Hilye-i Sherif
By Hafiz Osman Efendi
(from Tirmidhi:) The Prophet said, “He who sees my hilye after me, it is as if he
had actually seen me, and he who sees it out of love and desire for me, God will
forbid the fire of Hell to touch him. He will be safe from the trials of the grave,
and he will not be sent forth naked on the day of resurrection.”

Descriptions (Hilye) of the Holy Prophet (sws)
Translated by Mohamad Zakaria
Transmitted from Ali, may God be pleased with him, who, when asked to
describe the Prophet, peace be upon him, would say: He was not too tall nor too short. He
was medium sized. His hair was not short and curly, nor was it lank, but in between. His
face was not narrow, nor was it fully round, but there was a roundness to it. His skin was
white. His eyes were black. He had long eyelashes. He was big-boned and had wide
shoulders. He had no body hair except in the middle of his chest. He had thick hands and
feet. When he walked, he walked inclined, as if descending a slope. When he looked at
someone, he looked at them in full face.
Between his shoulders was the seal of prophecy, the sign that he was the last of the
prophets. He was the most generous-hearted of men, the most truthful of them in speech,
the most mild-tempered of them, and the noblest of them in lineage. Whoever saw him
unexpectedly was in awe of him. And whoever associated with him familiarly, loved him.
Anyone who would describe him would say, I never saw, before him or after him, the
like of him. Peace be upon him.
Hilal related to us, from Ata Bin Yasar. He said: “I met Abdullah ibn Amr ibn
Al-As, and I said, ‘Tell me about the description of the Prophet of God, peace be upon
him.”
He said, “Yes, certainly. By God, he was described in the Torah in some ways as in the
Quran, ‘O Prophet, we have sent you as a witness, a bringer of good tidings, and a
warner’ and as a protector of the weak. You are my servant and prophet. I have named
you The One Who Relies.”
“He was not crude, nor was he coarse, nor was he one to shout and make a lot of noise in
the marketplace. He did not answer an evil deed with another, but he would pardon and
forgive. He would not be taken by God until he had straightened out the crooked people,
until they would confess there was no divinity but God, and open blind eyes and deaf ears
and closed hearts. O God, grant mercy and peace to our master Muhammad and his
family.”
Al-Hasan, son of Ali [May God be pleased with both of them] said: “I
asked my uncle Hind, son of Abu Hala about the hilye [description] of the Prophet of
God, my peace and blessings be upon him. Hind was known to be a prolific describer of
the Prophet, and I wished him to relate some of it for me so I might hold fast to it.”
4
So Hind said: “The Prophet of God, peace be upon him, was of mighty significance to
God, and profoundly honored among the people. His face radiated light like the moon on
its fullest night. He was a bit taller than the medium stature and a bit shorter than the tall
and skinny. His head was large. His hair was wavy. If his hair parted, he would leave it
parted, if not he would leave it, and it would not be long enough to pass his earlobes. His
complexion was fair. He had a wide forehead, arched, thick eyebrows with a space
between them. There was a vein between them that would swell and pulse when he was
angry. His nose was aquiline; it had a brightness about the upper part that led those who
were less observant to think him haughty. He had a thick beard. His eyes were very black
and the whites very white. His cheeks were not prominent, he had a wide mouth. His
teeth were white and there was a space between his front teeth.
“There was a fine line of hair on his chest, and it was as if it were an ivory statue with the
purity of silver. His figure was well proportioned, full bodied and strong. There was no
slackness in his musculature, his chest didn’t protrude over his belly, nor the reverse. His
chest was broad and his shoulders wide and muscular. He had large limbs. The parts of
his body that could be seen while he was clothed were luminous. His body from the neck
to the navel was joined by hair which flowed down like a line. There was no hair on his
nipples. His forearms, shoulders, and upper chest were hairy. The bones of his forearms
were long. His palms were wide and generous. His hands and feet were thick. His limbs
were long. He had long sinews. His insteps were high. His feet were smooth without
protuberances and water would run off of them. When he would move off, he would
move with determination. He would step surely and unhurriedly and not proudly. He
walked gently and with dignity, and he would take wide steps when he wanted to walk
quickly. When he walked, it was as if he were descending from a slope and when he
would look at someone, he would turn to him fully. He would lower his gaze and look
down more often than up. He didn’t stare. He would lead his companions by walking
behind them out of modesty and would always be the first to greet them.”
