Is the common saying "Needs are met by praying upon the Prophet, may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him" or "Needs are met by him" permissible, especially since it is not mentioned in the hadith and raises doubts?
It has been reported that frequently sending blessings upon the Prophet suffices a servant for what concerns him in the matters of this world and the Hereafter. However, the chains of narration for these reports are weak, although some are not severely weak. Such narrations can be used for encouragement regarding virtuous deeds. What strengthens this meaning is the Hadith in Sahih Muslim: "Whoever sends blessings upon me once, Allah will send blessings upon him ten times." So, whoever receives blessings from Allah, his concerns will be sufficed, and his sins will be forgiven. A Muslim should diversify his remembrances and not limit himself to sending blessings upon the Prophet. He should begin his supplication by glorifying and praising Allah, then sending blessings upon the Prophet, and then supplicate for whatever he wishes. It is obligatory to adhere to the authentically transmitted forms of sending blessings upon the Prophet and to avoid innovated forms that may contain prohibitions.
