It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When you send blessings upon me, then ask Allah to grant me al-Wasilah. Someone asked, "O Messenger of Allah! What is al-Wasilah?" He replied: It is the name of the highest rank in Paradise, which will be given to only one person, and I hope that I will be that person.
