is acting upon the Command of Allaah (cf. 33:56).

2 - Allaah, the Most High, Himself Sends His Peace and Blessings upon him, exemplifying great praise that Allaah has for him.

3 - The angels supplicate for the Peace and Blessings of Allaah to be upon the Prophet also, so by supplicating for him we are supplicating along side the angels.

4 - For every supplication of Peace and Blessings of Allaah, Allaah Sends Peace and Blessings from Himself upon the one who supplicates by tenfold.

5 - For each supplication, he is raised by ten ranks.

6 - For each supplication, ten rewards are written for him.

7 - For each supplication, ten sins are forgiven.

8 - When a person makes Dua’a to Allaah, but begins his supplication by sending the Peace and Blessings of Allaah upon the Prophet and ends his Dua’a with it, then this action carries his Dua’a up to Allaah, the Lord of all creation. Thus it is a means for ones Dua’a to be accepted.

9 - Increasing in sending the Peace and Blessings of Allaah upon him is a cause for one to receive the Prophets intercession on the Day of Judgment.

10 - Increasing in sending the Peace and Blessings of Allaah upon the Prophet is a means in which ones sins are forgiven.

To be completed.
