Reward of reciting salutation (Salawaat) on thebHoly Prophet (s.a.w.s.)

1. Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) narrates from his predecessors that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “I will stand near Mizan on the Day of Judgment. If I see a person whose sins are more than his good deeds I will keep the salutations recited on me by him in the pan of good deeds and make it tilt in his favor.”

2. The narrator told Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.), “When I entered the house of Allah, I didn’t remember any supplication except salutations on the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.).” Imam (a.s.) replied, “No one present there did a better deed than you.”

3. Amirul Momineen (a.s.) said, “No supplication reaches the heaven unless one recites salutation on Muhammad (s.a.w.s.) and his progeny.”
