Imaam Ibn al-Qayyim [may Allaah have Mercy on him] said in his book Jalaa al-Afhaam in the Chapter: The Benefits and Virtues Gained by Sending Peace and Blessings of Allaah upon the Prophet:
37 – Sending Peace and Blessings upon the Prophet is a means in which ones feet will be made firm on the Siraat (a bridge that everyone must cross – it lies over the Hell-fire, it is thinner than a hair and sharper than a sword) and will help him cross it with ease. This is based on the Hadeeth of ‘Abdur-Rahmaan bin Samarah [may Allaah be Pleased with him] in which the Prophet [Peace and Blessings of Allaah be upon him] said, “I saw in my dream a man from my Ummah who was lagging across the Siraat. He was crawling across it and would frequently pause (and then carrying crawling). Then his good deeds of sending Peace and Blessings of Allaah upon me came to him, and it helped him stand upright on his feet and he crossed the Siraat safely.” [1]
[Jalaa’ al-Afhaam Fee Fadl as-Salaat wa as-Salaam ‘ala Muhammad Khayr al-Anaam (Pg. 515 - 527)]
[1] [Reported by Ibn ‘Asaakir in Taareekh Dimishq (9/967), at-Tabaraanee in al-Majma’ (7/180), and others. Ibn al-Qayyim said about this Hadeeth, “I heard Shaykh al-Islaam (Ibn Taymiyyah) extol this Hadeeth and the beliefs of Ahl as-Sunnah conform with it; the Hadeeth is Hasan (Waabil as-Sayyib, Pg. 114)]. Imaam al-Qurtubee said (indicating on its authenticity), "This is an extremely virtuous Hadeeth - a special deed which helps a person in a particular situation." [at-Tadhkirah (Pg. 293)]
