NOTE:
Sayyiduna Shaykh Ahmad al-Tijani (RA) is narrated to have stated that whoever recites this Salat 10 times in the morning & the evening after the Fajr & Asr prayers, will attain the grand pleasure of Allah, be safe from Divine Wrath and be surrounded by Divine Mercy & Shelter. It is also stated that one recitation of this blessed Salat is equal to the recitation of 10,000 Salawat and that it is a sure cure for all difficulties.
