SALAWAAT AND SUPPLICATION FOR THE REAPPEARANCE OF HIS HOLINESS (A.S.) ON ASR TIME OF FRIDAY

It is narrated from Imam Sadiq (A.S.) that:

            “On the day of resurrection, Allah (S.W.T.) will select the days and place the day of Friday, which will appear like a beautiful and exquisite bride that is gifted to a wealthy religious person, before all the other days. And the day of Friday (while having all the other days behind it) will stand in front of the Heaven’s gate, and intercede for all those who recited numerous Salawaat on Mohammad and his holy household (peace be upon them).

Abdullah bin Sanaan says: I asked: What does numerous Salawaat imply? And reciting Salawaat on which hours of Friday holds additional virtue?

            His holiness replied: One hundred times.

            Abdullah bin Sinaan asked: How should we recite Salawaat?

            He said: say:

أَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ الِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، وَعَجِّلْ فَرَجَهُمْ .

            “O’ Allah, send blessings upon Mohammad and his holy Progeny, and hasten their relief.

            And repeat this one hundred times. [1]
