" Peace be with you, O Messanger of Allah ; pease be with you, O
the best for all the creatures of Allah ; peace be with you O selected
one of Allah ; peace be with you, O dear one of Allah ; peace be with
you O Chief of the descendants of Adam ; peace as well as the mercy of
Allah and his blessings be with you O Prophet. O Messanger of Allah !
I bear witness that there ia no God but Allah, He is alone no partner
He hath and I bear witness that ye are His slave and Messanger. I bear
witness that ye have conveyed that divine Message and have transmitted
the entrusted mission ; ye wished well for your people and dispelled their
restlessness.
May Allah grant ye a good reward ; may Allah bless ye on our behalf with
a better reward then that He ever blessed any prophet on behalf of his
people. O Allah ! Confer upon our lord and Thy slave and Messanger Muhammad
Thy Wasilah (nearness to His sanctuary) excellence and elevated position
and admit him to Maqam-e-Mahmood (the praiseworty place) which thou promised
him ; no doubt Thou violatest not Thy promise ; and grant him a favourite
place near Thee. Undoubtedly Thou art Glorious. Most Bountiful."
After this Salam you should pray to Allah through the mediation of the
Holy Prophet (Peace be upon him). Then you should ask the Holy Prophet
for his intercession and say :-
" O Messanger of Allah ! I ask you for your intercession and I request
your mediation towards Allah for that I die as Muslim, on your faith and
on your tradition."
To these words you may add whatever you like but that must be very respectful
and humble. Conciseness in this regard has however been appreciated by
our worthy predecessors. You should not be very loud but instead you should
present your request very humbly and respectfully. If you have to convey
Salam on behalf of any other person you shoud say :-
"Peace be with you O Messanger of Allah on behalf of so and so son
of so and so. He requests your intercession towards your Lord."
