Ṣalawāt will save you on the Ṣirāṭ
On the authority of Abdur Rahmān ibn Samurah he said:
The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ came out to us and said:
"Indeed, I saw something amazing last night: I saw a man from my nation crawling on the Ṣirāṭ (Bridge over Hellfire) at times,
walking on all fours at times, and hanging on at times. Then his sending of blessings upon me (the Prophet ﷺ) came and took him by the hand, lifted him up, and helped him to cross the Ṣirāṭ."
Reported by al-Ṭabarānī in Al-Kabīr and by Abū Mūsā Al-Madanī, who said:

Imām al-Ghazālī quoted a saying,
“I read the Qur’ān but did not find sweetness in it. Then I read it as if I was hearing it from the Prophet ﷺ while he was reciting it to his companions. Then, I moved a stage further and read the Qur’ān as I was hearing it from Jibreel while
he delivered it to the Prophet ﷺ. Then Allah سبحانه وتعالى brought me to a further stage – I began to read it as if I was hearing it from the Speaker. This was a blessing that was so unbearably (amazing) and satisfying.”

Sayyidunā 'Alī reported that the Prophet ﷺ said
“There will come a time upon the people, when there will remain nothing of Islām except its name (ism) and nothing will remain of the Qur’ān except its outward form (rasm). Their masjids will be full of people (well built) but
will be empty of guidance. Their scholars will be the most evil under the heavens; from them turmoil (fitnah) will emanate and to them it will return.”
Heﷺ said: "I counsel you to be conscious of Allāh, for it will beautify your entire affair." (In another narration: "For it is the head of the entire
affair.") I said; "O Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, give me more." He said: "Recite the Qur'ān, and make remembrance of Allāh, for it is remarked of you in the heavens, and is a light for you on earth." I said: "O Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, give me more." He said: "Be silent often, for it

Abū Barza al-Aslamī رضي الله عنه reported that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said:
'A servant's steps will not cease on the Day of Resurrection until he has been asked concerning four: His life and by what means he exhausted it, his knowledge and how he acted upon it, his wealth
and how he earned and spent it, and his body and by what means he wore it out."
Tirmidhī - Haṣan Ṣaḥīḥ
Bazzār, Bayhaqī and Ṭabarānī narrated, with a Ṣaḥīḥ chain of transmission on the authority of Mu'adh b. Jabal رضي الله عنه that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said:

Words from a Wise Man to His Son
"I have experienced many things in life and was able to derive from them 8 beneficial points.
1. If you are in prayer, watch your heart.
Watch your heart that it focuses on other than your Lord during the prayer, for you will be doing the devil
a service and harming only your self.
2. If you are in a gathering of people, watch your tongue.
Be careful of what you say, or what you choose not to say - though silence is usually the safest bet.

O slave of Allāh, your religion is your capital; if you lose it, you have lost your capital. Therefore, busy your tongue with His remembrance, your heart with His love and your limbs in His service, and cultivate your existence until the seed [of true faith] appears and thus
grows. Whoever treats his heart in the way a farmer treats his land, his heart will be illuminated.
The similitude [of the spiritual path] is like that of two men who bought equally proportionate land. One of them took it and cleared it of thorns and grass, irrigated it with

The Prophet ﷺ curing the eyesight of the early Ḥadīth scholar Imām Ḥāfiẓ Abū Yūsuf Ya'qūb Ibn Sufyān رضي الله عنه (d. 277AH)
He says
I was travelling for 30 years. During my journey my funds ran out. So I decided to write during the day and read during the night. One night
I was writing with lantern lit, it was winter, and my eyes watered, which made me blind. So I started to cry because of the loss of knowledge.
I soon fell asleep and I saw the Prophet ﷺ in my vision, and he called me and said:
"O Ya'qūb, why are you crying?"

THE MĀLIKĪ MADHHAB
As for the Mālikī jurists, then Qāḍī' ʿIyāḍ has narrated in al-Shifā' on the authority of the Imām of the Land of Migration [Imam Mālik] that he said to Abū Ja'far al-Manṣūr, when he asked him about facing the qiblah during supplication,
Why turn your face away from him when he is your means and the means of your father Ādam before you?
Rather, face him and ask him to intercede, so that Allāh accepts his intercession for you.
In his book al-Madkhal, Ibn al-Ḥājj al-Mālikī said:

As for the Shāfi'ī Imāms, then [we have the likes of] Imām al-Nawawī, who said in al-Adhkār, al-Manāsik and Sharḥ al-Muhadhdhab during the discussion on visiting the Prophet ﷺ:
Then one returns to stand in front of the Prophet's faceﷺ and turns to him
to request for oneself and asks him to intercede with his Lord, Glorified and Most High. One of the best formulas for one to say is what has been mentioned with approval by our companions [the Shāfi'ī scholars] from al-'Utbā:
'I was sitting at the Prophet's graveﷺ when a

As for the authoritative texts from the Hanafi Imams, then they have discussed [the matter at hand] in the chapter on visiting [the Prophet ﷺ ] and elsewhere, and I do not know of any dispute amongst them on the issue.

(Allāmah 'Abd Allāh Ibn Mawdūd al-Mawṣilī) and its commentary-who is from amongst the early Ḥanafīs - says at the end of the [Book of Hajj in the Chapter on Visiting (the Prophet :

Shaykh Ibn Taymiyyah said in Iqtiḍā al-ṣirāṭ al-mustaqīm
"As for what has been narrated about a man who came to the Prophet's graveﷺ and complained to
him about the drought in the Year of Ramādah, after which he saw him [ﷺin a dream] ordering him to go to 'Umar and command him to lead the people in performing the rain prayer, then such things often occur to those who are less than the Prophet ﷺ [in rank], and I know of
