Salvation Through the Abundant Recitation of Durood

A person once saw Abu Hafs Al-Kaaghazi رحمه الله, who was a very pious person, in a dream after his demise. On seeing Abu Hafs رحمه الله, he asked him, “How did Allah Ta’ala deal with you?” Abu Hafs replied, “Allah Ta’ala had mercy on me, forgave me and admitted me into Jannah.” When Abu Hafs  رحمه الله  was asked the reason for him being honoured and blessed in this manner, he said, “When I stood before Allah Ta’ala, He commanded the angels to commence counting my deeds. They thus counted my sins and counted my Durood upon Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم, and found that my Durood upon Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم outnumbered my sins. Allah Ta’ala then said to the angels, ‘O My angels! This is sufficient! Do not take him to account for his sins and enter him into my Jannah!’”

(The Gift of Durood and Salaam pg.133)

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.
