وَفِي حَدِيثِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَهُ إِنَّ جِبْرِيلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ قَالَ لِي أَلَا أُبَشِّرُكَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَقُولُ لَكَ مَنْ صَلَّى عَلَيْكَ صَلَّيْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَمَنْ سَلَّمَ عَلَيْكَ سَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ زَادَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ فَسَجَدْتُ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ شُكْرًا
In the hadith of Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him), it is mentioned that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: Indeed, Jibreel (peace be upon him) said to me: Shall I not give you glad tidings that Allah, the Exalted, has said to you: Whoever sends blessings upon you, I will send mercy upon him, and whoever prays for peace for you, I will send peace upon him. In another narration, it is mentioned: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I prostrated to Allah, the Exalted, in gratitude.
