No matter how lazy satan makes you feel, read this booklet completely. You will tremble with Divine fear, اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ.
An elderly pious man dreamt of a person after his death and asked, ‘مَا فَعَلَ اللّٰهُ بِكَ How has Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ treated you?’ He said, ‘Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has forgiven me.’ The pious man asked, ‘What reason for?’ He replied, ‘I used to write Ḥadīš in the company of a Muḥaddiš. Once, he recited Ṣalāt upon the Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. I [also] recited Ṣalāt-‘Alan-Nabī loudly. When other attendees heard it, they too recited Ṣalāt-‘Alan-Nabī. Therefore, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ forgave all of us by its blessings.’ (Al-Qaul-ul-Badī’, pp. 254)
صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
