Invocation in Messenger's Manner according to Sunnite viewpoint

Occurrence and license of invocation were found out through studying Sunnite sources and documents as apparent tradition in messengers’ life. The occurrence of multiple cases of invocation to messengers and God Almighty’s friends is the sign if invocation history and is the strongest evidence for its legitimacy. This study tries to express some invocation cases which consist of both messengers’ invocation to God Almighty and the people invocation to the messengers in their life through descriptive analysis method according to Sunnite documents. The great part of these cases belongs to invocation to the holy Prophet (p.b.a.h.). Unlike Shia tradition, Sunnite tradition narrates few invocation cases in messengers’ life. However, several cases of invocation to the holy Prophet (p.b.a.h.) have been narrated and also some valuable studies and efforts to answer to the raised questions on various aspects of invocation have been conducted.
