Revealed over twenty-three years in Makkah and Madinah, preserved by memorisation and by writing in the lifetime of the Prophet ﷺ, and compiled into a single codex under the caliphs Abu Bakr and 'Uthman. Within it the salutation upon the Prophet is not merely permitted but commanded — an exchange in which the Divine sends first, and creation answers.
إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَمَلَائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ۚ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيمًا
Inna Allāha wa malā'ikatahu yuṣallūna 'alā an-nabiyy; yā ayyuhā alladhīna āmanū ṣallū 'alayhi wa sallimū taslīmā
Indeed, Allah and His angels send blessings upon the Prophet. O you who believe, send blessings upon him and greet him with a worthy greeting.
Surah al-Ahzab 33:56
وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ إِلَّا رَحْمَةً لِّلْعَالَمِينَ
Wa mā arsalnāka illā raḥmatan lil-'ālamīn
And We have not sent you except as a mercy to all the worlds.
Surah al-Anbiya 21:107
وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ
Wa rafa'nā laka dhikrak
And We raised high for you your remembrance.
Surah ash-Sharh 94:4
وَإِنَّكَ لَعَلَىٰ خُلُقٍ عَظِيمٍ
Wa innaka la'alā khuluqin 'aẓīm
And indeed, you are of a magnificent character.
Surah al-Qalam 68:4
