All of these blessings belong to Hadrat Sayyidur-Rusul [the Chief of the Messengers], that God the Benevolent honours his hum- ble followers with such noble discourses out of His great favours and benevolence. اللّٰھم صل ّ علٰی محمد و اٰل محمد [O our Allah, send down Your blessings upon Muhammad and upon the progeny of Muhammad].
