Allāh and His angels send blessings on the Prophet: O you that believe! Send your blessings on him, and salute him with all respect. (33:56) The ayaat in the Qur'an that commands the believers to do good deeds or refrain from evil actions begins with “Ya ayyuhal latheena aamano”, “O you who have believed” however this āyah does not begin in this way. Rather, Allāh ta'ala mentions that He and His Angels send blessings and greetings on the Prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam first before calling the Believers to follow. Allāh subḥānahu wa ta'āla calls the believers, because of your emaan, send ṣalāh and salaam on the Messenger. The Scholars of tafseer state that this is to show the honorable and elevated status of the Prophet sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam as well as to show the honor in the act of sending ṣalāh on him. If Allāh and His Angels do this action, it should motivate the Believers to do so as well.
