عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال من صلى علي واحدة صلى الله عليه عشرا ومن صلى علي عشرا صلى الله عليه مائة و من صلى علي مائة صلى الله عليه الفا و من زاد صبابة و شوقا كنت له شفيعا و شهيدا يوم القيامة (القول البديع ص236)
Hadhrat Abu Hurayrah رضي الله عنه reports that Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “Whoever recites durood on me once, on him Allah Ta’ala sends ten blessings. Whosoever recites durood on me ten times, on him Allah Ta’ala sends one hundred blessings. Whosoever recites durood on me one hundred times, on him Allah Ta’ala sends thousand blessings. And whoever recites more with love and enthusiasm, I will intercede and testify for him on the day of Qiyamah.
(The Gift of Durood and Salaam pg.50)
Reflections
It is absolutely essential that we, as believers, recognise that one of the rights that Sayyiduna Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم has upon us is that we recite durood upon Him in abundance. Hence, we should make it a part of our daily schedule to regularly recite durood shareef upon our beloved Nabi 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.
