Ihyaaud Deen An Effort to Revive Deen in Totality
عن أبي بردة بن نيار رضي الله عنه قال قال رسول الله صلي الله عليه وسلم من صلى علي من أمتي صلاة مخلصا من قلبه صلى الله عليه بها عشر صلوات ورفعه بها عشر درجات وكتب له بها عشر حسنات ومحا عنه عشر سيئات (السنن الكبرى للنسائى، الرقم: ٩٨٠٩، ورواته ثقات كما في فتح الباري ١١/١٦٧)
Hazrat Abu Burdah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “Whoever from my Ummah conveys one Durood upon me sincerely from his heart, Allah Ta‘ala will bless him with ten mercies, elevate his status in the Hereafter by ten ranks, record ten righteous deeds in his favour and expiate ten of his sins.”
Reciting Abundant Durood Daily
Hadhrat Abul Fadl Khomaani (Rahmatullahi Alaihi) says, “A man from Khurasaan once came to me and said, ‘While I was in Madina Munawwarah I saw Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) in a dream and he said to me, ‘When you go to Hamdaan, convey my salaams to Abul Fadl Zeeruk.’ I then asked Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), ‘O Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), what is the reason for this?’ Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) replied, ‘It is because of the fact that daily he recites these words of durood upon me one hundred times or more.’
ألّلهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ النَّبِيِّ الْأُمِّيِّ وَ عَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ جَزَى اللهُ مُحَمَّدًا صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ سَلَّمَ عَنَّا مَا هُوَ أَهْلُهُ
O Allah, shower salaat upon Hadhrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), the unlettered Nabi; and upon the family of Hadhrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam). May Allah Ta’ala reward Hadhrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) on our behalf on our behalf such a reward that he is worthy of.
Abul Fadl (Rahmaullahi Alaihi) further states, “The man swore by Allah Ta’ala that he never knew me before the time that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) gave him the message. I then wanted to give him some grain, but he refused to accept it saying, ‘It is not my intention to sell the message that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) gave me.’ The man then departed and I never saw him again. (Fazaail Durood)
