Hadith

 

عن أبي سعيد الخدري رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم أنه قال:

 It is related by Abu-Sa’id al-Khudri, may Allah be pleased with him,that the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said:

مَن رَآنِي فقَدْ رَأَى الحَقَّ فإنَّ الشَّيْطانَ لا يَتَكَوَّنُنِي

“Whoever sees me, sees me truly. For Satan cannot take my shape.”

رواه البخاري (6997) 

Narrated by Imam al-Bukhari

NOTE: 

و في الجامع أن سيدنا رضي الله عنه كان يقرأ هذا الدعاء في عدد لرؤية النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم في اليقظة.

 

It is narrated in the Kitab al-Jami‘ that Mawlana Shaykh Ahmad al-Tijani (RA) would recite the above mentioned Salawat in a large number in order to see the Prophet (SAW) while awake. He (RA) also recommended this to others, in addition to the blessed Salat al-Fatih.

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ الْفَاتِحِ لِمَا أُغْلِقَ

وَالْخَاتِمِ لِمَا سَبَقَ نَاصِرِ الْحَقِّ بِالْحَقِّ

وَالْهَادِي إِلَى صِرَاطِكَ الْمُسْتَقِيمِ

وَ عَلَى آلِهِ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِ وَ مِقْدَارِهِ الْعَظِيمِ
