AWord aboutthe LigaturesforArabicInvocations

Tmam Yahya Ibn Sharaf al-Nawaw! (d.6y6H) - - said, “It is highly
JLrecommended to invoke Allah’s pleasure and mercy upon the
Companions and the tabiin and those that came after them from the
Scholars, righteous worshippers and the rest of the people of excellence.
So it is said: (may Allah be pleased with him), or &\ij£ (may Allah
have mercy upon him), or the likes of that.
As for what some of the Scholars have said that the statement, is
specific to the Companions and that for others it is only to be said,
”, then the affair is not as they say and it there is no agreement
upon it. Rather, what is correct according to the majority of the Scholars
is that it is highly recommended, and the proofs for that are too many to
enumerate.”1
Imam Muhammad Ibn Salih al-'Uthaymln (d.i42iH) - - said
concerning the statement, “The best of that which has been
stated about it is what was mentioned by Abu al-‘Aliyah (d.9oH) -iuitosj -
that the saldh of Allah upon His Prophet is Allah’s praise for him in the
highest gathering of Angels.”2,
1 Refer to al-Adbkar (p. 118) of al-Nawawi.
1 Refer to Shark al-Mumti (3/164) of al-'Uthaymln.
