There is no Muslim except that he loves the chosen Prophet and the chief of the sons of Adam: Muhammad ibn Abdullah صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ And how can the Muslim not love him, when it is he who Allah sent as a mercy to mankind, as Allah said: وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَكَ إِلَّا رَحْمَةً لِّلْعَلَمِينَ "And We have not sent you (O Muhammad) but as a mercy for the 'Alamin (all of mankind)." al-Anbiyā 21:107 From the rights of the Messenger of Allah صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ is that when he is mentioned, we send Şalāt and Salam upon him, صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم This action is from the noblest of deeds, as has come in the hadith of Abū Hurayrah )رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ( going back [to the Prophet[: من صلى علي صلاة واحدة صلى الله عليه بها عشراً "Whoever sends one Șalāt upon me, Allāh will send ten Şalāt upon him." So, what is the meaning of sending Şalāt upon the Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ (? What is the correct manner in doing so, and what are its virtues? In this small treatise, al-Allamah Shaykh 'Abd al-Muhsin al-'Abbād clarifies all of that. He also mentions some of the books written on this subject in accordance with what is proven by the sound legislative evidences. Likewise, he tackles the lies, fabrications, and exaggerations which some books hold as it relates to this subject, and in particular the book Dalā'il al-Khayrāt by al-Jazūlī. We ask Allah to reward the author and make this book a benefit for the Islamic Ummah. Indeed, He is the All-Hearer, the One who responds to the supplications. Pages 44
