One who offers salat, Allah exalts him, forgives his sins and Allah?s blessings are upon him. Salat ascends the seeker?s supplication and gets a favourable reception from Allah. There is also no guarantee of the acceptance of a dua (supplication) without invoking blessings on the Prophet (saw). A tradition of the Holy Prophet (saw) states:
Fadalah bin ?Ubayd reported: Allah?s Messenger (saw) was sitting amongst us, there entered a person and he prayed as saying, "O Allah! Forgive me, have mercy upon me." Thereupon Allah?s Messenger (saw) said, "O worshipper! You have made haste in praying. When you pray and sit (at the end) laud Allah of what He is worthy of and send blessings upon me and then supplicate Him." The narrator said: Then another man prayed after him and he lauded Allah and invoked blessings of Allah upon the Prophet (saw), and the Prophet (saw) said to him, "O worshipper! Make a supplication and it would be responded."[6]
Once ?Umar bin Khattab (rta) said to his nation:
The supplication is stopped between the heaven and the earth and nothing of it ascends, till you invoke blessing on your Prophet (saw).[7]
There is also a distinction in the type of reward given to Believers, dependent upon whether they send salat, dua, prayers on to the Prophet (saw) or send salam, peace on to the Holy Prophet (saw). The difference in reward is of type and degree. In the case of sending salat upon the Prophet (saw), believers receive ujrat, ?spiritual wages? for their act. Just as a labourer will be given reward for his hard work in the form of monetary wages, a Believer who sends prayers receives spiritual wages in the form of forgiveness and blessings form Allah (swt). The Noble Prophet (saw) has guaranteed the intercession for those who send salutations if they ask Allah for it. ?Abdullah bin ?Amr bin al-Aas (rta) reported that he heard the Prophet (saw) saying:
When you hear the mu?adhdhin, repeat what he says, then invoke blessings on me for every one who invokes blessings on me once, will receive ten blessings from Allah. Then ask Allah for the waseelah to be granted to me. It is a position in paradise that may not be granted to any but one of Allah?s servants, and I dearly hope that I will be that servant. Whoever asks Allah for the was&eelah for me, my intercession is guaranteed for him.[8]
This reward has also been carefully designated by Almighty Allah and its degree fixed. The Holy Prophet (saw) said:
He who invokes blessings upon me once, Allah showers ten blessings upon him and obliterates (his) ten sins and elevates him by ten ranks.[9]
He who blesses me once, Allah blesses him ten times.[10]
?Abdullah bin Masood (rta) reported Allah?s Messenger (saw) as saying:
The one who will be nearest me on the Day of Resurrection will be the one who invoked most blessings on me.[11]
Abu Talhah (rta) narrated assigning it to his father:
Allah?s Messenger came one day with a gleaming countenance and said, "Jibreel came to me and said," (Verily your Lord says,) "Muhammad! Does it not please you that one amongst your Ummah should invoke blessings on you and I should bless him ten times and one amongst your Ummah should send greetings of peace to you and I should send ten greetings of peace upon him.[12]
If a believer sends salam upon the Prophet (saw) the reward is much higher in rank and degree. Muslims who pay salam upon the Prophet (saw) will be given a reply and have the same returned to them by Almighty Allah and the angels. Prophet Muhammad (saw) stated:
There is no Muslim who invokes blessings upon me (salutes me), but Allah returns to me my soul till I respond to him in return.[13]
Abu Hurayrah (rta) reported the Prophet (saw) said:
There is no Muslim in the east and the west who salutes me, but I and the angels of my Lord answer him.[14]
?Abd-ur-Rahman bin ?Awf (rta) narrates that the Prophet (saw) said:
I met Jibril who said: I give you good news that Allah has said, "Whosoever asks for peace for you, I ask for peace for him, whosoever blesses you, I bless him."[15]
Amir bin Rabeeah (rta), on his father?s authority, said that he heard the Prophet (saw) saying:
The angels will continue to bless anyone who blesses me, as long as he continues to do so, so the servant should either reduce or enhance this.[16]
Ibn Wahb (rta) related that the Prophet (saw) said:
Whosoever asks for peace on me ten times, it is as if he has freed a slave.[17]
To be honoured with a reply and blessings is a great and prestigious reward. Sending the salute of peace upon the Prophet (saw) is the fulfillment of the command of Allah (swt) but the reward of a reply is the love of the Prophet (saw) for his Ummah. Through a reply a believer obtains spiritual attachment, nearness and proximity known as qurbat. In sending salat, the reward is fixed by Allah (swt). A Muslim will receive his tenfold reward or expiation of ten sins. In the case of sending peace and blessings, a Muslim receives manifold blessings in return. These blessings are multiple and great in number since the Prophet (saw) is grand in his mercy.
Through salat the conveyance of a dua, prayers to be sent to the Prophet (saw) create an indirect link with him, since sins will be forgiven through the Prophet?s intercession. However sending salām is an opportunity to send a direct address upon him creating a direct link with him. Out of his love and compassion Prophet Muhammad (saw) has made it incumbent upon himself to reply. He becomes happy from the addresses of his followers and blesses them too.
Despite this distinction this does not mean that we should only send salam upon the Prophet saw) as opposed to salat. In fact both of them should be sent according to the commandment. However, Allah out of His infinite mercy has allowed Muslims to benefit manifold from their acts.
