As Salat literally means ADDUĀH.
That is the most frequent use of it, save the Five daily prayers which has a specific form of carrying it out..
The prophet was reported to have said:
Oh Allah have mercy upon the household of Abu Aufā...
It connotes a prayer for them..
A jahiliyyah poet says ;
إذا ما غضبنا غضبة مضرية ##
هتكنا حجاب الخوف أو قطرت دما
Whenever we get angry severely, we destroy without fear or blood will be
إذا ما أعرنا سيدا من قبيلة ##
ذرى منبر صلى علينا وسلما
Whenever we assign a leader to a tribe as soon as he ascend the puppet he great us and pray for us.
Allah SWA enjoins the believing Muslims to engage in saying SALAWĀT (Prayers)
إن الله وملائكته يصلون على النبي يا أيها الذين آمنوا صلوا عليه وسلموا تسليما
Most certainly, Allah and His angels engages in sending prayers (SALAWĀT) to the prophet - Muhammad
And Allah promised that when we do this assignment in which Allah Himself partake on as against other worships, He will also say the prayer for us. He said :
هو الذى يصلى عليكم وملائكته
He - Allah - is the One that says prayer (mercy) for you (Mankind) and His angels in other to bring you out of darkness to light , and Allah is merciful to the believers.
And the prophet SAW was reported to have mentioned in
ﺮﻭﻯ ﻣﺴﻠﻢ (408 ) ﻋَﻦْ ﺃَﺑِﻲ ﻫُﺮَﻳْﺮَﺓَ، ﺃَﻥَّ ﺭَﺳُﻮﻝَ ﺍﻟﻠﻪِ ﺻَﻠَّﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪُ ﻋَﻠَﻴْﻪِ ﻭَﺳَﻠَّﻢَ ﻗَﺎﻝَ :
Muslim from Abu Hurairah that the prophet SAW said :
" He who says a single Salāt upon me Allah will say ten to him ".
ﻭﻗﻮﻟﻪ : « ﻭﻣﻦ ﺻﻠﻰ ﻋﻠﻲ ﻋﺸﺮ ﻣﺮﺍﺕ ﺻﻠﻰ
And again: " whoever says ten Salawāt upon me Allah will say 100 to him ".

At-tabraniyy in Jamiul Kabir and Sageer, from Anass Bn Malik that the prophet SAW said:
"Whoever says one salāt upon me Allah will say ten to him, and whoever says ten Salawāt upon me Allah will say 100 to him and whoever says 100 Salawāt upon me Allah will write in between
So when the companions learnt about the commandment of Allah to say Salawāt upon his prophet they ran to him seeking to know what
The Prophet SAW answer by saying the famous salatul Ibrahim
عن ﻛﻌﺐ ﺑﻦ ﻋﺠﺮﺓ ﺭﺿﻲ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻨﻪ ﻗﻴﻞ ﻳﺎ ﺭﺳﻮﻝ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﺃﻣﺎ ﺍﻟﺴﻼﻡ ﻋﻠﻴﻚ ﻓﻘﺪ ﻋﺮﻓﻨﺎﻩ
From Ka'ab bn Ujra may Allah be pleased with him said , it was said to the prophet SAW; as for Salutations (السلام) we have known it for long but how about the salāt upon you ? the prophet SAW said: Say Oh Allah say a Salāt upon Muhammad SAW and his

Note the narration shows :
كما صليت على آل إبراهيم ....كما باركت على آل إبراهيم
Al-Imam An Nasai and Ibn mājah narrated the hadith by the addition

