He remained aggrieved for the sinners of the ummah throughout his life.^[1]

When he صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was lowered into his grave, his blessed lips were moving, so some of the Companions رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهُم put their ears close to listen, and heard him softly saying,

اُمَّتِی اُمَّتِی

“My nation, my nation.”

On the Day of Judgement, it is with him that salvation will be found. When all the noble Prophets عَـلَـيْـهِمُ الـصَّلٰوةُ وَالـسَّـلَام will say,

نَفْسِی نَفْسِی اِذْھَبُـوْا اِلٰی غَیْرِی

“Myself, myself; go to someone else,”

 the beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم will exclaim,  

یَارَبِّ اُمَّتِیْ اُمَّتِیْ

“O my Lord, forgive my ummah, my ummah.”^[2]

The beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم not only remembered his sinful ummah throughout his life, but will intercede for us on the Day of Judgement too. So, love and devotion demand that we also present our proof of being from his nation by acting upon his Sunnah and to never show heedlessness in sending ṣalāt upon him.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                     صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
