How to win proximity with the Messenger (God bless him and give him peace)

From ”Day and Night Schedule of the Believer”, by Scholar Abdessalam Yassine  

You should perform aṣ-Ṣalāt ^‘alā Rassūlillāh that is, ask God to shed His Blessings and Salutations upon the Prophet (God bless him and give him peace) at least 300 times per day; you should also devote the eve and daytime of Friday to this prayer. By it God saves us from the depths of darkness into light and illuminates our hearts. At-Tirmidhī and Ibn Ḥibbān in his Ṣaḥīḥ reported on the authority of Ibn Mas^’ūd (God be pleased with him) that God’s Messenger (God bless him and give him peace) said: “Those who will most deserve my company on the Day of Resurrection are those who most often ask God (in this life) to shed His blessings upon me. 
أولى الناس بي يوم القيامة أكثرهم علي صلاة.  

Abū Dāwūd and an-Nasā^’ī reported on the authority of Abū Hurayra (God be pleased with him) that the Prophet (God bless him and give him peace) said: “Whoever wishes to have the delight of earning the Greatest Reward when he asks God to shed His blessings upon us, the People of the House,  Āl al-Bayt, let him say: O Lord, shed Your blessings upon Muhammad the Prophet, his wives, i.e. Mothers of the Believers, his descendents and his family even as you have shed them upon the People of Abraham, for You are Worthy of all Praise, Worthy of all Glory.”  

اللهم صل على محمد النبي وأزواجه أمهات المؤمنين وذريته وأهل بيته كما صليت على آل إبراهيم إنك حميد مجيد.