At this point, Al-Hasan said to Hind, “Describe to me the way he spoke.”
Hind said, “The Prophet of God, peace and blessings be upon him, was continually full of
concern. He was constantly deep in thought. He had no rest, and would not speak without
a reason. He would be silent for long periods of time. He would begin conversations, and
end them clearly and distinctly and would speak in a way that combined many meanings
in few words. He spoke with excellence, and there was no excess in it, nor unnatural
brevity. He was gentle by nature and not coarse, nor was he contemptuous of anyone. He
would extol the favors he received, even when they were few and small. He never found
fault with them. He never criticized the food or drink that was prepared for him, nor did
he overly praise it. No one would stand against his anger when matters of the Lord’s truth
were opposed, until he had triumphed, but he would never get angry for his own sake, nor
would he ever seek to win such an argument. He would gesture with his whole palm, to
point. When he was astonished, he would make his palm face upwards. He used his hands
frequently as he spoke, and would strike his left palm with his right thumb. When he
would get angry, he would turn away and avert his gaze, and when he was full of joy he
would lower his eyes. Most of his laughing was as smiling; when he did laugh, it was not
loud, and he would show his teeth a bit like they were hailstones.”
5
Al-Hasan said, “I kept this report to myself, away from [my brother] Al-Husayn for
awhile, then I told it to him, but he had already heard it and found out even more. He had
asked our father [Ali] about the way the Prophet of God, peace be upon him, was at
home, when he went out in his assemblies, and about his way of living.” Al-Hasan left
nothing of this out.
Al-Husayn said, “I asked my father [Ali], may God be pleased with him, about how the
Prophet of God, peace be upon him, was at home.”
He [Ali] said, “He always asked permission to enter his home, from God, and those
within. When at home, he would divide his time into three parts, one for God, one for his
family, and one for himself. Then he would divide his own portion between himself and
the people. His elite companions would mostly share this time with him, and they would
convey his words to the common people. He would hold nothing back from them, neither
knowledge or worldly things. It was his way to prefer the people of excellence, according
to their merit in religious matters. Among the people there were those with a need, those
with two needs, and those with many needs. He would work with them, and he would
occupy them and the community in general with that which would improve their
situations. This he would do by asking about them and their needs, and informing them
what they ought to do. He would say, ‘Let the one who is present among you inform the
one who is absent, and bring to me the need of he who is unable to tell me himself. Truly,
the one who informs a person of authority of the need of one who is unable to convey it
himself, God will make firm his feet on the day of judgment.’ This was the kind of topic
mentioned in his presence, and he didn’t accept anything else from anyone [he didn’t like
meaningless conversation and liked to talk about how to help people].”
Ali then said, in the hadith of Sufyan Ibn Waki: “They would come as scouts [seeking
decisions or knowledge], and they would not go on their way until they had found what
they sought, and then they would leave as guides and learned people.”
I said [Husayn to his father Ali], “Tell me about his going out and how he acted outside.”
Ali said, “The Prophet of God, peace and blessings upon him, would hold his tongue
except in matters which concerned his companions. He would encourage affection and
concord between them and would say nothing to alienate one from another. He honored
the nobles of every people who would come to him and make them their leaders. He
would be wary around some people and on his guard against them [especially nomads],
but he would never withhold from anyone his open-faced friendliness and fine
personality. He would ask his companions about their situations, and he would ask people
about what was going on amongst them. He would approve of that which was good and
advocate it, and he would denounce that which was base and discourage it.
