The Holy prophet (S.

The Holy prophet (S.A.W.S.) says that, if anyone writes my name in a book and sends salawat on me, the Angels will seek forgiveness for him till my name remains in that book. Shaikh Kulaini narrates from Imam Jafar-as-sadiq (A.S.) that he said that whenever you talk about the Holy prophet (S.A.W.S.), send salawat on Him. When a person sends salawat once on Him, Allah orders s thousand ranks of His Angels to send a thousand salawat on the person himself.

And because of Allah and His Angels sending salawat, the whole ceration sends salawat on him. And the person who does not do so, is an arrogant and ignorant person. And Allah, His prophet, and the Holy Ahlulbait (A.S.) leaves such aperson to himself.

The narrator continues, that I then asked Imam (A.S.) as to what was the reward for this Salawat? Imam (A.S.) replied, “A person reciting this Salawat becomes clean from the sins as if he was just born from his mother’s womb”. Shaikh Abul Futuh Razi narrates from the Hloy prophet (S.A.W.S.) that He said, “on the night of me raj when I ascended to the heavens, I saw an Angel who had a thousand hands. On sach of his hands there were a thousand fingers, and he was counting some thing on them.

I asked Jipaeel as to who that Angel was, and what was he come thing? Jipaeel replied that the Angel had been appointed by Allah to count the drops of rain, so that it may be known as to how many drops have fallen down to the earth. I turned towards the Angel and asked him, “Do you know the total amount of the rain-drops which have fallen down on the earth from the day Allah created this world till now”?

To which he replied, “o prophet of Allah I swear by my Lord who has chosen You (as a blessing) for mankind, verily I know the total amount of rain-drops fallen on the earth till now.
