But when the Messenger is neither obeyed nor followed, permanent torment and misery will ensue.*

▪️ *The legitimacy of supplicating Allah to exalt the Messenger's mention and render him safe from evils.*
➖➖➖

It is the right of the Messenger of Allah upon his Ummah to supplicate Allah to exalt his mention, and render him safe from evil as Allah, the Exalted, says: *"Allah and His angels praise the Prophet. O you who believe! pray Allah to praise him, and exalt his mention, and render him safe from evil."*(33:56).

The meaning of the Salaat of Allah for him is Allah praising him in the angelic sphere, and the Salat of the angels for him means the angels supplicating Allah to praise him, while the Salat of the humans is the request for forgiveness. Allah, the Exalted, announces in the above Ayat the rank and the status of his slave and Prophet, in His supreme sphere, by praising him in the presence of the angels who are in His proximity. The angels too supplicate Allah to praise him, then Allah, the Exalted, commands the habitant of the lower world (this world) to supplicate Allah to praise him and render him safe from evil.

Thus, to combine the praise for the Prophet from both, the habitants of the upper and the lower worlds. The meaning of (Sallimu Taslima) greets him with the greeting of Islam, (Assalamu alaikum warahmatallahi) that is, when one concludes his Salat by reciting as Salat al Ibrahimiyah, he combines between the Salat and the Taslim, rather than to be satisfied with one only. That is, you should not say Sallalahu alihi only or alihi as salam only, rather combine both, as Salat and as-Salam. Supplicating Allah for the Prophet is legitimate on many occasions; either a must in some or emphasized in another.

He also mentioned among those occasions that such supplication to be added at the end of the Qanoot, in the Khutba of Jumuah, the two Eed prayers, Istisqaa (A prayer for rain) and upon responding to the Adhan and at the end of any supplication, upon entering and exiting the Masjid, and upon mentioning his name; Sallalahu alaihi wa sallam.
