Reciting the so-called Al-Salah Al-Nariyyah

Q 5: What is ruling on saying what is known as Al-Salah Al-Nariyyah? It is as follows: "O Allah, send Your best Prayers and Blessings upon our master Muhammad through whom difficulties are overcome, distresses are removed, needs are fulfilled, hopes come true, lives are sealed in good, and rain is sought to come down through his noble face. O Allah, send Your Prayers and Blessings upon his family and Companions at every single breath commensurate with every thing known to You."

A: The proper formula of sending Allah's Prayers and Blessings upon the Prophet is said the following way: "O Allah, send Your Prayers upon our Prophet Muhammad." It is, however, preferable to add: "and upon the family of Muhammad as You have sent Your Prayers upon Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim. Indeed You are the Most Praiseworthy, Most Glorious. O Allah, send Your Blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad as You have sent Your Blessings upon Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim in all generations. (Part No. 24; Page No. 168) Indeed You are the Most Praiseworthy, Most Glorious."May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