Imam Ahmad said: I read to Abdur Rahmān ; Malik from Abdullah bn Abu bakr from his Father, from Amr bn Salim that he said: Abu Hameed As Saeediyy informed that
Say ; Oh Allah say a salat upon Muhammad, his wives and progeny, as you have said it upon the household if Ibrahim and bless Muhammad SAW, his wives and progeny, as you have blessed the household of
After learning the four various type of salatul Ibrahimiyyah , the companions went ahead to carry on with the salawat as thought, and amongst them came other forms of salāt not directly recited by the prophet and never
ﻋﻦ ﻋﺒﺪ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﺑﻦ ﻣﺴﻌﻮﺩ ، ﺭﺿﻲ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻨﻪ ، ﻗﺎﻝ: ﺇﺫﺍ ﺻﻠﻴﺘﻢ ﻋﻠﻰ ﺭﺳﻮﻝ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ ﻓﺄﺣﺴﻨﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﺼﻼﺓ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻓﺈﻧﻜﻢ ﻻ ﺗﺪﺭﻭﻥ ﻟﻌﻞ ﺫﻟﻚ ﻳﻌﺮﺽ
From Ibn Mas'ud RA who said : whenever you send salawāt to the prophet SAW say it in the good form, perhaps the
اللهم اجعل صلواتك ورحمتك وبركاتك على سيد المرسلين .......
Imam Aliy has a broader one which has some of the words of the SALATUL FĀTIHI which is our centre of discussion today...
A mawquf hadith narrated from Saeed bn Mansoor and Zaid bn Al- Habbab and Yazid Bn Haroon all from Nuh bn Qais that Salamata Al-kindiyyu told us that Aliy RA use to teach the following salat
ﺍﻟﻠﻬﻢ ﺩﺍﺣﻲ ﺍﻟﻤﺪﺣﻮﺍﺕ ﻭﺑﺎﺭﺉ ﺍﻟﻤﺴﻤﻮﻛﺎﺕ
The both hadith from Abdullahi Ibn Mas'ud RA and Aliy RA depicts that the prophet only thought the Companions a format on how to say your Salawāt to him.
Assalat here means Addu'a as we have explained, so it only take one who doesn't want
Again, the prophet SAW was also reported to have said that after the Adhān to prayer is called :
سلوا لى الوسيلة
Pray for means (to intercede)...,
That's after the Adhan as a Muslim who hear the adhān
اللهم رب هذه دعوة تامة وصلاة قائمة آت محمد الوسيلة والفضيلة والدرجة الرفيعة وابعثه المقام المحمود الذى وعدته....
And if any one say a salat and ask for the Wasilah for the prophet as directed by him those fuddy duddy will still tell you its not accepted
Now back to Salatul Fatih, it recites thus :
اللهم صل على سيدنا محمد الفاتح لما أغلق والخاتم لما سبق ناصر الحق بالحق والهادى إلى صراطك المستقيم وعلى آله حق قدره ومقداره العظيم.
Meaning :
If you look at it again you can easily draw a similarly between this Salāt and that of Sayyiduna Aliy RA
Salatul Fatih is a standout Salat which has faced criticism from many so called scholars whom hates the personality it was first heard from ..
See books of Sufism and non sufist while making commentary about Salatul Fatih.
Before you start to confuse yourself
The answer is YES , why ? Because the Adhan we call today was taught to a companion in his dream and Umar Bn Al Khattab affirmed he also saw the same dream then the prophet direct them to teach Bilal the Adhan
The answer is YES , why ? Because the Adhan we call today was taught to a companion in his dream and Umar Bn Al Khattab affirmed he also saw the same dream then the prophet
Now Adhan is gotten from a dream same as Salatul Fatih, if your insinuation that Salatul Fatih is not accepted by Allah simply because it was gotten from a dream then you should as well condemn the Adhan
May Allah save us from hypocrisy..
And to further confirm the validity of Salatul Fatih, Sheikh Ahmad Tijani RA was taught the salāt by the prophet in a wake mode not dream
Does this have bases in Islam ?
Q10 vs 62
ﺃﻻ ﺇﻥ ﺃﻭﻟﻴﺎﺀ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﻻ ﺧﻮﻑ ﻋﻠﻴﻬﻢ ﻭﻻ ﻫﻢ ﻳﺤﺰﻧﻮﻥ ( 62 )
Nay ! The friends of Allah knows no fear nor sadness
ﺍﻟﺬﻳﻦ ﺁﻣﻨﻮﺍ ﻭﻛﺎﻧﻮﺍ ﻳﺘﻘﻮﻥ ( 63 )
(They are) those who believe

They have Al-bushrah in the life here on earth and the hereafter, there is no change to the decree of
The prophet SAW was asked the meaning of Al-bushrah , he said : its a good dream which a pious servant of Allah sees or another person sees for him.