“Everything he did was in moderation, without excess or contrariness. He was not
thoughtless, out of fear that those who came to him would become unmindful or weary.
He was prepared for every situation in this world and the next. He didn’t fail to fulfill
what was right, and he didn’t overstep his authority in regards to those near him. The
most meritorious and excellent people to him were those whose advice was most
universal; the most significant of them to him were those most beneficial to others, and
the most helpful in helping others bear their burdens.”
6
Then Al-Husayn said, “Then I asked him [Ali] about his gatherings and about what he
did in them, and he said: “The Prophet of God, peace be upon him, did not sit down or
stand up without mentioning God, nor did he reserve for himself fixed places among the
people to be seated, and he forbade others also to reserve places for themselves
[especially in mosques and public gatherings]. When he would go to visit a group, he
would sit in the nearest available spot, and ordered that others follow this practice. He
would give those seated near him his full share of attention in such a way that no one
would think others had been given precedence over him. Whenever someone he would be
sitting with would tell him of his needs, he would bear with that person until that person
left him. When someone would ask him to solve a problem, he would not turn him away
without solving it for him, if possible, or saying a comforting word or a prayer for its
fulfillment. His cheerfulness and open personality were felt by all the people, and he
became like a father to them. They came to have the right of mercy and compassion from
him, as they were close, like the relation of parent and child, distinguished only by virtue
and devotion to God. And in another narrative, they became equals regarding their rights
in his eyes.
[Ali] said: “The Prophet of God, peace be upon him, was unfailingly cheerful, easy going
by nature, and mild mannered. He was neither crude nor coarse . He was not a clamorous
loudmouth, nor a repeater of obscenities. He was not one to find faults in others, nor did
he overly praise them either. He was unconcerned about what he did not want, and this
did not bother him. He allowed his soul no portion of three things – hypocrisy,
acquisitiveness, and that which did not concern him. He did not allow himself to engage
in three things regarding people – he would not criticize others, he would not revile
anyone, and he would not seek out others’ faults. He would speak of nothing unless he
hoped a reward from God for it. When he would talk, the ones sitting with him would be
so still and quiet, you would imagine birds were sitting on their heads. When he was
silent, they would talk, but not quarrel in his presence. When one of them would talk,
they would all listen attentively until he had finished. They would speak about a subject
that was brought up by the first to speak until they had finished with it. He would laugh at
what they laughed at, and he would be amazed by what amazed them. He was patient
with the stranger who had roughness in his speech. He would say, ‘Whenever you see
someone seeking to solve a problem, help him out.’ He did not seek praise, except to be
spoken of appropriately. He wouldn’t interrupt another’s speech unless it got excessive or
too long, then he would end it or get up to leave.”
7
Here ends the hadith of Sufyan IbnWaki. Through other narrators, Al-Hasan continues in
the words of his brother Al-Husayn. I said [to Ali], “What was the silence of the Prophet
of God [peace upon him] like?”
He said, “His silences were for four situations: forbearance, caution, estimation, and
contemplation. As for his estimation, it was to take an impartial study of events and listen
to the people in order to be just. As for his contemplation, it was about what was eternal
and what was transitory. His forbearance was part of his patience, he was not angered by
that which was provocative. His caution was for four reasons – taking good speech or
action into consideration so he might use it in an exemplary way; abjuring the ugly and
bad so it would be left alone; exerting his judgment to improve the situation of his
community; [and] establishing ways to maintain the good order of his community in
regard to this world and the next.”
The description is finished, with thanks and praise to God for His aid.

(top), Tomb of the Prophet, sws (bottom right), gates (bottom left), mihrab
The following is a description of the Rawdah in which the Messenger of Allah, may Allah praise
and venerate him, lies. In close proximity to his tomb lie the caliphs Abu Bakr and Omar, son of
Khattab, may Allah be pleased with them.
