Making Du`a for the Umma of the Beloved of Allah (peace and blessings unlimited be upon him, his family, companions, and followers)

Ma`ruf al-Karkhi, one of the righteous imams of the early Muslims (salaf), said,

"Whoever says,

'Allahumma aslih Ummata Muhammad
Allahumma farrij `an Ummati Muhammad
Allahumma Rham Ummata Muhammad
[salla Allahu `alayhi wa sallam]

(O Allah, improve the state of the Umma of Muhammad
O Allah, grant ease to the Umma of Muhammad
O Allah, have mercy on the Umma of Muhammad),'

ten times every day will be written down as one of the highest of elect believers (abdal)." [Abu Nu`aym, Hilyat al-Awliya, 8.366]

Why? The Prophet of Mercy (peace and blessings be upon him) said,

"Have mercy on those on earth, and the Lord of the Skies will have mercy on you." [Ahmad, Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi, and Bukhari in his al-Adab al-Mufrad from Abd Allah ibn Amr (Allah be pleased with him)]
