Understanding and application
Why do صَلَّى عَلَيَّ and صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ convey different meanings in Hadith 206?
Salawat, Mosque Service, Good Character, and the Trust of Knowledge (Hadith 206–213)
- Allah is the subject in the first and a person in the second
- The first is a person sending salawat; the second describes Allah’s blessing
- Both concern building a mosque
- Neither expression conveys a meaningful idea
