The one who remembers [1] the truth [2] is the one who is remembered [3] by the truth [2].

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. May Allah bless our master and lord Muhammad, his family, and his companions, and grant them abundant peace. Praise be to Allah, who adorned the heaven of remembrances with blessings upon the chosen Prophet, and from the heaven of their lights He brought forth the rising places of suns and moons, and made them a means, and from the bride of the blossoms of their fragrance He brought forth the scent of perfume and flowers, and made them an invincible means for fulfilling needs, a cure for ailments ¹, and an erasure of sins and burdens. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah alone, the Oft-Forgiving, and I bear witness that our master and lord Muhammad is His servant and Messenger, the treasure of storage ², sent with glad tidings and warnings to every sinner and righteous one. May Allah bless him, his family, and his companions with a blessing of perpetual repetition, enduring with the endurance of night and day, evening and morning, and grant them abundant peace. To proceed: Since blessing upon the most noble Prophet and the venerated Messenger (may Allah bless him and grant him peace, honor, generosity, glory, and greatness, and pour upon him from the treasuries of His bounty and favor) is among the most honorable acts of devotion, the best of righteous deeds, and the most hopeful for acceptance of good deeds from the Lord of the earth and heavens—Allah commanded creation to do it and urged them towards it, and the Noble Qur'an came with it as an honor for our Prophet Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) and as a veneration. Allah the Exalted said: "Indeed, Allah and His angels bless the Prophet; O you who have believed, bless him and grant him abundant peace." ³ And there has come regarding that ⁴ from the noble hadiths and great traditions what increases good deeds, multiplies reward, erases sins, and raises ranks and stations. So I sought help from Allah, glorified be He, to compose a prayer of blessing upon the best of mankind—upon him be the best of blessings and the purest peace—which would be among the greatest treasures with him on the day when secrets are tested, containing a weighty branch of knowledge and a great door of etiquette, comprising wondrous sentences and strange fragments concerning the virtue of blessing him (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), the virtue of his healing love, his sufficient sanctity, his noble lineage, his pure ancestry, his manifest names, his pure epithets, his lofty attributes, his sublime and exalted qualities, his unique characteristics, his primordial gifts, what the noble prophets attained from his blessings (peace be upon him), the elevation of his rank and majesty, his favor and station, his perfect virtues and comprehensive merits, his noble character and gentle traits, his beautiful attributes and manifest lofty qualities, his merits and advantages, the honor of his station and his highness, the Night Journey and Ascension, the rising of his radiant light, his essential aspirations ⁵ and the elevation of his transmitted stations, what his noble name was written upon (upon him be the best of blessings and peace), his reports of the unseen, his truthful transmitted sayings, his unique characteristics, his praiseworthy states, what Allah manifested at his hands of miracles breaking customs, the transmission of his dazzling light from a pure loin to a pure womb, his appearance and signs, his birth and suckling, his conclusive miracles and brilliant proofs, his accepted supplications and requested gifts, Allah's protection of him from all who sought him harm and opposed him, his commanded orders and forbidden prohibitions, his truthful hadiths and surpassing wisdoms, concise statements on some of his mighty attributes, his complete blessings and universal mercy ⁶ (may Allah bless him and grant him peace). I ask from Allah, along with what the blessed prayer includes of his wondrous excellences, his lofty ranks, his humility and modesty, his life and suckling, his asceticism and contentment, his piety and worship, the proof of his mission, the merits of his community, his justice and judgment, his generosity and forbearance, his virtue and modesty, his giving and munificence, his strength and courage, his eloquence and brilliance, his might and perfection, his status and beauty, the goodness of his inner self, the integrity of his path, his guidance for mankind, his leading to Islam, and other such perfect attributes and comprehensive qualities (may Allah bless him and grant him peace). I ask from Allah for guidance and assistance, and He is the One sought for help, glorified be He. So I began what I intended and composed from that what I desired and wanted, and I abridged it with the abridgment of a preacher, to make its memorization easy