Show respect towards prophets of God; Be grateful; Remember those who have gone before us in faith; Ask Allah for mercy on others.

This hadith teaches us about the importance of invoking blessings upon the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his family. The Prophet instructed people to say "O Allah, bless Muhammad, his wives and his off springs, as Thou didst bless Abrahams family, and grant favours to Muhammads family, his wives and off springs, as Thou didst grant favours to Abrahams family. Thou art indeed praiseworthy and glorious." This is a way of showing respect for the Prophet by asking Allah for His mercy on him. It also shows that we should be grateful for all that Allah has given us in our lives. Furthermore it teaches us that we should always remember those who have gone before us in faith such as Abraham's family who were blessed by God with many favors.
