Chapter 75
Remembrance 1 from Chapter 75
Beginning du‘ā’ by invoking blessings upon the Messenger
Context
WE HAVE RELATED in the Sunans of Abū Dāwūd, at-Tirmidhī and an-Nasā’ī from Fuḍālah ibn ‘Ubayd 
that the Messenger of Allah 
heard a man supplicating in his ṣalāh who did not magnify Allah or pray for blessings on the Messenger . So the Messenger of Allah observed: “This man has rushed.” Then he called him and told him him or someone else: “When any one of you performs ṣalāh, he should begin with the magnification of his Lord 
and extol Him; next he should pray for blessings on the Messenger ; and after that he should supplicate for whatever he wants.” [1].At-Tirmidhī describes this as a ḥasan ṣaḥīḥ hadith.
