“Bismillahir Rahmannir Raheem”Al-Hamdu Lillaahi Rabbil ‘Aalameen was Salaatu was- Salaamu ‘Alaa Sayidinaa Muhammadin wa Aalihi wa Asabihi Ajma ‘een (tauheed- risalat- ahkirat and islam-iman-ihsan)

Different traditions reveal that the Prophet ﷺ  himself directly listens to those who invoke blessings on him irrespective of their nearness and remoteness. As Ab・Dard・’ narrated Allah’s Messenger ﷺ  said: Invoke blessings on me abundantly on Friday. Verily it is an attended day and the angels attend.Whoever invokes blessings on me, his voice reaches me regardless of the distance. We asked, even after your demise?・The Prophet ﷺ  replied, ・Yes), even after my demise because Allah made unlawful for the earth to eat up the bodies of the Prophets.・Yusuf bin Ism・Nabhani・ Hujjatull i ‘alal-‘ am, p.713.This had h reveals the vastness of the Prophet’s sense of hearing. At another occasion, the Prophet ﷺ  was asked about those who invoke blessings on him from far and wide. The Prophet ﷺ  replied: I listen to the blessings of my lovers and know them.- Muhammad Mahd・ Mati‘-ul-masarr, p.81.

It is revealed that the Prophet ﷺ  knows his lovers and listens to them. Once he said to his companions about Hadrat isa (AS) that he will return to this world. Then Hadrat isa (AS) will visit Madinah and the Prophet ﷺ  said: And when he (‘Isa・ will stand beside my grave calling:ya Muhammad!・I will respond to him. Ibn Hajar ‘Asqalni・ al-Matib-ul-‘riyah, (4: 23 # 3853).

The Prophet ﷺ  Answers the Greetings

It is absolutely clear that the Noble Prophet ﷺ  also answers the one who invokes blessings on him. Which other reward could be worthier than this for a faithful? Obviously greetings answered by the beloved Prophet of Allah, in itself, it is the greatest and worthiest reward for a Muslim. As the Noble Prophet ﷺ  said: There is no Muslim who invokes blessings upon me (salutes me), but Allah returns to me my soul till I respond to him in return- AbuDawud, Sunan, b. of manasik (rituals of hajj), (2: 218 # 2041); Ahmad bin Hambal, Musnad, 2:527.

AbuHurayrah (RTA) reported the Prophet ﷺ  said: There is no Muslim in the east and the west who salutes me, but I and the angels of my Lord answer him. AbuNu‘aym Asbah・ Hilyat-ul-awliy・’ wa tabaq -ul-asfiy・’, 6: 349.

Taqiyy-ud-Din Subki says about the mentioned traditions in the following words:The aforesaid sayings of the Prophet ﷺ  substantiate that the Prophet’s soul has been returned to him. Certainly he listens to the salutations and responds in return. Taqiyy-ud-Din Subki‘Al・ Shifa’-us-siqa m・ziyart khayr-ilan p.133.

My life is a great good for you and my death is (also) a great good for you. Kanz-ul-‘ummal, (11: 407 # 31904).

My life is a great good for you in whom you talk (to me) and we talk to you, and my demise is also a great good for you (because) your deeds will be presented to me. If they are good, I will praise Allah, and if they are bad, I will ask Allah’s forgiveness for you. Narrated by Ibn Hajar ‘Asqalni・ through H ith in his al-Matibul-‘ riyah, (4: 22-3 # 3853).

Bakr bin ‘Abdulla(RTA) also reported that the Holy Prophet ﷺ  said: My life is a great good for you in whom you talk (to me) and you are responded. And when I will die my demise will be a great good for you. Your deeds will be presented to me, if I see goodness, I will praise Allah, and if I see wrongs, I will ask Allah’s forgiveness for you- Ibn Sa‘d, at-Tabaq-ul-kubr・(2: 194); ‘Al・bin Ab・Bakr Haytham・related in Majma‘-uz-zaw・’id (9:24) and its men are those of sahih (sound) hadith.

At another place, Anas bin Malik (RTA) narrates that the Prophet ﷺ  said: my life is a great good for you・ and he (the Prophet) said it three times.my demise is a great good for you・ and he (the Prophet) said it three times. Then the people kept silent and ‘Umar bin Khattab asked, may my parents be sacrificed for you! How would it be?・He (the Prophet) said,my life is a great good for you because I get Heavenly revelation and inform you what is allowed and what is disallowed for you. And my demise is good for you because your deeds are presented to me every Thursday. If they are good, I say, praise be to Allah.・If they are bad, I seek forgiveness for you-Yusuf bin  Nabahni・ Hujjatull ‘alal-lam, p.713.

Other sayings of the Holy Prophet ﷺ  include: Invoke blessings on me abundantly every Friday, because blessings of my Ummah are presented to me every Friday. And the nearest one to me in rank is one who invokes the greatest number of blessings upon me- Ahmad bin Husayn Bayhaqi as-Sunan-ul-kubr・ 3: 249.

Invoke blessings on me on the day and night of Jum‘ah (i.e. Friday), because one who invokes blessing upon me once, Allah will shower ten blessings upon him- Ahmad bin Husayn Bayhaqi as-Sunan-ul-kubr・ 3: 249.

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ  stated:The best people are those living in my generation, then those who will follow them, and then those who will follow the latter- Bukhârî transmitted it in his as-Sahîh, b. of shahâdât (witnesses) ch.9 (3:498#820);

When I want to talk to Allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)
