In the translation of the meanings of the Qur'an in Surah 33 entitled Al-Ahzab (The Confederates), ayah (verse) 56:

Allah and His angels send prayers on the Prophet: O ye that believe! Send ye prayers on him, and salute him with all respect. —Al-Ahzab

The Islamic scholar, ibn Kathir, titled the section in his tafsir (i.e., explanation of the Qur'an), the Tafsir ibn Kathir, regarding this verse, The Command to say Salah upon the Prophet (Muhammad).

This point is further founded in the saying by Muhammad that,

The miser is the one in whose presence I am mentioned, then he does not send the Salah upon me. —Muhammad

This was recorded by Ahmad ibn Hanbal in his Musnad.

Famous quotes containing the words evidence and/or prayers:

    “There is evidence that all too many people are approaching parenthood with a dangerous lack of knowledge and skill. The result is that many children are losing out on what ought to be an undeniable right—the right to have parents who know how to be good parents, parents skilled in the art of “parenting.””
    —T. H. Bell (20th century)

    “Meantime the education of the general mind never stops. The reveries of the true and simple are prophetic. What the tender poetic youth dreams, and prays, and paints today, but shuns the ridicule of saying aloud, shall presently be the resolutions of public bodies, then shall be carried as grievance and bill of rights through conflict and war, and then shall be triumphant law and establishment for a hundred years, until it gives place, in turn, to new prayers and pictures.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
