Salawat Imam Shafi`i
AbdAllah al-Hakam said, “I saw Imam ash-Shafi`i in my dream and asked him, ‘What has Allah done with you?’” and he replied, “He poured His Mercy on me, forgave me and decorated Paradise for me, which came to me as a bride adorned with all her ornaments and decorations for her husband. They showered me with angels and heavenly ornaments like they throw (rose petals) over the bride and groom in dunya.” I asked him, “How did you attain this level, what did you do?” He said, “Someone told me to recite a specific salawat, which I did.” Recite this salawat to enter Paradise without questioning:
Allahumma sallallahu `ala Muhammadin `adada maa zhakarahu ‘zh-zhaakiroon wa ghafala `an zhikrihi ‘l-ghaafiloon.
Oh Allah! Bestow Your Mercy and Blessings upon Muhammad whenever he is remembered, and bestow Your Mercy and Blessings upon Muhammad whenever he is not remembered.
