Salawat with Allah’s Beautiful Names: Yā Bāri’ (the Originator)

This prayer is taken from Sayyidi Habib Umar bin Hafiz’s collection of prayers using Allah’s beautiful names in which he calls upon Allah by His beautiful names and then asks Him to bestow prayers upon His Beloved by those names. Finally, he asks Allah for a portion of those attributes which belong to Allah and which He has bestowed upon His Messenger ﷺ.

اللَّهُمَّ يا اللهُ يا بَارِىء صَلِّ على عَبْدِكَ و حَبِيبِكَ سَيِّدِنا مُحَمَّدٍ النَّبِيِّ أَكْرَمِ مَنْ بَرَأَتَ و على آلِهِ و صَحْبِهِ و سَلِّمْ تَسْلِيماً و أَثْبِتْنِي عِنْدَكَ في خَيْرِ البَرِيَةِ فَضْلاً و إِحْسَاناً

Allāhumma yā Allāhu yā Bāri’ ṣalli ‘alā ‘abdika wa ḥabībika sayyidinā Muḥammad akrami man bara’ta wa ‘alā ālihi wa ṣaḥbihi wa sallim tasliman wa athbitnī ‘indaka fī khayr al-barīyati faḍlan wa iḥsāna

O Allah, O Originator, bestow abundant prayers and peace upon Your slave and beloved, our Master Muḥammad, the Prophet, the noblest of people who You brought into existence and upon his Family and Companions and make me among the best of people in Your sight out of Your bounty and kindness.
