Abī Talhah al-Ansārī said:
The Messenger of Allāh arose one morning in a very pleasant mood with signs of good tidings apparent on his face. They said, O Prophet of Allāh , you are in a very pleasant mood with signs of good tidings showing on your face. He said, Lo, the angel (Jibrīl) came to me, and said, Are you not pleased, O Muhammad, that your Lord says:
No one of your nation invokes blessings on you except that I will bless him tenfold and no one from your nation asks Allāh to grant you peace except that I will grant him peace tenfold.
The Prophet responded, Yes, indeed.'
[narrated by Ibn Abi Shaybah, Ahmad, Abd bin Hamīd and at-Tirmidhi. Cited with slightly different wording in Imam Abu Sulayman al-Jazulis Dalail al-Khayrat The Index of Good Things]
Abu Hurayrah reported Allāhs Messenger as saying:
If anyone invokes a blessing on me once, God will grant him ten blessings.
[al-Bukharī and Muslim (from two narrators) narrated it from Abū Hurayrah. Also from Aħmad in his Musnad, Abu Dawūd in his Sunan, at-Tirmidhī and an-Nasā`i all from Abū Hurayrah. Another extended version to this narrated from Anas from again al-Bukhārī in his Adab, Ahmad in his Musnad Nasa`i and al-Hākim in his Mustadrak, which added: ..and ten faults will fall from him and Allāh will raise him ten levels. Al-Hāfiz as-Suyūtī graded both hadīths authentic.]
The Prophet is reported to have said:
Whoever among my nation invokes blessings upon me, ten good deeds are written for him and ten sins are erased from him.
[Imām al-Ghazālī reported it in his Ihyā. Al-Haythamī reported it in his al-Zawāid as did al-Bazzār and al-Hindī in his Kanz al-Ummāl with a slightly different wording.]
Abd ar-Rahman b. Auf said: Allāhs Messenger went out and entering among some palm trees prostrated himself so long that I was afraid Allāh had taken his soul. I went and looked, and he raised his head and said, What is the matter with you? I mentioned that to him, and he told me that Jibril had come and given him the good news that Allāh said, If anyone invokes one blessing on you I will bless him, and if anyone greets you I will greet him.
[Ahmad transmitted it from Abd-Rahmān bin Auf, al-Hākim in his Mustadrak with an authentic isnad, Ibn Najār. Again Aħmad and al-Haythamī in his Zawa`id recorded it with a different wording. All hadīths on this subject are authentic based on the criteria of the two Shaykhs, Imām al-Bukhārī and Muslim.]
Al-Abbās said when Allāh says, Send prayer (on the Prophet), [33:56] it means to seek blessings.
[Ibn Jarīr, Ibn Mundhir, Ibn Abī Hātim reported it.]
Abū al-Alīyyah said:
Allāħs praising of him is His Tribute to him in the presence of the angels. And the praising of the angels is the supplication for him .
[Abd bin Hamīd and Ibn Abī Hātim reported it.]
Ibn Abbās said:
The Children of Isrāīl said to Mūsa, Does your Lord praise (anyone)? And His Lord called to him, O Mūsa, did they ask you if your Lord praises? Say to them, Yes, I and the angels send prayers on My Prophets and Messengers.'
Then Allāh revealed: Without a doubt Allāħ and His angels send prayers on the Prophet. [33:51]
[Reported by Ibn Abi Hātim (from Abū Hurayrah ), Abd-Razzāq and Abū ash-Shaykh in his Azhamah, Ibn Mardawiya from Ibn Abbās . Abd-Razzāq also recorded it from al-Hasan .]
Kab ibn Ajrah said, When Allāh revealed the verse, Without a doubt Allāh and his Angels send prayers on the Prophet. O Ye who believe, send prayer to him and peace constantly [33:56] we said, O Messenger of Allāh, we know how to send blessing on you, so how do we send prayer on you? He said:
Say, O Allāh send prayers on the Muhammad and the Family of Muhammad just as You have sent prayers on Ibrāhīm and the Family of Ibrāhīm. Surely You are the Praised, the Majestic. And bless Muhammad and the Family of Muhammad just as You have blessed Ibrāhīm and the Family of Ibrāhīm. Surely You are the Praised, the Majestic.
[Reported by Saīd bin Mansūr, Abd bin Hamīd, Ibn Abi Hātim and Ibn Mardawiyah all from the narration of Kab bin Ajwah]
Kab bin Ajrah said, A man said, O Messenger of Allāh, as far as giving peace onto you, we know of that. But how do we sent prayers on you? He said:

He said: Say: O Allāh send prayers on Muhammad just as You have sent prayers on Ibrāhīm. O Allāh bless Muhammad just as You have blessed the Family of Ibrāhīm.'