ﻓﻘﺎﻝ : " ﻟﻘﺪ ﺳﺄﻟﺘﻨﻲ ﻋﻦ ﺷﻲﺀ ﻣﺎ ﺳﺄﻟﻨﻲ ﻋﻨﻪ ﺃﺣﺪ ﻣﻦ ﺃﻣﺘﻲ -
Imam Ahmad from Ubadatah bn Sāmit that he asked the prophet SAW saying: Oh prophet of Allah please tell the meaning of the saying of Allah لهم البشرى
ﻭﻛﺬﺍ ﺭﻭﺍﻩ ﺃﺑﻮ ﺩﺍﻭﺩ ﺍﻟﻄﻴﺎﻟﺴﻲ ، ﻋﻦ ﻋﻤﺮﺍﻥ ﺍﻟﻘﻄﺎﻥ ، ﻋﻦ ﻳﺤﻴﻰ ﺑﻦ ﺃﺑﻲ
Abu Dawood Ad dayalusi also narrated it from Imrān Al-Qattan from Yahaya bn Abiy katheer ....
And AL-Auzaiih from Yahaya bn Abi Katheer ...
ﺣﺪﺛﻨﺎ ﺃﺑﻮ ﺍﻟﻴﻤﺎﻥ ﺃﺧﺒﺮﻧﺎ ﺷﻌﻴﺐ ﻋﻦ ﺍﻟﺰﻫﺮﻱ ﺣﺪﺛﻨﻲ ﺳﻌﻴﺪ ﺑﻦ ﺍﻟﻤﺴﻴﺐ
Abul yaman told us, Shuaib AZ zuhuri informed us, Saeed
I heard the prophet SAW, saying: Nothing is left of prophethood (after me) save Al-mubashirat, they asked ; what is Al-mubashirāt ?
He said : a righteous dream
And Sheikh Tijani as we mentioned said to have learnt the Salāt
YES ...
see Al-Bukhari, Muslim, Ibn Majah and the rest ....:
عن ﺃﺑﻲ ﻫﺮﻳﺮﺓ ﻗﺎﻝ : ﻗﺎﻝ ﺭﺳﻮﻝ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﷺ: «ﻣﻦ ﺭﺁﻧﻲ ﻓﻲ ﺍﻟﻤﻨﺎﻡ ﻓﺴﻴﺮﺍﻧﻲ ﻓﻲ ﺍﻟﻴﻘﻈﺔ - ﺃﻭ ﻛﺄﻧﻤﺎ ﺭﺁﻧﻲ ﻓﻲ ﺍﻟﻴﻘﻈﺔ
From Abi Hurairah said: the prophet SAW said:
" Whoever sees me in his dream shall see in a wake mode, or is like he saw me in a wake mode, for the devil can never copy my image.
ﻣﺘﻔﻖ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ.
Bukhari and Muslim
In summary, Salāt upon the prophet comes in different mode, because the word itself means prayer.
We have just seen different type of salawat from above now, and that of ALIY RA is a very perfect reference for Salatul Fatih..
اللهم صل على محمد
محمد رسول الله .....سورة القتال
وآمنوا بما نزل على محمد ....سورة محمد 2
قال رسول الله ص : آتى أبواب الجنة يوم القيامة فيقول الخازن من أنت فأقول محمد ، فيقول بك أمرت ألا أفتح لأحد قبلك
I will come to the doors of Paradise on judgement day, and the guard will say , who are you ? I will say Muhammad, he will say you are the
والخاتم لم سبق.......
ما كان محمد أبا أحد من رجالكم ولكن رسول الله وخاتم النبيين....سورة الأحزاب 40
ناصر الحق بالحق والهادى إلى صراطك المستقيم
وإنك لتهدى إلى صراط المستقيم ...سورة الشورى 52
May Allah bless us with the sweetness of IMĀN...
وصلى الله على سيدنا محمد الفاتح لما أغلق والخاتم لما سبق ناصر الحق
