عن عمر بن الخطاب رضي الله عنه قال : إن الدعاء موقوف بين السماء والأرض لا يصعد منه شيء حتى تصلى على نبيك صلى الله عليه و سلم (الترمذي رقم 486)
Hazrat ‘Umar (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) narrates, “Duas remain suspended between the heavens and the earth. It does not proceed towards the heavens as long as Durood on Nabi (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) has not been recited (i.e. there is no guarantee for its acceptance).”
Failing to Write Durood upon Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam)
Hazrat Hasan bin Moosa Al-Hadrami (rahimahullah), who is well known as Ibnu Ujainah (rahimahullah), relates:
I used to write Ahaadith, and in my haste, I used to forget to write Salaat on Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) at the places where the name of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) appeared. Thereafter, I saw Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) in a dream. He said to me, “How is it that you fail to write Salaat with my name in the manner that Abu Amr Tabari (rahimahullah) does?”
When I awoke, I felt greatly distressed and filled with anguish, and there and then I made a resolution that in future, whenever I write down any Hadith, I shall certainly write “(sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam)”. (Al-Qurbah Pg. 124, Al-Qowlul Badee’ Pg. 492)
