O Allah, shower Your mercy upon Hadhrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), the unlettered Nabi, and upon the family of Hadhrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), as You showered Your mercy upon Hadhrat Ebrahim (Alaihis Salaam), and the family of Hadhrat Ebrahim (Alaihis Salaam), and shower Your blessings upon Hadhrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), the unlettered Nabi, and upon the family of Hadhrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), as You showered Your blessings upon Hadhrat Ebrahim (Alaihis Salaam) and the family of Hadhrat Ebrahim (Alaihis Salaam). Indeed You are praiseworthy and most glorious.

The love of Sahaabah (radhiyallahu ‘anhum) for Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam)

Somebody once asked Hazrat Ali (radhiyallahu ‘anhu), “How much love did the Sahaabah  (radhiyallahu ‘anhum) really possess for Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam)?”

Hazrat Ali (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) replied, “I take a qasm on Allah Ta‘ala, Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) was more beloved and dearer to us than our riches, our children and our mothers, and his company was more cherished than a drink of cold water at the time of severest thirst.” Al-Shifa 2/52

يَا رَبِّ صَلِّ وَ سَلِّمْ دَائِمًا أَبَدًا عَلَى حَبِيبِكَ خَيرِ الخَلْقِ كُلِّهِمِ
