عن سهل بن سعد رضي الله عنه قال: جاء رجل إلى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فشكا إليه الفقر وضيق العيش أو المعاش، فقال له رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: إذا دخلتَ منزلك فسلِّم إن كان فيه أحدٌ أو لم يكن فيه أحدٌ، ثم سلِّم عليَّ واقرأ قل هو الله أحد مرة واحدة. ففعل الرجل فأدَرَّ الله عليه الرزق حتى أفاض على جيرانه وقراباته (رواه أبو موسى المديني وسنده ضعيف كما في القول البديع صـ ٢٧٩)
Hazrat Sahl bin Sa’d (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that on one occasion, a Sahaabi came to Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) and complained of poverty and difficulty in earning a livelihood. Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said to this Sahaabi, “When you enter your home then make Salaam, regardless of whether there is anyone in the home or not. Thereafter, send Salaam upon me and recite Qul-Huwallah (Surah Ikhlaas) once.” The Sahaabi did as instructed by Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam), and Allah Ta’ala blessed him with such abundant sustenance that he even began to spend upon his neighbors and relatives.
Saved from Punishment through Reciting Abundant Durood
A man once saw a person in his dream in the most horrific and dreadful form. Upon enquiry from the person as to who he was, the man replied, “I am your evil deeds.” The man then asked, “And how can I be saved from you?” He replied, “By continuously reciting abundant Durood upon Muhammad (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam).” (Al-Qowlul Badee’ Pg. 260)
