عن ابن مسعود رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلي الله عليه وسلم قال ان لله ملآءكة سياحين يبلغوني عن أمتي السلام
Hazrat Abdullah bin Masood رضي الله عنه reports that Rasulullah صلي الله عليه وسلم said, “Verily Allah Ta’ala has (appointed) angels who travel throughout (the earth) only to convey to me the Salams of my Ummah.”
The Angel that Stands at the Blessed Grave of Sayyiduna Rasulullah صلي الله عليه وسلم
عن عمار بن ياسر رضي الله عنهما قال قال رسول الله صلي الله عليه وسلم إن الله وكل بقبري ملكا أعطاه اسماع الخلاءق فلي يصلي علي أحد الي يوم القيامة إلا أبلغني بإسمه واسم أبيه هذا فلان بن فلان قد صلي عليك
Hazrat Ammar bin Yaasir رضي الله عنه reports that Rasulullah صلي الله عليه وسلم said, “Verily Allah Ta’ala has (appointed) an angel at my grave who can hear the whole creation. Whenever any person sends Durood to me until the day of Qiyamah, this angel brings it to me together with the name of the person and his fathers’ name.”
Commentary
Hazrat Shaikhul Hadith Moulana Muhammad Zakariyya رحمه الله explains,
“There appears to be a contradiction between the above two Hadiths. One mentions that a single angel has been appointed at the Qabr of Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم who hears all the Durood recited by the creation and conveys it to Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم. The other explains that there are many angels who travel throughout the earth to bring the Duroods recited to Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم. There is no contradiction in reality because the angel at Rasulullah’s صلى الله عليه وسلم has the sole task of listening and convey ing the Duroods of the Ummah to Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم. On the other hand, the travelling angels search for gatherings of zikr and when Durood is read therein, they bring it to Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم.”

يَا رَبِّ صَلِّ وَسَلِّمْ دَائِمَاً أَبَدًا عَلَى حَبِيْبِكَ خَيْرِ الْخَلْقِ كُلِّهِمِ
“O Sustainer, shower Salaat and Salaam forever and ever upon Your beloved, who is the best of all creation.”
جَزَی اللهُ عَنَّا نَبِيَّنَا مُحَمَّدًا صَلَّی اللہُ عَلَیْه وسَلَّمَ بِمَا هُوَ أَھْلُهُ
May Allah Ta’ala جل جلاله reward our Nabi Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم on our behalf such a reward that is due to Him.
