Shaykh Faraz was saying that one of the miracles of the Prophet :sas: is his name "MuHammad". His being named "MuHammad" is his miracle.

Allah subHanahu wa ta'ala refers to the Prophet :sas: in the Qur'an al-Hakeem as the Prophet rather than by his miraculous name MuHammad. This is to allevate the status of the Prophet. Everyone is praising the Prophet. He is MuHammad.

After every salah we say, Allah raise the status of the Prophet even higher and a maqam MaHmooda that is promised to him Allah bless him and send salutation upon him.

With the passing of RasulAllah the whole world is now busy praising the Prophet after every salah around the earth as the earth rotates and people observe day and night. The praise of the Prophet covers the earth, envelops it with movement. the Prophet the Prophet the Prophet MuHammad :sas:

Shifa'at Ya RasulAllah Aghithna Ya RasulAllah

What is the nearest possible tafseer of 'Maqam al-Mahmood'? Please relate references.

JazakAllah

As for the Prophet- Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him- the Divine grace has been guaranteed to him and he has been raised to the praiseworthy station (al-Maqam al-Mahmood) by his Beloved such that lack of blessings does not harm him. The true lover reaches his beloved with every blessing without waiting for a reason, and Allah has better right to such a love, for He is the Most Merciful of the merciful and He is the Most Generous of the generous. If He forgives the disobedient without a reason except His enormous mercy and His great grace and largess, how then should He treat His Chosen Beloved, the crown of creation? Your lord shall give you, and you shall be satisfied ( Quran 93:5).
 
These verses are attributed to Sayyiduna Ĥassān ibn Thābit al-Anşāri rađiyAllāhu ánhu:

agharru álayhi li’n nubuwwati khātamun
minallāhi mash-hūdun yalūĥu wa yush-hadu
wa đamma’l ilāh isma’n nabiyyi ila’smihi
idhā qāla fi’l khamsil mu-adh’dhinu ash-hadu

wa shaqqa lahu mini’smihi li yujilallahu
fa dhu’l árshi maĥmūdun wa hādha muĥammadu
nabiyyun atāna baáda ya’sin wa fatratin
mina’r rusuli wa’l awthānu fi’l arđi túbadu

fa amsā sirājan mustanīran wa hādiyan
yalūĥu kamā lāĥa’s şaqīlu’l muhannadu
wa andharanā nāran wa bash’shara jannatan
wa államana’l islāma fallāha naĥmadu

wa anta ilāhu’l khalqi rabbī wa khāliqī
bi dhālika mā ámmartu fi’n nāsi ash-hadu
táālayta rabba’n nāsi án qawli man dáā
siwāka ilāhan, anta aálā wa amjadu

laka’l khalqu wa’n náamā-u wa’l amru kulluhu
fa iyyaka nas-tahdī wa iyyāka nábudu

[Dīwān Ĥassān ibn Thābit al-Anşāri, pg.49]

Translation of the two most famous ones from the above:

wa đamma’l ilāh isma’n nabiyyi ila’smihi
idhā qāla fi’l khamsil mu-adh’dhinu ash-hadu

wa shaqqa lahu mini’smihi li yujilallahu
fa dhu’l árshi maĥmūdun wa hādha muĥammadu

And Allah joined the name of the Prophet along with His own,
When the Mu'adh-dhin calls out 'I bear witness' five times a day

Even his name is derived from Allah's own name, to highlight his importance
The Lord of `Arsh is Mahmud (The Praised One) and this is Muhammad!

Sallallahu `alayhi wa ala aalihi wa sallam.
