“HUZOOR TAK HAMARA SALAAM ZAROOR POHCHANA”
(CONVEY MY SALAAM TO PROPHET MUHAMMAD (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam))
…. This is what I was being requested by many when I was leaving for Hajj a few years back.
I’m sure many of us find ourselves either on one of the sides. Either we are the ones requesting the same to the person going for Hajj, or we are the one to whom people are requesting.
Don’t we know that anyone can send Salaams upon the Prophet Muhammad (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) wherever he is and that Allaah has guaranteed that this salaam will be conveyed by the Angels whom He has appointed for this task.
Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) said:
“Allaah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) has Angels who travel around on Earth conveying to me the Salams of my Ummah.'"
[Sunan an Nasa’I, Vol. 2, Book of Forgetfulness (In Prayer), Hadith No. 1282]
Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) also said,
“Do not make your houses graves, and do not make my grave a place of festivity. But invoke blessings on me, for your blessings reach me wherever you may be.”
[Sunan Abu Dawood, Kitab Al-Manasik Wa'l-Hajj, Hadith No. 2042]
So based on this we understand that whoever sends salaams upon the Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam), in any place, his salaam will reach him for sure.
The best part here is that in this case one is himself sending the Salaams personally at his leisure, from his home or his workplace, and he knows for sure that his Salaams would reach Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) for sure.
Compare this with you asking the one who is going to visit Madeenah to convey Salaams to the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam), when you do not know whether he will convey it or not, or whether the person will remember or forget?
So send Salaams from wherever you are and it will reach him faster and more reliably than via the one going for Hajj.
