Whoever asks from Allah al-Salat for the Holy Prophet and his family one hundred times, Allah and His angels will do the same for him one thousand times. Do you not hear the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, “It is He who forgives you and His angels pray for you so that He will take you out of darkness into light. Allah is All-Merciful to believers.’” (33:43)
