Due to Allah’s honor of his Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, He made the testimony of proving His oneness is linked to the testimony of proving the Prophet’s message. It is Allah’s mercy and grace that he gives double reward to those exalting his Prophet’s mention. In this hadith, the Prophet ﷺ clarifies that if a person exalts the Prophet’s mentions one time, Allah will similarly have mercy, reward, honor, and exalt his mention in the highest assembly ten times. It is said that the meaning is that Allah approaches his servants with compassion and brings them out of darkness into light as He says, “He it is Who sends Ṣalāt (His blessings) on you, and His angels too (ask Allah to bless and forgive you), that He may bring you out from darkness into light.” (Al-Ahzab: 43) This is like Allah’s saying in the sacred hadith in Bukhari, “I am as my slave expects me to be, and I am with him when he remembers Me. If he remembers Me inwardly, I will remember him inwardly, and if he remembers Me in an assembly, I will remember him in a better assembly.” Thus, a Muslim’s exalting the Prophet’s mentions is better than supplicating for himself. In Sunan An-Nasa’i, Anas ibn Malek narrated that the Prophet ﷺ says, “Whoever exalts my mention one time, Allah will exalt his mention ten times, forgive ten sins, and raise him ten degrees.” Finally, this hadith urges to frequently exalt the Prophet’s mention..
