عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ صَلُّوا عَلَيَّ فَإِنَّهَا زَكَاةٌ لَكُمْ وَاسْأَلُوا اللَّهَ لِيَ الْوَسِيلَةَ فَإِنَّهَا دَرَجَةٌ فِي أَعْلَى الْجَنَّةِ لَا يَنَالُهَا إِلَّا رَجُلٌ وَأَرْجُو أَنْ أَكُونَ أَنَا هُوَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: Send blessings upon me, for indeed it is a means of purification for you, and ask Allah the Exalted to grant me al-Wasilah, for it is the highest rank in Paradise. Only one person will attain it, and I hope that I will be that person.
