Tafseer: Allah sends His Salat on the Prophet

"Allah sends His Salat (Graces, Honours, Blessings, Mercy, etc.) on the Prophet (Muhammad ) and also His angels too (ask Allah to bless and forgive him). O you who believe! Send your Salat on (ask Allah to bless) him (Muhammad ), and (you should) greet (salute) him with the Islamic way of greeting (salutation i.e. As-Salamu 'Alaikum)." [al-Ahzaab 33:56]

Imaam 'Abdur-Rahman as-Sa'dee [may Allaah have Mercy on him] wrote in explanation:

Allaah Sending His Salaat means that He Praises the Prophet in front of the Angels, in the Highest Assembly of them. This shows His Love, the Most High, for His Prophet to the extent that He Praises the Prophet in front of his closest of Angels. 

[Tafseer as-Si'dee (Pg. 671)]
