15)  Sending Prayers Upon the Prophet (ﷺ) is an Essential Means of Instilling Love in the Servant’s Heart for the Messenger of God (ﷺ) and It is in Turn a Means of Evoking the Prophet’s (PBUH) Love for their Sender

Al-Tirmidhī relates on the authority of Ibn Masʿūd (R) saying, “The Messenger of God (ﷺ) said, ‘The most worthy people of me on the Day of Judgment are those who used to send the most prayers upon me.’”  Ibn Ḥibbān has also transmitted this in his Sahih.

Thus the most worthy people of his (ﷺ) love, nearness, and his exclusive intercession are those who used to send the most prayers upon him.
