May AIlah protect us from this! Swahili - Al-Barwani : Hakika Mwenyezi Mungu na Malaika wake wanamsalia Nabii Enyi mlio amini Msalieni na mumsalimu kwa salamu• They cannot harm him by their mean machinations when My mercies and blessings are with him, and My angels pray for hlm day and night to the effect: "O Lord of the worlds, raise Muhammad to even higher ranks and make his Religion flourish and prosper | Thus, from al-Muhammad is excluded every such person who is not on the way of Muhammad upon whom be Allah's peace and blessings , whether he be a member of his household, and in it is included every such person, who is following in his footsteps, whether he is not even distantly related to him by blood |

After it, it is neither obligatory fend to recite the Kalimah nor the darud | Therefore, what the Holy Prophet means to say is this: "O Allah, just as You have made the Prophet Abraham the refuge of the followers of aII the Prophets, so You make me also the refuge, so that no one who is a believer in Prophethood, may remain deprived of the grace of believing in my Prophethood |
The darud is the natural supplication of the heart of every Muslim, who realizes that the Holy Prophet Muhammad upon Whom be Allah's peace is the Ummah's greatest benefactor after Allah.
Ibn 'Abbas: From him also the same darud as given above has been reported with a slight difference | This was the rime when the enemies of Islam were making alI sorts of false allegations against the Holy Prophet in order to satisfy their jealousy on the success of Faith, By sullying him they thought they would destroy his moralinfluence through which Islam and the Muslims were gaining more and more ground every day |

The greater one's appreciation of Islam and the Faith, the greater will one be appreciative of the favours of the Holy Prophet himself; and the greater one's appreciation of the favours of the Holy Prophet, the more often will he pronounce the darud and salat on him | But when this word is used for the servants, whether angels or men, it will be in alI the three meanings |
However, the majority of the Muslim scholars opine that it was correct for Allah and His Messenger but not so for the Ummah | therefore, implore You to send it on my behalf and take from me whatever service You will in this regard |

Bersalawatlah kalian untuk Nabi dan ucapkanlah salam penghormatan kepadanya yaitu katakanlah oleh kalian, "Allaahumma Shalli 'Alaa Sayyidinaa Muhammad Wa Sallim", artinya, "Ya Allah! The Qur'an has used the word al Fir aun at fourteen places but nowhere has it been used to mean the people of Pharaoh's household only; everywhere it implies alI those who sided with him in the conflict against the Prophet Moses | The people have found it difficult to understand this |
Another group holds that it is absolutely wajib to recite it in the Prayer but not necessarily in the tashahhud.
