Ṣalāh, Recitation, Sharīʽah Rulings, Benefits, Drawbacks of Not RecitingAbstract
Muslims who pray five-time daily prayers recite ṣalāh upon the Prophet (ﷺ) regularly. However, many of them neglect or do not give importance to its recitation outside the prayer. The reason of this negligence primarily goes back to their ignorance about the numerous benefits of this recitation and disadvantages of not reciting it. Using the descriptive and analytical methods and based on the Qur’ānic verses, aḥādīth of the Prophet peace be upon him (ﷺ) and opinions of Muslim scholars, this paper will highlight the rulings of the recitation of ṣalāh upon the Prophet (ﷺ) inside and outside the prayer. Likewise, it will focus on the benefits of this recitation and disadvantages of not reciting it. This paper concludes that the preferable view about the recitation of ṣalāh inside the prayer is that it is sunnah mu’akkadah; and the preferable view about its recitation outside the prayer is that it is obligatory after each hearing of the name or mention of the Prophet (ﷺ), and it is recommended to recite it as much as possible without any specific limit.