Urwa, the son of As-Zubayr, a companion of the Prophet, may Allah praise and venerate him,
mentioned that the tomb of the Prophet, may Allah praise and venerate him, lies in an alcove
whereas that of Abu Bakr is behind the Messenger of Allah, may Allah praise and venerate him,
whilst the tomb of Omar, son of Khattab lies at the feet of Abu Bakr. On the eastern side of the
alcove an empty space remains and it is narrated in the quotations of the Prophet, may Allah
praise and venerate him, that Prophet Jesus, son of Mary, peace be upon him, will be buried there.
Lady Ayesha, may Allah be pleased with her, said, “I saw three moons descend into my room. I
mentioned my vision to Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, who told me, 'O Ayesha, this
means that there will be three buried in your house and they are better than all the people of the
earth.’ When the Messenger of Allah, may Allah praise and venerate him and grant him peace,
passed away, he was buried in my room, whereupon Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him,
said to me, 'This is one your moons and he is the best of them, may Allah praise and venerate him
and grant him peace.”

Maqam of Imam Jazuli
His full name was Abu Abdullah Muhammad, son of Suleiman, son of Abi Bakr Al-
Jazuli Al-Simlali and was a descendant of Prophet Muhammad, praise and veneration be
upon him, via his grandson Hasan, son of Ali, may Allah be pleased with them.
Al Jazuli belonged to the Berber tribe of Jazula that settled in the Sus area of Morocco
which lies between the Atlantic ocean and the Atlas mountains.
The date of his death is uncertain, however it occurred between the years 869-873 AH as
he offered an obligatory prayer.
In the Encyclopedia of Islam, 1957 Leiden, it is reported that seventy-seven years after
his death his body was exhumed for reburial in Marrakesh and that his body had not
decomposed.

And if you see your ego controlling you,
And it comes to lead you into the Fire of Desires,
Banish its desires by continuous blessing,
There is nothing to compare with Dalail-i Hayrat
Be steadfast in your reading of Dalail-i Hayrat.
Read it to obtain your wishes,
Lights appear and blaze thereby,
O my brethren, it is never to be abandoned.
The Shaykh, the Imam, the Great Saint, the Renowned Pillar, the Sultan of Those who
are Near, and the Pillar of the Truthful, the Master of the Gnostics, the Possessor of Clear
Miracles and Abundant Secrets, Sayyidi Abu Abdullah Muhammad ibn Suleyman Al-
Jazuli, may Allah be pleased with him, said:
Praise be to Allah who has guided us to belief and to Islam, and blessings and peace be
upon Muhammad, His Prophet who has delivered us from worshipping statues and idols.
The subject of this Book is the remembrance to ask for blessings upon the Prophet, may
Allah praise and venerate him and grant him peace, and its benefits. We mention the
traditions without the chains of transmission in order to make it easier for the reader to
memorize them, this being one of the important essentials for whosoever seeks the
nearness of the Lord of lords.
I have named this Book “Guide to Good Deeds and and the Brilliant Burst of Light
in the Rememberance of Blessings on the Chosen Prophet”, desiring the pleasure of
Allah, the Exalted and love for His noble messenger, Muhammad, may abundant
blessings and peace of Allah be upon him.
Allah is the One responsible for enabling us to follow his way, and letting us love those
who are perfect, for He is Able to do this. There is no god except He, and there is no
good except His good, and He is the Best Protector and Best Helper, and there is neither
help nor power except through Allah the High, the Mighty.
The benefit of requesting praise upon the prophet, may Allah praise and venerate him and
grant him peace is: Allah, the Mighty, the Sublime said: “Allah and His angels praise and
venerate the Prophet. Believers, praise and venerate him and pronounce peace upon him
in abundance." Koran Chapter 33:56
12
And it is related that the messenger of Allah, may Allah praise and venerate him and
grant him peace, came to us with visible signs of good tidings upon his face. He said:
"Indeed, Gabriel, peace be upon him, said to me: ‘Are you not pleased, O Muhammad,
that whenever one of your nation asks Allah to praise you, Allah will praise him tenfold,
and that whenever one of your nation asks Allah to grant you peace, Allah will grant
peace tenfold.’"
