و عن أبد رحمن ابْنَ أَبِي لَيْلَى قَالَ
لَقِيَنِي كَعْبُ بْنُ عُجْرَةَ فَقَالَ
أَلاَ أُهْدِي لَكَ هَدِيَّةً
From Abdur Rahman bin Abi Layl, he said
"I met Kaad bin Ujrah."
He said, "Should I not offer you
a present?"
What is the present?
A knowledge.
إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came to us.
And we said, "O Messenger of Allah."
قَدْ عَلّمنَا اللَّهِ
كَيْفَ نُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكَ
"Allah taught us how
to invoke peace upon you."
فَكَيْفَ نُصَلِّي عَلَيْكَ
"Sekarang kami bertanya tentang shalawat."
"How we should bless you?"
The Holy Prophet said: Say:
اللهم صل على محمد وعلى آل محمد
كما صليت على إبراهيم إنك حميد مجيد،
وبارك على محمد وعلى آل محمد
كما باركت على إبراهيم إنك حميد مجيد
They said, "Allah taught us how
to invoke peace upon you."
"Salammu 'alaika."
"What about shalawat [blessing] to you?
We don't know how to do shalawat to you."
I am asking you, the companions,
did they know Arabic?
They were expert in Arabic.
They might create shalawat themselves.
They were capable.
But since the Prophet was there,
why should they make it themselves?
So, they asked the Prophet
how to do a good shalawat...
... for the Prophet ﷺ.
So, the Prophet taught them shalawat
known as shalawat Ibrahimiyah.
اللهم صل على محمد
وعلى آل محمد
كما صليت على إبراهيم وعلى آل إبراهيم
إنك حميد مجيد، اللهم بارك على محمد
وعلى آل محمد كما باركت على إبراهيم
وعلى آل إبراهيم إنك حميد مجيد
This is the best blessing.
It is called shalawat Ibrahimiyah.
But most people don't do shalawat
with this one.
Because it is not good to hear
to make melodious (like a song).
So people create this shalawat.
Shalawat Fatih, shalawat Nariyah.
That shalawat.
This shalawat.
Brothers, the Prophet had taught us.
This shalawat came directly
from the Prophet ﷺ's tongue.
And it was the companions who asked.
Surely, the Prophet taught the best one.
And the companions were able to create.
They were able to make up.
Because they were expert in Arabic.
But since the Prophet was there,
they asked the Prophet.
So why do we do shalawat
made by other people.
I don't blame it as long as the content
is not made up just like that.
But when one believes that
whosoever says shalawat Fatih...
... it is as if he reads the whole Quran
many times...
Whosoever recites shalawat Nariyah,
they will have this and that...
It needs references for that.
"From experiences." is not valid for reference.
Experience? Many go to the cimitery, and churches
to pray, and their prayers are granted.
Would that be a reference?
Experience is not a reference.
How can we leave the prayer that
the Prophet taught us...
... while we take prayers
made up by someone we don't know.
Whether it is right or wrong,
the reward is not clear.
We shall keep shalawat that
the Prophet taught us.
It is called shalawat Ibrahimiyah.
