The Respected Shaykh Went On To Say How The Prophet Of Allah Sallalahu Alayhi Wasalam Is The Most Followed Person On The Surface Of This Earth. The Respected Shaykh Went On To Quote An Ayaah Of The Quran ( Glorious Quran 33:56 ) - Innallaha Wa Malaaikatahu Yusalluna Alan Nabi. Ya Ay Yuhal Latheena Amanu Sallu Alayhi Wasalli Mu Tasleema.  [Allâh sends His blessings on the Prophet and also His angels (ask Allâh to bless and forgive him). O you who believe! Send your Salât on (ask Allâh to bless) him), and greet him with the Islâmic way of greeting.]

The Respected Shaykh Of The Grand Mosque Thereafter Expressed The Status Of The Prophet Muhammad Sallalahu Alayhi Wasalam Within The Various Ways Including The Quoted Verse Above. Thereafter The Respected Imam In Front Of The Thousands Of People Began Quoting Ahadith Narrated By Abu Huraira Radhiyallahu Anhu / Anas Radhiyallahu Anhu And Abdillahi Ibn Amir Bin Atta ...... Radhiyallahu Anhu - Which Are Found In The Books Of Ahadith.

One Hadith Which The Respected Imam Of The Grand Mosque Mentioned Was: Rasulullah (Sallallaaahu Alayhi Wasallam) Has Said: - "Whosoever Sends One Durood Upon Me, Allah Ta'ala Will Shower Ten Mercies Upon Him." (Muslim)

The Respected Imam Of Masjid Nabawi Then Began Mentioning The Following Which Is In The Books Of Ahadith (Tirmidhi Shareef, Ahmad And Hakim): Ubay Ibne Ka'ab Radhiyallahu Anhu Reports That Ubayy said: ya rasulallāh innī ukthiru al-salāta `alayka fa kam aj`al laka min salātī "O Messenger of Allah, I make much salawat upon you as a habit. How much of my prayer should I devote to you?"
The Prophet said: "As much as you like."
Ubayy said: "A quarter?"
The Prophet said: "As you like, but if you add to that it will be better for you."
Ubayy then mentioned a third, then a half, then two thirds, and always the Prophet answered: "As you like, but if you add to that it will be better for you."
Finally Ubayy said: yā rasulallāh innī urīdu an aj`ala salātī kullahā lak - "O Messenger of Allah, I want to devote my entire prayer (i.e. du`a) to you."
Whereupon the Prophet said: "Then you will be freed from care and your sins will be forgiven."

The Sahabi Made Dua Very Quick, So When The Sahabi Had Finished His Dua He Informed Him That He Was Haste When He Made Dua, Whereas We Should First Praise Allah And Thereafter Send Salutations Upon Our Beloved Prophet Of Allah Sallalahu Alayhi Wasalam And Make Dua.

Concluding This Transcript Of The Friday Khutbah Which Has Been Written To The Best Of My Knowledge And Ability There Is A Few Points Which The Respected Shaykh Mentioned Which We Possibly Face In Our Daily Lives. May Allah First Forgive Me If Anything In This Transcript Is Wrong And May Allah Make This Transcript Of The Jummah Khutbah Bring A Change In Our Lives And May He Increase Our Love For The Prophet Of Allah Sallalahu Alayhi Wasalam. Starting With The First Point Which Was Mentioned Was How People Who Know The Arab Language, When They Write The Prophet Of Allah Sallalahu Alayhi Wasalam's Name, They Abbrevieate It By Writing A 'saad' - Wherein They Should Write The Prophet Of Allah Sallalahu Alayhi Wasalam's Name In Full. For Us Living In The United Kingdom, South Africa And Where Every The English Language Is Spoken, We Should Try Our Utmost Best To Write The Prophet Of Allah Sallalahu Alayhi Wasalam's Name In Full Than Wrting 's.a.w'. The Second Point Which He Mentioned And Stressed Upon In The Second Khutbah Was How Important It Is To Send Salutations Upon Our Beloved Prophet Muhammad Sallalahu Alayhi Wasalam And How We Should Make Sure We Avoid Any Type Of Innovations And ' Bidah ' Relating To This.
