The Angel that Stands at the Blessed Grave of Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) to Convey the Durood of the Ummah

عن عمار بن ياسر رضي الله عنه قال : قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : إن لله ملكا أعطاه أسماع الخلائق، فهو قائم على قبري إذا مت، فليس أحد يصلي علي صلاة إلا قال : يا محمد صلى عليك فلان ابن فلان، قال : فيصلي الرب تبارك وتعالى على ذلك الرجل بكل واحدة عشرا (رواه الطبراني، ونعيم بن ضمضم ضعيف وابن الحميري اسمه عمران قال البخاري: لا يتابع على حديثه وقال صاحب الميزان: لا يعرف، وبقية رجاله رجال الصحيح كذا في مجمع الزوائد، الرقم: 17292)

Hazrat Ammaar bin Yaasir (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “Indeed, Allah Ta‘ala has appointed an angel whom He has given the ability to hear the voices of the entire creation. This angel will remain standing at my blessed grave from the time I pass away. There is no person who will recite Durood upon me once except that this angel will say, “O Muhammad (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam)! So-and-so, the son of so-and-so, has recited Durood upon you.” Allah Ta‘ala will then shower ten mercies upon that person in exchange of every Durood that he will recite upon me.”

The Scribe of Durood

Hazrat Shaikhul Hadith, Moulana Muhammad Zakariyya (rahimahullah) mentioned:

A reliable friend of mine informed me regarding a scribe of Lucknow. He would commence his daily work after writing durood on a sheet of paper which he had reserved for this very purpose.

At the time of his death, he was overcome with fear of the Hereafter saying, “What will become of me after I depart this world?” On saying this, a majzoob (saint constantly engaged in the remembrance of Allah Ta‘ala) appeared and said, “Why are you so worried? The sheet of paper (upon which you would write Durood) is with Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) and is being adorned.” (Fazaail – e – Durood Pg. 153)
