What is meant by praying upon the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, in the Hadith, and does it mean dedicating the entire time of Qiyam al-Layl (night vigil) to it?
The about the virtue of sending blessings upon the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and his saying, "How much of my prayer should I dedicate to you?" means "my supplication." So, whoever dedicates all of his supplications to sending blessings upon the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, Allah will suffice him for what worries him concerning his worldly and
Hereafter affairs, and He will forgive his sins. This is because every blessing sent upon the Prophet is met with ten blessings from Allah. As for enlivening the night by sending blessings upon the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, it is permissible. The meaning of " al-Layl" (night vigil) is to occupy most of the night with obedience to Allah, such as reciting the Quran, dhikr (remembrance of Allah), and sending blessings upon the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him.
