Indeed Allah and His angels confer blessings upon the Prophet, O believers! Confer blessings upon him and salute him with a worthy salutation” [33:56] The Chain of TransmissionHe emphasised personal discipline and refinement of the ego. As a spiritual master, he required his students to adopt the patched cloak and staff. They were required to fast, practice solitary devotion and adhere to his methods of discipline.

They are: pride of knowledge, bad character, and beholding a bad opinion of people. The blessings of sending blessings on the Prophet ﷺ and its lights are evident and clear to anyone.

It is by far the most popular and universally-acclaimed collection of prayers upon the Prophet ﷺ and has been observed as a litany throughout the Muslim world for over five hundred years. Millions of Muslims in the East and the West throughout the generations have eagerly recited it either in solitude in their homes or communally in mosques and Sufi lodges. For over 300 years in the Haramain of Makkah and Madinah, Dalail al-Khayrat was recited in daily gatherings after the Asr prayer. It is one of those rare books that has become so popular that the number of printed copies remains unknown. Our salaf devoted huge time for this act only due to the importance it holds. The uniqueness of Dalailul Khairat salawat is that Imam Jazuli had collected all the salawat at that time and compiled these in a book form, he had structured them into daily recitation pattern. The needy one Yusuf al-Nabhani, Allah forgive him, his parents and all those who pray for their forgiveness says: It is evident to me that Imam al-Jazuli (Allah be pleased with him) after his authoring the Dala’il al-Khayrat continued to review it. Each time it became clear to him that a word should be changed to another word he would do so, and this would be narrated from him by his students despite the earlier editions having spread with the earlier wording, and so on and so forth up to the time of his death (Allah be pleased with him).The great righteous and the great scholars and the Imams of hadith and across the Islamic Sciences were extremely creative and variegated in the many ways in which they strived to their utmost to express the meanings of sending blessings upon the our noble and exalted Messenger ﷺ. After returning to Morocco around 857/1453, Imam Jazuli returned to Fes before settling in Asafi in western Morocco. With the extent of his esoteric and exoteric knowledge of the Islamic sciences, Imam al-Jazuli established Tariqa Jazuliyya, guiding thousands of students. He established a zawiya and a set of teachings for his students. He and his followers lived in tents around the ruins of the tomb of Abu Salih Muhammad al- Maghari. When we cannot compare these great works that the scholars engage in and weigh which one is better than the other. So the scholars of hadith served this Ummah by gathering the words that had emanated from the noble mouth of the Prophet ﷺ and they gathered them and collected them and spread them in the Ummah. Khtam in Honour of the Shaykh who authored the Book this is a lso a request from the author too as the end of se ction 8.
