Receiving Ten Blessings

عن أبي هريرة قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم من صلى علي مرة واحدة كتب الله عز وجل له بها عشر حسنات (مسند أحمد، الرقم: 7561، ورجاله رجال الصحيح غير ربعي بن إبراهيم وهو ثقة مأمون كما في مجمع الزوائد، الرقم: 17282)

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “Whoever sends salutations upon me once, Allah Ta‘ala will send salutations (i.e. reward him and shower His mercy) upon him ten times.”

Remaining in the Company of Those who Recite Durood

Hazrat Sa’d Zanjaani (rahimahullah) once mentioned the following:

There was an ascetic man who lived among us in Egypt. His name was Abu Sa’eed Al-Khayyaat (rahimahullah). He would neither mix and socialize with people, nor would he participate in any of the gatherings and majaalis that would be held. However, after some time, he began to punctually attend the majlis (gathering) of Ibnu Rasheeq (rahimahullah).

When the people noticed this, they were surprised and asked him why he was attending the majlis of Ibnu Rasheeq (rahimahullah). Abu Sa’eed Al-Khayyaat (rahimahullah) replied, “I saw Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) in a dream and he said to me, ‘Attend the majlis of Ibnu Rasheeq, as he sends abundant salutations upon me.’” (Al-Qowlul Badee’ Pg. 131 from At-Targeeb lit-Taimi)

The Stone that Would Make Salaam to Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam)

Hazrat Jaabir bin Samurah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “Indeed, I recognize a stone in Makkah Mukarramah that would make Salaam to me before I received nubuwwah. Indeed, I recognize that stone even now.” (Saheeh Muslim#2277)