And he said, may Allah praise and venerate him and grant him peace: "The nearest
person to me is the one who asks for blessings upon me the most.”
And he said, may Allah praise and venerate him and grant him peace: "Whosoever asks
for blessings upon me, angels will praise him for long as he asks, no matter whether the
time is short or long."
And he said, may Allah praise and venerate him and grant him peace: "A person is
considered a miser if, when I am mentioned in his presence, he fails to supplicate for
blessings upon me."
And he said, may Allah praise and venerate him and grant him peace: "Supplicate for
more blessings upon me on Friday.”
And he said, may Allah praise and venerate him and grant him peace: "Whosoever of my
nation asks for blessings upon me once, ten good deeds are written down for him and ten
sins are erased."
And he said, may Allah praise and venerate him and grant him peace: "Whosoever hears
the call to prayer and says, ‘O Allah, Lord of this perfect call and this established prayer,
grant Muhammad the nearest station, the pre-eminence, the exalted rank and raise him to
the most praised station which You have promised him,’1 my intercession for him will be
binding on the Day of Resurrection."
And he said, may Allah praise and venerate him and grant him peace: “For whosoever
asks for blessings upon me in a Book, the angels praise him for as long as my name is in
that Book.”
And Abu Suleiman Ad-Darani said: "Whosoever wishes to request something from
Allah, let him increase his asking for blessings upon the prophet, may Allah praise and
venerate him and grant him peace, and then he may ask Allah about his affair and then
seal his request by once more asking for blessings upon the prophet, may Allah praise
and venerate him and grant him peace, because Allah will accept the two requests for
blessings upon the prophet and this is more noble than whatever he asks for in between.”

A transliterated version of this dua: “Allahumma Rabba hadhihi da’wati tamma, wa salatil qa’ima, ati
Muhammadan al-wasilata wal fadilata wa darajatir rafi’atal ‘Aliyya, wab’athhu ya Rabbi al-maqamal
mahmudal ladhi wa’adtahu, warzuqna shafa’atahu yawmal qiyama, innaka la tukhliful mi’ad. (Wa
zawwajna manal huril ‘ayn.)” [Ed.]
13
And it is related that he said, may Allah praise and venerate him and grant him peace:
"Whosoever asks Allah one hundred times to praise me on a Friday will be forgiven the
sins of eighty years.”
And Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, said: "The Messenger of Allah, may
Allah praise and venerate him and grant him peace, said, ‘For whosoever asks for
blessings upon me there is a light on the Bridge (over Hell), and the people of light on the
Bridge will not be among the People of the Fire.”
And he said, may Allah praise and venerate him and grant him peace: "Whosoever
deliberately neglects to ask for blessings upon me has strayed from the path to the
Garden, because the route to the Garden is barred to the neglectful, whereas it is open for
whosoever asks for blessings upon me.”
It is related by Abdur Rahman ibn Awf, may Allah be pleased with him, that Prophet
Muhammad, may Allah praise and venerate him and grant him peace said: "Gabriel,
peace be upon be him, said, “O Muhammad, whenever anyone of your nation asks for
blessings upon you, seventy thousands angels praise him, and whosoever is blessed by
angels is one of the people of the Garden.”
And he said, may Allah praise and venerate him and grant him peace: "The more you ask
for the blessings upon me, the more you will have in the Garden."
It is related that he said, may Allah praise and venerate him and grant him peace:
"Whenever someone asks for blessings upon me, extolling my right, Allah, the Mighty,
the Sublime creates from His Words an angel with wings that stretch from the east to the
west, and with feet that are connected to the nearest part of the seventh earth and a bowed
neck beneath the Throne. Allah, the Mighty, the Sublime says to him, “Bless My
worshipper as he asks for blessings upon My Prophet” and thereupon the angel will
praise him until the Day of Resurrection."
