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
