Sending Blessings Upon the Prophet ﷺ

Hadith: Arabic Text followed by English Translation. 
عن أبي بن كعب رضي الله عنه قال :  قُلْتُ

قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنِّي أُكْثِرُ الصَّلَاةَ عَلَيْكَ ، فَكَمْ أَجْعَلُ لَكَ مِنْ صَلَاتِي ؟

فَقَالَ : ( مَا شِئْتَ ) ،

قَالَ : قُلْتُ : الرُّبُعَ ؟

قَالَ : ( مَا شِئْتَ ، فَإِنْ زِدْتَ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ ) ،

قُلْتُ : النِّصْفَ ؟

قَالَ : ( مَا شِئْتَ ، فَإِنْ زِدْتَ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ ) ،

قَالَ : قُلْتُ : فَالثُّلُثَيْنِ ؟

قَالَ : ( مَا شِئْتَ ، فَإِنْ زِدْتَ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ ) ،

قُلْتُ : أَجْعَلُ لَكَ صَلَاتِي كُلَّهَا ؟

قَالَ : ( إِذًا تُكْفَى هَمَّكَ ، وَيُغْفَرُ لَكَ ذَنْبُكَ )

‏ورواه الترمذي (٢٤٥٧) ، وحسنه الألباني في “صحيح الترمذي “.

Ubayy ibn Ka‘b (may Allah be pleased with him) said:

I said: O Messenger of Allah, I want to send more blessings upon you (before offering supplication); how much of my supplication should I allocate to that?

He said: “Whatever you wish.”

I said: One quarter?

He said “Whatever you wish, but if you do more, it will be better for you.”

I said: Half?

He said: “Whatever you wish but if you do more, it will be better for you.”

I said: Two thirds?

He said: “Whatever you wish, but if you do more, it will be better for you.”

I said: Shall I make all of my supplication for that?

He said: Then your worries will be taken care of and your sin will be forgiven.”

اللهمَّ صلِّ على محمَّد وعلى آل محمَّد، كما صليتَ على إبراهيم وعلى آل إبراهيم؛ إنَّك حميدٌ مجيد. اللهمَّ بارِك على محمَّد وعلى آل محمَّد، كما باركتَ على إبراهيم وعلى آل إبراهيم؛ إنَّك حميدٌ مجيد

Allahumma swalli `ala Muhammad wa `ala ali Muhammad kama swallayta `ala Ibrahim wa `ala ali Ibrahim, innaka hamidun majid. Allahumma barik `ala Muhammad wa `ala ali Muhammad kama barakta `ala Ibrahim wa `ala ali Ibrahim, innaka hamidun majid

O Allah, send prayers upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad, as You sent prayers upon Ibrahim and upon the family of Ibrahim; You are indeed Worthy of Praise, Full of Glory. O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad as You sent blessings upon Ibrahim and upon the family of Ibrahim; You are indeed Worthy of Praise, Full of Glory.
