Dear Professor, in the supplication of the Sahifa Sajjadiya, Imam al-Sajjad begins with these words: “My Lord, send blessings upon Muhammad and his family.”
In one of the Quran study groups, people raised the following three questions about sending blessings upon Muhammad and his family. I’m forwarding them to you. I would be grateful if you could answer them.
— Peace be upon you.
Where has Allah commanded us to send blessings upon Muhammad and his family?
— Has Allah given such a command?
— Why don’t you send blessings upon Abraham?
