The Salutation of the Month of Sha’ban* by Al-Habīb Abu Bakr Al-‘Adny Bin ‘Ali Al-Masyhur

ٱلْلٰهُمَّ يَا مَنْ جَعَلْتَ شَهْرَ شَعْبَانَ شَهْرَ النَّبِيِّ الخَاتِمِ المَعْصُوم

O Allah (O He) Who has made Shabān the month of the infallible Prophet

وشَقَقْتَ لَهُ القَمَرَ في نِصْفِهِ المَعْلُومِ

and split the moon

وعَرَّفْتَ فيه الأُمَمَ شَرَفَ الصَّلَاةِ عَلَىٰ

You have manifested to the nations the virtues of sending blessings upon him in the unseen dominion and celestial presences

{بآيَةِ {إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَمَلائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيمًا

by saying, ‘Verily, Allah and His angels are sending blessings to the Prophet, o believers send blessings and immense salutations upon him’

صلِّ اللهم وَسَلِّمْ عَلَيْهِ مَا دَارَتِ الأَفْلَاكُ بِالنُّجُومِ

Bless him as long as stars travel in the orbits around

صلَاةً وَسَلَاماً دَائِمَيْنِ مُتَلَازِمَيْنِ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ القَضَاءِ المَحْتُومِ

and continue to bless him to the Last Day in a way unbound

وعَلَىٰ آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ وَسَلِّمْ

and upon his family and companions
