Reward of reciting salutation (Salawaat) on the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم once

1. My father رحمه الله said: it was narrated to me by Sa’d b. Abdillah who said it was narrated to me by Salamah b. al-Khattab from Ismail b. Ja’far from al-Hussain b. Ali from his father from Abi Basir from Abi Abdillah عليه السلام who said: “Whenever the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم is mentioned, send salutations on him excessively. One who sends salutation on the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم once, the Almighty Allah will order one thousand rows having a thousand angels each to send salutation on that person. Everything in this universe will send salutations on him because of the salutations of Allah and the angels. Allah and His Messenger صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم are wary of ignorant and proud people. Hence no one hesitates reciting salutation on the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم except an ignorant and a proud man.”
