Recite the following blessings to the Prophet s.a.w in<br />

between the Tahajjud prayer:<br />

1. “O Lord, bestow Your blessing upon our master Muhammad,<br />

Alternately:<br />

<strong>and</strong> settled him at the seat closer to You at the Day of<br />

Reckoning.” (100)<br />

2. “O Lord, bestow Your blessing upon our master Muhammad,<br />

the Opening to the Seal, the Conclusion of thi Journey, <strong>and</strong> the<br />

true assistant with guidance to Your straight path, Allah’s<br />

blessing upon him <strong>and</strong> his family, the truly appreciative <strong>and</strong> a<br />

magnificent appreciation.” (100)<br />

Or three times then recite:<br />

as many times as the number of His creations, <strong>and</strong> all His<br />

Spiritual Blessings, <strong>and</strong> all the beauty of His Throne <strong>and</strong> all His<br />

true sayings.<br />

In another Hadith,<br />

Allah’s Prophet s.a.w. used to pray eleven raka'ats at night <strong>and</strong><br />

that was his night prayer <strong>and</strong> each of his prostrations lasted for a period<br />

enough for one of you to recite fifty verses before the Allah’s Prophet<br />

s.a.w. raised his head.<br />

He also used to pray two cycles [raka'ats] nawafil before the<br />

(compulsory) Fajr prayer <strong>and</strong> then lie down on his right side till the<br />

Mu'adhdhin came to him for the prayer.<br />

From Bukhari narrated by Aisha r.a.<br />
