INCREASING SALAWAT IN DUA’A
. قَالَ أُبَىٌّ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أُكْثِرُ الصَّلاَةَ عَلَيْكَ فَكَمْ أَجْعَلُ لَكَ مِنْ صَلاَتِي فَقَالَ " مَا شِئْتَ " . قَالَ قُلْتُ الرُّبُعَ . قَالَ " مَا شِئْتَ فَإِنْ زِدْتَ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ " . قُلْتُ النِّصْفَ . قَالَ " مَا شِئْتَ فَإِنْ زِدْتَ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ " . قَالَ قُلْتُ فَالثُّلُثَيْنِ . قَالَ " مَا شِئْتَ فَإِنْ زِدْتَ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ " . قُلْتُ أَجْعَلُ لَكَ صَلاَتِي كُلَّهَا . قَالَ " إِذًا تُكْفَى هَمَّكَ وَيُغْفَرُ لَكَ ذَنْبُكَ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ .
At-Tufail bin Ubayy bin Ka'b narrated from his father who said:
Ubayy said: "I said, 'O Messenger of Allah! Indeed I wish to increase my Salat for you. How much of my Salat should I make for you?' He said: 'As you wish.' I said, 'One-fourth?' He said, 'As you wish. But if you add more it would be better for you.' I said: 'Then half?' He said, 'As you wish. And if you add more it would be better [for you].’ I said, 'Then two-thirds?’ He said, 'As you wish, but if you add more it would be better for you.' I said, 'Should I make all of my Salat for you?' He said, 'Then your problems would be solved and your sins would be forgiven.'"

Lessons:
1. We are enjoined to follow in the footsteps of the Prophet’s (ﷺ) Companions.
2. Ubayy ibn Kaab was among the Prophet’s (ﷺ) Companions who would make abundant salawat (salutations upon the Prophet) every day.
3. To include as many salawat as possible upon the Prophet (ﷺ) is part of a Mukmin’s etiquette in making dua’a.
4. The number of salawat is not defined – the more, the better.
5. When a Mukmin’s dua’a is wholly formed by salawat, all his concerns will be taken care of and all his sins (minor sins) will be forgiven.
Let us all increase salawat upon the Prophet (ﷺ) in our dua’a!
