SALAAT ON THE SALAAH OF THE PROPHET Sallallahu 'alaihi wa Sallam

An established tradition among the mashaaikh (spiritual masters) who have composed salawaat is to invoke blessings of Allah on each of the 'amal (actions and deeds) of the blessed Prophet Sallallahu 'alaihi wa Sallam. Shaykh 'Abdur Rahman Chohravi is no exception. His salaat (blessing) on the salaah (daily worship) of the beloved Prophet Sallallahu 'alaihi wa Sallam is a gem nobody would like to part with.

Allahumma Salli wa Sallim 'alaa Sayyidina Muhammad-in
Wa 'alaa aali Sayyidina Muhammad-in
Wa 'alaa jiz'ihee fi'l jizaa'i
Wa niyyatihee fi'n niyyaati
Wa takbeerihee fi't takbeeraati
Wa tahreematihee fi't tahreemaati
Wa fardhihee fi'l faraaidhi
Wa waajibihee fi'l waajibaati
Wa sunnatihee fi's sunani
Wa mustahabbatihee fi'l mustahabbaati
Wa naflihee fi'n nawaafili
Wa mubaahihee fi'l mubaahaati
Wa tahajjudihee fi'l mutahajjideena
Wa qira'atihee fi'l qurraai

O Allah! Bestow blessings and peace on Sayyidina Muhammad
and on the family of Sayyidina Muhammad
and on his tree stump among all tree stumps,
and on his intention among all intentions,
and on his takbeer (Allahu Akbar) among all takbeeraat,
and on his tahreem (to start a fardh), among all tahreemaat,
and on his fardh among all faraaidh,
and on his waajib among all waajibaat,
and on his sunnah among all sunnah,
and on his mustahab among all mustahabbaat,
and on his nafl among all nawaafil,
and on his mubaah among all mubaahaat,
and on his tahajjud salaah among all tahajjud salaah,
and on his recitation among all recitations.

In invoking blessings on the salaah of the beloved Prophet, the Shaykh also invokes blessings on the tree stump where he used to deliver his Friday khutbah (sermon) until a pulpit was built for him as we learn from this blessed Hadith Shareef :

Narrated by Jabir bin Abdullah Rady Allahu Anhu: The Prophet Sallallahu alaihi wa Sallam used to stand by a tree or a date palm on Friday. Then an Ansari woman or man said, "O Allah's Apostle! Shall we make a pulpit for you?" He replied, "If you wish". So they made a pulpit for him and when it was Friday, he proceeded towards the pulpit (for delivering the sermon). The date-palm cried like a child! The Prophet Sallallahu alaihi wa Sallam descended (the pulpit) and embraced it while it continued moaning like a child being quietened. The Prophet Sallallahu alaihi wa Sallam said, "It was crying for (missing) what it used to hear of religious knowledge given near to it" (Bukhari)