It is related that he said, may Allah praise and venerate him and grant him peace: "There
will come to my pool on the Day of Resurrection nations whom I will only recognize on
account of their frequent asking for blessings upon me.”
It is related that he said, may Allah praise and venerate him and grant him peace:
"Whosoever supplicates to Allah for blessings upon me, Allah will praise him ten times,
and whosoever supplicates for blessings upon me ten times, Allah will praise him one
hundred times, and whosoever supplicates to Allah for blessings upon me one hundred
times Allah will praise him one thousand times, and whosoever supplicates to Allah for
blessings upon me one thousand times, Allah will prohibit the Fire to touch his body. His
word on any matter will be made to endure in this world and the next, and he will enter
the Garden on the Day of Resurrection at his request because his supplication for
blessings upon me will be a light for him on the Bridge (over Hell); a light which is
visible at a distance of five hundred years, and for every blessing he supplicated for me
Allah will grant him a palace in the Garden, regardless of how many.”
14
And Prophet Muhammad, may Allah praise and venerate him and grant him peace said:
"Whenever a worshipper supplicates for blessings upon me, his request leaves him
swiftly and passes over land and sea, through east and west, saying: ‘i am the blessing
upon Muhammad, the chosen one, the best of the creation of Allah, supplicated for by so
and so’ and everything supplicates for blessings upon me. A bird is created from these
blessings with seventy thousand wings, each of which has seventy thousand feathers.
Each feather has seventy thousand heads with seventy thousands faces. Each face has
seventy thousands mouths and in every mouth there are seventy thousand tongues. Each
tongue glorifies Allah, the Exalted in seventy thousand languages and Allah will then
write for him the reward for all of that."
Ali ibn Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him, said: "The Messenger of Allah, may
Allah praise and venerate him and grant him peace, said, ‘For whosoever asks Allah to
praise me one hundred times on a Friday, a light will come for him on the Day of
Resurrection, a light which, if it were to be divided among them, would be enough for the
whole of creation’.”
It is mentioned in the good tidings: "It is written on the leg of the Throne ‘Whosoever
yearns for Me, I am merciful to him. Whosoever asks Me, I will grant him his wish.
Whosoever draws near to Me, by asking for blessings upon My Beloved Muhammad, I
will forgive him, even if his sins were as plentiful as the foam on the surface of the
ocean’.”
And it is related by one of the companions, may Allah be pleased with them, "A beautiful
fragrance rises that reaches the clouds in the sky when a gathering supplicates for
blessings upon Muhammad, praise and veneration be upon him, and the angels say, ‘This
is a gathering in which blessings upon Muhammad, may Allah praise and venerate him
and grant him peace, are being requested’.”
Other reports mention that, "The gates of the heavens are opened for a believing
worshipper, male or female, who begins by asking for blessings upon Muhammad, and
the pavilions are opened as far as the Throne, and all the angels praise Muhammad, may
Allah praise and venerate him, and ask for forgiveness for that worshipper for as long as
Allah wishes.”
And he said, may Allah praise and venerate him and grant him peace, "Whosoever is
troubled by any matter should increase his asking for blessings upon me, and his
anxieties, sorrows and concerns will be removed, and his provision will increase and his
needs will be satisfied.”
And one of the righteous said, "A neigbor of mine who was a scribe, died. I saw him in a
vision and asked him how Allah had treated him. He replied, ‘He has forgiven me’. I
asked, ‘For what reason did He forgive you?’ and he replied, ‘Whenever I wrote the
name of Muhammad, may Allah praise and venerate him and grant him peace, in a Book,
I asked Allah to praise him and for this my Lord has given me what no eye has ever seen,
no ear has ever heard and what no mortal has ever imagined’.”
