Hazrat Ja’far bin Abdullah رحمه الله relates:
“On one occasion, I saw Imaam Abu Zur’ah رحمه الله (a famous scholar of Hadith) in a dream. I saw him in the heavens leading the angels in salaah. I asked him, “O Abu Zur’ah رحمه الله, how did you reach this high position of honour?” He replied, “With this hand of mine, I have written one million Ahaadith, and whenever I wrote the blessed name of Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم, I also wrote Salaat and Salaam, and Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم said, ‘Whoever recites Salaat on me once, Allah Ta’ala bestows ten mercies upon him.’”
According to this calculation, it would mean that (through him writing the Durood one million times), the mercies from Allah would amount to ten million upon him. One can well imagine that when only one mercy from the side of Allah is more valuable than everything on earth, then how fortunate will be the person upon whom ten million mercies of Allah rain upon!
(The Gift of Durood and Salaam pg.159)
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 اللہُ 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.”
