Summary
The Mufti states he does not know of any specific text for reciting salawat 10 times after Zuhur. Salawat upon the Prophet SAW has many virtues in general, and mentioning such virtues is not considered wrong. However, fixing a specific number or time with certainty requires an authentic text, which has not been found. He also recommends practising supplications from authentic hadiths, such as the one seeking refuge from worry, sadness, weakness and laziness, narrated by al-Bukhari.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Secara umumnya, tentang fadilat tidak jadi kesalahan tetapi menentukan secara yakin dan spesifik perlukan nas yang sahih yang belum kami temui.