for the memorizer. It became a reminder for Islam concerning blessing upon the best of mankind, and voices were raised with it in gatherings, and by it devils and satans ⁷ were driven away. People received it with acceptance, and by Allah's praise I attained the request and the hoped-for. It was repeated in the ears of creatures, all of them yearning for the Beloved, hoping for his intercession on the day the Hour is established. So people desired the completion of a protective prayer and an increase in number that grows, due to his saying (peace be upon him) informing about himself: "Whoever blesses me with a single blessing, Allah blesses him ten times." And with the abundance of number and its mention, the reward becomes great, by the praise of Allah the Exalted and His thanks. And whenever the servant increases and repeats, Allah's goodness is more pleasant and abundant, so that the reward may be great for them with the Generous Bestower. So my excessive love for the Arab Prophet moved me, and the winds of longing played with me, and ecstasy made me a speaker of tears, silent of eyelids. The overwhelming yearning shook me as the moist branch is shaken in the lush garden. I vowed by Him who split my sight and hearing that I would exert my utmost in that. So I answered their call and fulfilled their desire, though I am of little merchandise, not skilled in this craft. But the Generous One accepts from a presumptuous one, and he who relies on Him ⁸ is not disappointed. I seek from Allah guidance, and He is the Praiseworthy Protector. I proposed from that a sufficient amount, healing for the ill. So I collected a small portion of his virtues and plunged into this sea whose shore cannot be encompassed. The goal was completed by the praise of Allah, glorified be He, and it came in the most perfect manner desired by mankind, of the desired measure and praise that no creature can fully enumerate. So whoever comes across this composition and examines this work carefully should correct the flaw and pardon the slip, for I am known for incapacity, and the like of me is not infallible from error. The author stumbles, and the critic is insightful and rewarded. But this is for the discerning knights, the knowers of this matter. We seek refuge in the light of Allah's face and the perfection of Allah's Messenger from an envier who follows his harm, or an ignorant who follows his whim, or a denier who knows the truth yet transgresses it. It is known necessarily that whoever is ignorant of something opposes it. There is no power or strength except with Allah. The aim of this is to introduce his realities and what he was specially endowed with of virtues from his Sender and Creator, for the composition ⁹ in its entirety came out as a magnification of his status and an introduction to his station with his Lord and his rank. I made it rhymed in the style of 'ajiz and sadr ¹⁰, which the clever one knows."

The composition, which I wove upon a novel method, with a lofty arrangement, complete meter, and rhymed prose ¹¹. I extracted the hadiths contained therein from nearly one hundred thousand hadiths, and I refined and derived them according to the condition I set, with the chains of transmission omitted. From God I hope for guidance, even though this path is difficult and far-reaching. But His knowledge, glory be to Him, of the sincerity of intention and pure love for the Best of Creation ¹²—so may He, glory be to Him, bestow upon us His grace, guide us by His favor to follow His path. I examined this and compiled it from every book I narrated, or that came into my hand which I perused and read, among those authored by the authors, composed by the compilers, and extracted by the hadith scholars in their books of chains, traditions, narrations, reports, discourses, and poems. Thus, by the praise of God, the desired goal was completed, and it came in the most perfect meaning and finest style. (8) The soul attained what it had hoped for and desired, with sincerity of intention—and every person shall have what he intended—aiming thereby at brevity, avoiding prolixity and repetition. If any of that occurs, it is only due to forgetfulness, and I hope it will be regarded with an eye of indulgence and acceptance. Otherwise, who can attain His attributes, with which God praised Him in the clear verses of His Book? But the intent thereby is to seek beneficence from the Chosen of the Merciful ¹³. For he who praises a generous one and seeks a great one never fails. How much more so with the Best of Creation, who was given absolute perfection? And I named it: 'Tanbih al-Anam fi Bayan 'Uluww Nabiyyina Muhammad' ¹⁴—upon him be the best of prayers and purest peace—and sometimes I also named it: 'Shifa' al-Asqam wa Mahw al-Atham fi al-Salat 'ala Khayr al-Anam' ¹⁵. Even if they agree in meaning, the intent is abundance of remembrance and excellence of praise. Many of them are not devoid of a hadith from him, upon him be