Sidi Ahmad Tijani said:
If I should express what Allah is to me and my companions
reward
with the salat al Fatihi,
then the great god-connoisseurs (akabir al arifin) would kill me with united forces . "
(From the Epistles of Sidi Muhammad ibn Ahmed Akansus)
"The great reward that Allah has reserved for those who recite the Salat al Fatihi is not to be mentioned, and it will only be visible in the Hereafter."
Sidi al Haj Ali Harazem comments:
"The reason is that this prayer itself
the Holy Essence of Allah (Kalam Dhat al Muqaddasa)
and thus no result of human activity. "
And of the benefits of reciting this prayer is that it is the one who speaks it
before the hellfire (fidya mina an nar) ...
... and to those who recite it, Allah will forgive all his sins,
even if he was 100,000 years old.
(Kunnash of Sidi al Haj Ali Harazem)
اللَّهُمَّ صَل عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ ۞ الفَاتِحِ لِمَا أُغْلِقَ ۞ وَالخَاتِمِ لِمَا سَبَقَ ۞ نَاصِرِ الحَقِّ بِالحَقِّ ۞ وَالهَادِي إِلَى صِرَاطِكَ المُسْتَقِيمِ ۞ وَعَلَى آلِهِ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِ وَمِقْدَارِهِ العَظِيمِ ۩