15
And it is related from Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, that he (Prophet
Muhammad), may Allah praise and venerate him and grant him peace, said, "None of you
truly believe until I am dearer to him than his own self, his wealth, his children, his
parents and all other people.”
And it is related in the quotation of Omar, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said to
Prophet Muhammad, may Allah praise and venerate him, "You are dearer to me, O
Messenger of Allah, than everything I possess except my own self which is within me.”
The Messenger of Allah, may Allah praise and venerate him and grant him peace,
replied: "You will not be a believer until I am dearer to you than your own self." Omar
replied, "By Him who revealed to you the Book, you are dearer to me than my own self.”
The Messenger of Allah, may Allah praise and venerate him, replied, "Omar, now your
faith is complete.”
And it was asked of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah praise and venerate him and
grant him peace. "When will I attain belief?" (In another version, "When will I attain true
belief?") He replied, “When you love Allah." It was said, “And when will I love Allah?"
He answered, “When you love His Messenger." Then it was asked, “And when will I
love His Messenger?" He replied, "When you follow his path, adhere to his way, love
what he loves and hate what he hates, befriend whom he befriends and oppose whom he
opposes – and people will be distinguished, one from another, in their disbelief according
to their hatred of me.”
Can there be belief for those who have no love for him?
Can there be belief for those who have no love for him?
Can there be belief for those who have no love for him?
It was said to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah praise and venerate him and grant him
peace, “We see believers who are humble and believers who are not humble. What is the
reason for this?" He replied, “It is because one finds his faith adorned with humility
whereas the other does not.” It was said, "How can we find such faith, or obtain it, or
earn it?" He replied, “By sincerely loving Allah.” It was asked, “How can the love of
Allah be found or earned?" He replied, “By loving His Messenger.” So seek the pleasure
of Allah and the pleasure of His Messenger by loving them.”
And it was said to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah praise and venerate him and grant
him peace, "Who are the family of Muhammad whom we are ordered to love and honor,
and treat with reverence?" He replied, “The people of purity and fidelity, who sincerely
believe in me.” It was said, “What are their signs?" He answered, “The traces of my love
are on every lover and their inner life is busy with remembering me and remembering
Allah" (In another version the words are, “Their signs are being addicted to remembering
me and constantly asking for blessings upon me.”)
16
It was said to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah praise and venerate him and grant him
peace, “Who is he that is strong in his love for you?" He replied, “The one who believes
in me without seeing me, for he is a believer in me through yearning and is sincere in his
love for me. A sign of this is that he desires a vision of me more than anything he owns
(in another version it reads, “…than all the gold in the world") This is a true believer in
me, whose love for me is true and sincere.”
It was said to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah praise and venerate him and grant him
peace, “Are you aware of those who ask for blessings upon you who are not present and
will come after you? What is their status?" He replied, “I hear the blessings of the people
who love me and I know them, as well as the blessings invoked by those who are not
present.”

HOW TO USE THIS BOOK
If you wish to recite this as part of a wird, you should begin recitation on a Monday, and
say one Hizb (section) each day. If you miss a day, you may make it up the next day if
you like, but it is also okay to pick up with the hizb for that day and continue.
The sections marked “Before Salawat” and “After Salawat” on the following pages are to
be recited every day before and after each hizb or section. It is also traditional to recite
the Asma ul-Husna (saying “jalla jallallahu” after each name) and the Names of the
Prophet (sws) before beginning a new recitation of Dalail-i Hayrat.
Example:
The next day (Tuesday) I could say #1 above and then skip #2 and #3 and go
directly to the second hisb, and so on for the rest of the week. Then on the following
Monday, I would say #1, recite the final, 8th hisb, and then I would have the option to say
the 1st hisb immediately to open the next week OR I could proceed to #5 and then start
over again from the beginning 1,2,3 etc…
If you are reciting one khatam, or halves, thirds, or quarters, you would follow the
same basic pattern, varying only the length of time you spend at #4.