prayer and peace, either explicitly or in meaning, or as a tradition ¹⁶ attributed to some Companion or from the people of knowledge—may God be pleased with them all. Sometimes, at the end of the first prayer formula ¹⁷, there occurs something other than the meaning (9) that is in the beginning of the second prayer formula, or vice versa, due to the necessity of rhymed prose where it is not in its proper place, so that the entire prayer formula occurs in a section without its meaning in reason and transmitted tradition—that is a lapse during its writing, but it has no effect because it occurs outside its proper context, or it may be in some places from the additions of appendices. Since the meaning is established in His attributes and perfection—may God's prayers and peace be upon him and his family—all that is excusable, and in each of these, God willing, there is a valid aspect. We only intended to divide them into chapters and sections to facilitate their reception by the reader and listener, and thereby to know what the blessed prayer formula contains of the immense rank of the Intercessor and Advocate ¹⁸—may God bless him and grant him peace, and his family and companions, filling mouths and ears. Whoever adheres to a prayer formula from them for a matter that corresponds to the prayer formula in meaning will attain, by God's power, his hopes. I have tested this repeatedly and saw secrets and effects therein. I learned some of them in a dream where a speaker said to me: 'It is such and such.' It also happened that I composed some of them in verse. I also saw in a dream during the period (10) in which I was composing the aforementioned prayer formula, as if I were riding a mule, wanting to catch up with a group who had preceded me for a matter they were seeking. All the mules were behind them, so I urged it on, and it responded. Then a man stopped it by its bridle and prevented me from catching up with those mentioned. That distressed me. Then a man of apparent goodness and righteousness, of fine appearance, rebuked him and rescued me from his hand, saying to him: 'Leave him, for God has forgiven him and granted his intercession for his family'—or he said: 'for the people of doubt from me'—and removed his burden. I awoke joyful and glad, and it occurred to me that the man who rescued me from the hand of the one mentioned and said that statement was 'Ali ibn Abi Talib—may God be pleased with him. So I knew that this was due to the blessing of my service to the Best of Creation—upon him be the best of prayers and peace. Then after a while, I saw him—may God bless him and grant him peace—in a dream in a room of my house, and the room was illuminated by the light of his noble face. I said: 'Prayer and peace be upon you, O Messenger of God' three times. 'I am under your protection and hope for your intercession.' He took my hand and kissed me, smiling, and said: 'Yes, by God, yes, by God.' Then a man from our deceased neighbors (11) said: 'Are you not among the servants of the praisers?' I said to him: 'How do you know this?' He said to me: 'Yes, by God, you were mentioned thereby in heaven.' And he—may God bless him and grant him peace—was silent, laughing. I awoke joyful and said concerning that: I saw the Chosen One ¹⁹ in a dream truly, * in my house, taking my right hand. He kissed me and gave me glad tidings, saying: * 'You will attain intercession by oath.' Then after that, I saw my father—may God Almighty have mercy on him—in a dream, and he was extremely joyful and happy with me. I said: 'By God, have I benefited you with something?' He said to me: 'By God Almighty, you have benefited me.' I said to him: 'With what?' He said to me: 'By your composition of prayers upon the Prophet—may God bless him and grant him peace.' I said to him: 'Who informed you of it?' He said: 'You were mentioned thereby, by God, in the Highest Assembly ²⁰.' And other such good visions. May God make this purely for His noble face, a means near Him for closeness to Him and looking upon Him in the Garden of Bliss, and a means of success, salvation, and entering under the protection of the Intercessor (12) for the sinners. Indeed, He is the Guardian of that and the One able to do it. There is no power nor strength except through God, the Most High, the Almighty. Chapter on the Virtue of Prayers upon the Prophet—may God bless him and grant him peace—and his Honor, Generosity, Glory, and Magnificence. In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. And may God bless our Master Muhammad and his family. God magnified the rank of Muhammad's station ²¹ * and granted him immense favor near Him. In the clear Revelation He said to His creation: * 'Send blessings upon him and greet him with peace.' ²² O God, bless and grant peace to our Master and Patron Muhammad and to the family of our Master Muhammad, to the number of Your known things and the multiples thereof, to that number, and grant peace likewise.
