Significance
[
edit
]
In
Islam
, when a Muslim or
Islamic angels
(
mal?'ikah
) recite
salawat
, it means they are sending it to the prophet and are showing Allah their respect for Muhammad, while when the same is sending upon prophet by Allah himself, it means he is blessed by Allah.
[1]
"When Muhammad sends
Salawat
upon the believers, it indicates his prayer for their welfare, blessing and salvation."
[7]
Muhammad was also reported saying: "The meanest person is he who does not invoke
Salawat
upon me when my name is mentioned in his presence."
[8]
[9]
Ibn Asakri transmitted from
al-Hasan bin Ali
that Muhammad said: "Invoke more
Salawat
upon me, for your invocation is conducive to your sins being forgiven. And pray for me a high status and intercession, for surely my intercession will plead in your favour before Allah."
[6]
According to
Ja'far al-Sadiq
, Muhammad said: "All supplications to Allah will remain in a veil from the sky until a
Salawat
is sent to Mohammad PBUH and his Household."
[10]
In another tradition, Ja'far al-Sadiq was quoted that: "Whoever sends
Salawat
on the Prophet PBH and his Household means 'I am standing on the promise that I gave when Allah asked me, 'Am I not your lord? And I answered yes you are.'"

Muhammad was also reported to have said: "Do not invoke incomplete
salawat
upon me". His
sahabah
asked him: "What is incomplete
salawat
?" He replied them: "When you say: 'O Allah, send blessing to Muhammad' and then stop on that. Rather say:
??????????? ????? ?????? ????????? ???????? ??? ?????????
'O Allah! send Your blessing to Muhammad and the progeny of Muhammad."
