Al-Uthaymeen: The Combination of Peace and Blessings in Dua for the Prophet ﷺ

Ibn al-Uthaymeen (may Allah have Mercy on him) said:

The combination of sending Peace and Blessings (in supplication) upon the Prophet has a marvelling secret:

Blessings: the supplicant is asking for something to be given to him - praise.  

Peace: the supplicant is asking for something to be diverted from him – harm.
