Durood being Weighed on the Scale of Full Measure

عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم من سره أن يكتال بالمكيال الأوفى إذا صلى علينا أهل البيت فليقل اللهم صل على محمد النبي الأمي وأزواجه أمهات المؤمنين وذريته وأهل بيته كما صليت على آل إبراهيم إنك حميد مجيد  (سنن أبي داود، الرقم: ٩٨٢، وسكت عليه هو والمنذري في مختصره، الرقم: ٩٨١)

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) narrates that Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “The one who wishes that his Durood be weighed on the scale that weighs in full (thereby receiving full reward for the Durood) when he recites Durood upon us, the Ahlul Bayt, then he should recite the following Durood:

اَللّٰهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ النَّبِيِّ الْأُمِّيِّ وَأَزْوَاجِهِ أُمَّهَاتِ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ وَذُرِّيَّتِهِ وَأَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلٰى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيْمَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيْدٌ مَجِيْدٌ

O Allah Ta‘ala! Send salutations upon Muhammad (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam), the unlettered Nabi, his wives, the Mothers of the Believers, his progeny and his household, as You sent salutations upon the family of Ebrahim (‘alaihis salaam), indeed You are most worthy of praise, most exalted.

Acquiring Forgiveness through Writing Durood

Hazrat Ibnu Abi Sulaimaan (rahimahullah) mentions:

I saw my father in a dream after his demise. I asked, “How did Allah Ta‘ala deal with you?” He replied, “Allah Ta‘ala forgave me.” I asked, “Due to which deed did He forgive you?” He answered, “I used to write Durood after the name of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) in every Hadith.” (Jilaa-ul-Afhaam Pg. 411)
