You will love them and appreciate what they have done forever. How about the one who introduced us to Allah?
Speaker A
Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, he is the one who told us about Allah Azza wa Jall, so we make salat upon him as much as we can.
Speaker A
Every single day, every single salat, we cannot finish it without saying salat on Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
Speaker A
So the Hadith is in Bukhari, in Muslim, in many books of Hadith, the Sahabah came to Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and they said, Ya Rasulullah, you taught us how to say salam to you.
Speaker A
How do we make salat upon you? Because Allah Azza wa Jall said, So Ya Rasulullah, you told us in the we took last time, you taught us how to say salam.
Speaker A
How do we say salat? He said, say, Allahumma salli ala Muhammad wa ala ali Muhammad kama sallaita ala Ibrahim wa ala ali Ibrahim innaka Hamidum Majid.
Speaker A
Allahumma barik ala Muhammad wa ala ali Muhammad kama barakta ala Ibrahim wa ala ali Ibrahim innaka Hamidum Majid.
Speaker A
This is one narration.
Speaker A
Many of us know only one narration, but there are other narrations which are all authentic.
Speaker A
And there's slight difference, Allahumma salli ala Muhammad wa ala ali Muhammad kama sallaita ala ali Ibrahim.
