اِنَّ اللّٰہَ وَکَّلَ بِقَبْرِیْ مَلَکًااَعْطَاہُ اَسْمَاعَ الْخَلَائِقِ فَلَا یُصَلِّیْ عَلَیَّ اَحَدٌ اِلٰی یَوْمِ الْقِیَامَۃِ اِلَّا اَبْلَغَنِیْ بِاِسْمِہٖ وَاِسْمِ اَبِیْہ  ِہٰذَا فُلَانُ بْنُ فُلَانٍ قَدْ صَلّٰی عَلَیْکَ

Translation: Indeed, Allah Almighty has appointed an angel to my grave which has been granted power to hear the voices of the entire creation. So, there is no one who sends Salat upon me until the Day of Judgement, except that it informs me of his name and the name of his father, (saying,) ‘So-and-so, son of so-and-so has sent Salat upon you.’ (Majma’ Al-Zawa’id Kitab Al-Ad’eet, vol. 10, p. 251, Hadith 17291)

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                                                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! Before listening to the Bayan, let’s first of all make good intentions to please Allah Almighty and to earn reward. The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said, ‘نِيَّةُ الۡمُؤۡمِنِ خَيۡرٌ مِّنۡ عَمَلِهٖ’ The intention of a Muslim is better than his action.

(Mu’jam-ul-Kabeer, vol. 6, p. 185, Hadith 5942)

An important point

For righteous and permissible work, the more good intentions we make, the more reward we attain.

Intentions of listening to Bayan

1.   In order to gain the knowledge of Deen, lowering my eyes, I will listen to the Bayan attentively.

2.   I will sit in the Attahiyyaat position for as long as possible with the intention of showing respect for religious knowledge.

3.   When I hear صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب, اُذۡكُرُوا اللّٰه, تُوۡبُوۡا اِلَیاللّٰه, etc., I will reply loudly with the intention of gaining reward.
