Virtue and source
Abud-Dardaa (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever sends salah upon me 10 times in the morning and 10 times in the evening will receive my intercession." (Tabarani: al-Mu'jam al-Kabeer 6357)
How to read this dhikr
Intercession of the Prophet ﷺ is part of the evening azkar, the adhkar the Prophet ﷺ taught for the evening. The best time is after Asr, before the sun sets; if you miss that window it can still be read after Maghrib, before you sleep.
It is read 10 times. In the Sadeeq app a single tap counts each repetition and moves you on automatically when you reach 10, so you can keep your attention on the words rather than on a counter.
The same dhikr is also part of the morning azkar.
