Prayers Upon The Prophet & His Family.

[aneedyservant]

According to the Imams or any other source, what is the best Salawat or Prayers to send upon the Prophet and His Family? In Sunni circles there's a popular one known as Salatul Fatih.

O God bless our Master Muhammad (pbuh) who opened what had been closed, and who is the Seal of what had gone before, he who makes the Truth Victorious by the Truth, the guide to thy straight path, and bless his household as is the due of his immense position and grandeur.

[Hafsa]

Amien! Pray upon Mohammed his familiy and his companions and wifes.

Having read most of the du'a in it this ramadhan (apart from a few) I have to say that i find it vastly superior to mafatih in many ways, except of course mafatih has du'a Kumayl, and i also like the du'a of the days, the ziarats are mostly average

Amien! Pray upon Mohammed his familiy and his companions and wifes.

yes yes of course. Ashabul muntajabeen. The companions that didnt desert the rightful caliph of the time. Not the other companions who stole the caliph from Imam ALi (as).

And pray for those wives that fit the quranic definition in sura tahreem like the example of Maryam (as) and Aasiya bint Muzahim (as) and NOT those wives of the Prophet (pbuh) who fit the description of the wife of Loot (as) and the wife of Nooh (as).

we should ask Allah (aj) to send his blessings onthe mother of the women of paradise, Fatima (as) bint Muhammad (pbuh) mother, Khadija bint Khuwaylid (sa).

There are companions and wives who deserve the opposite of blessings. They deserve la'nat (a request to Allah (aj) to remove his mercy). But on this site, I cannot mention the names.
