Salutations of Light: Forty Hadiths on Invoking Allah’s Blessings upon the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ

Allah ﷻ announced His own act and the act of His Angels before He turned to the bellevers with the command: 'O believers! Invoke Allah's blessings upon him, and salute him with worthy greetings of peace! The forty Hadiths in this volume describe what follows when a servant obeys. One invocation returns tenfold. An Angel appointed over the matter carries it into the grave of the Prophet ﷺ as gifts are carried to the living, and names the one who sent it. Roaming Angels convey the salutations of the Ummah wherever they are uttered. The invocations of Friday and of the night preceding it bring a hundred needs fulfilled, seventy of them concerning the Hereafter. Those closest to him on the Day of Resurrection, in every station, are those who invoked blessings upon him most in this world. Every narration is referenced, the Arabic vocalised, and the English rendered in clear and readable prose.
