Hazrat Hafiz Qaasim Paruk Sahib حفظه الله mentions,
This servant had the opportunity to meet Hazrat Mufti Kifaayatullah Sahib رحمه الله on numerous occasions. He was the Khalifa of Shaikhul Hadith, Hazrat Moulana Muhammad Zakariyya Sahib رحمه الله and had intense love for his Shaikh.
Hazrat Mufti Sahib رحمه الله mentioned that he was regular in his correspondence with Hazrat Shaikh رحمه الله. One night he had a dream and wrote to Hazrat Shaikh رحمه الله. Hazrat Shaikh رحمه الله interpreted the dream that he will go for Hajj. Hazrat Mufti Sahib رحمه الله wrote back to Hazrat Shaikh رحمه الله that he is so poor that he cannot even afford to go beyond his locality; how will it be possible for him to undertake the journey for Hajj?
Hazrat Shaikh رحمه الله responded; “Who said that money takes you for Hajj? You should recite 500 times Durood Shareef on the Musallah in the state of Wudhu prior to sleeping. Through the mercy of Allah Ta’ala جل جلاله, you will soon go for Hajj.”
Hazrat Mufti Sahib رحمه الله immediately started reciting the 500 Durood Shareef every night after Esha Salaah. Through the barakah of Durood Shareef, Hazrat Mufti Sahib رحمه الله went for Hajj the very same year! He added that Allah Ta’ala جل جلاله had blessed him with excessive visits to Haramain Shareefain.
Such is the potency of Durood Shareef that there was a friend who was accredited for Hajj. He informed this servant that although he was accredited, he did not have the funds. We advised him to recite 500 Durood Shareef every night before retiring. Amazingly, Allah Ta‘ala جل جلاله inspired others to assist the brother and he went for Hajj the very same year!
We therefore realise that we should never underestimate the sheer power of Durood Shareef. Indeed, Durood Shareef is the solution to many problems and it is also one of the rights of Sayyiduna Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم.
May Allah Ta’ala جل جلاله create within us the love for Durood Shareef. آمين
