1085. It was narrated that
Shaddād bin Aws said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'The best of your days is Friday. On it Ādam was created, on it the Trumpet will be blown, on it all creatures will swoon. So send a great deal of peace and blessings upon me on that day, for your peace and blessings will be presented to me.' A man said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, how will our peace and blessings be shown to you when you will have disintegrated?' He said: 'Allāh has forbidden the earth to consume the bodies of the Prophets.'" (Da'if)

Commentary
When the Hour comes, a particular angel Isrāfil ﷺ shall sound the Trumpet (called Sur in the Qur'ān). This will herald the beginning of the Hour.
Sending peace and blessings on the Prophet ﷺ is a deed par excellence, and so is Friday. It is this affinity between the two that makes sending peace and blessings on the Prophet ﷺ all the more opportune on Friday.
One should not be deluded into thinking that the moment they recite our peace and blessings on the Prophet ﷺ he is informed of it instantly. In all likelihood it is communicated to him by the angels at an appropriate time, which means that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ does not directly hear any body's peace and blessings, neither from near nor from afar. It is the angels that communicate it to him. The Hadith suggesting that he directly hears our peace and blessings for him is not based on a sound chain of narration.
