🌹 MESSAGE OF LOVE
[- Part 2 of 2 -]
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

WHEN WORRY BECOMES HEAVY… SEND SALĀH UPON THE PROPHET ﷺ

Ubayy ibn Ka'b رضي الله عنه was one of the beloved Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.

He loved the Prophet ﷺ deeply.

One day, he asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ a remarkable question.

He said:

“O Messenger of Allah, I send a lot of salāh upon you. How much of my supplication should I devote to sending blessings upon you?”

The Prophet ﷺ said:

“As much as you wish.”

Ubayy رضي الله عنه asked:

“A quarter?”

The Prophet ﷺ replied:

“As much as you wish. But if you increase it, it is better for you.”

He asked:

“Half?”

The Prophet ﷺ replied:

“As much as you wish. But if you increase it, it is better for you.”

He asked:

“Two-thirds?”

Again, the Prophet ﷺ replied:

“As much as you wish. But if you increase it, it is better for you.”

Then Ubayy رضي الله عنه said:

“Then I will make all of my supplication for you.”

The Prophet ﷺ then said:

“Then you will be relieved of your worries, and your sins will be forgiven.”

📚 Reported in Jamiʿ at-Tirmidhi 2457. Imam al-Tirmidhi graded the narration Hasan; scholars have differed over its later grading.

Pause for a moment…

Read that again.

“Your worries will be taken care of, and your sins will be forgiven.”

What a beautiful promise!

Ubayy رضي الله عنه did not begin by asking for wealth.

He did not ask for status.

He did not ask for a bigger house.

He asked about sending salāh upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.

And the Prophet ﷺ encouraged him to increase it.

🌹 My brother… my sister…

Perhaps you are carrying a burden that nobody knows about.

Perhaps you smile in front of people while your heart is crying in private.

Perhaps you have debts.

Perhaps you are worried about your future.

Perhaps you are waiting for something you have been asking Allah for over and over again.

Perhaps you simply feel tired.

Then remember Allah.

Make duʿā.

Repent.

And increase your salāh upon the Prophet ﷺ.

Say:

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ وَسَلِّمْ عَلَى نَبِيِّنَا مُحَمَّدٍ

Allāhumma ṣalli wa sallim ʿalā nabiyyinā Muḥammad.

“O Allah, send Your blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.”

And remember the authentic teaching of the Prophet ﷺ:

“Whoever sends blessings upon me once, Allah sends blessings upon him ten times.”

📚 Sahih Muslim 384; Sahih Muslim 408.

Imagine that.

You say it once…

Allah rewards you tenfold.

You say it again…

Again, Allah rewards you.

You continue…

And your tongue becomes occupied with something beloved.

So do not wait until Friday.

Do not wait until you are in difficulty.

Make salāh upon the Prophet ﷺ part of your daily life.

While walking.

While sitting.

After your prayers.

Before sleeping.

When your heart is happy.

When your heart is hurting.

But above all, do it sincerely, seeking the pleasure and reward of Allah.

❤️ My People,

You do not have to be perfect before you begin.

You do not need a special place.

You do not need a special time.

Begin with one sincere salāh.

Then another.

Then another.

May Allah fill our hearts with love for Him and love for His Messenger ﷺ.

May He forgive our sins, ease our worries, strengthen our īmān, accept our duʿās, and grant us the companionship of Muhammad ﷺ in Jannatul-Firdaus.

Āmīn yā Rabbal-ʿĀlamīn.

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ وَسَلِّمْ وَبَارِكْ عَلَى نَبِيِّنَا مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ

❤️ Never underestimate a small act of worship done sincerely for Allah.
