عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: من صلي علي واحدة صلي الله عليه عشرا (صحيح مسلم الرقم 408)
Hazrat Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه reports that Hazrat Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “Whoever sends salutations upon me once, Allah will send salutations (i.e. reward him and shower His mercy) upon him ten times.”
(The Gift of Durood and Salaam)
Commentary
Shaikhul Hadith, Moulana Muhammad Zakariyya Sahib رحمه الله writes:
“A single mercy from Allah Ta’ala is sufficient for the entire world. Here, Allah Ta’ala is sending ten mercies to the person who sends a single Durood upon Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم. What greater rewards can one hope for? How fortunate are those pious whose routine it was to recite Durood 125 000 times daily as is the case of the elders in our family.” (Fazaail Durood pg.24)
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.”
