Salawat: Difference between revisions

The most common phrase of Salawat among Shi'a is; '''اللهم صل علی محمد و آل محمد''' (O Allah, May you grant peace and honor on Muhammad and his family). All Islamic denominations are consent to "O Allah, May you grant peace and honor on Muhammad" as the main phrase of Salawat, but there are conflicts about the following phrase. Unlike [[Sunni]]s, Shi'as often attach the following phrase; "and his family", adducing many hadiths in Shi'a and Sunni sources, in which it is suggested that a complete Salawat contains the following phrase. For instance it is narrated that [[the Prophet (s)]] said to a man who asked about Salawat; 'Say, 'O Allah, May you grant peace and honor on Muhammad and his family, so as You granted peace and honor on the dynasty of Ibrahim, verily You are the Laudable, the Glorious. O Allah, May you grant blessing on Muhammad and his family, so as You granted blessing on Ibrahim, verily You are the Laudable, the Glorious''.

Some hadiths state that Salawat is complete but with the following phrase. Also some [[hadith]]s reported from [[Ahl al-Bayt]] stress that Salawat upon the holy Prophet (s) should accompany Salawat upon his family, such as a hadith from [[Imam al-Sadiq (a)]] that such phrases Salawat; 'May be on Muhammad and his family the salutations of Allah, and his angels, his prophets, and all his creatures, and Greetings be upon him and his family, along with Allah's mercy and blessing'. It is also narrated that Salawat upon the Prophet (s) is recorded as a hundred good deeds, while a Salawat upon him and his family is recorded as a thousand.

Furthermore, as suggested by several hadiths narrated from Ahl al-Bayt, some Shi'as, especially in [[Iran]], utter the phrase; "'''و عجل فرجهم '''(and may You hasten their glad advent)", following to Salawat.
