عن أبى هريرة رضي الله عنه قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لا تجعلوا بيوتكم قبورا ولا تجعلوا قبرى عيدا وصلوا على فإن صلاتكم تبلغنى حيث كنتم (ابو داود رقم 2044)
Hadhrat Abu Hurayrah (Radhiallahu Anhu) reports that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: “Do not make your homes into graveyards (i.e. Recite Qur’an and perform salaah in your home so that the home does not be a place void of Aa’maal as is the case of the graveyard), and do not make my grave a place of festivity, and recite durood upon me, for certainly your durood reaches me (via the angels) from wherever you may be.
Saved from the Discomfort of Death due to Abundant Durood
In “Nuzhatul Majaalis”, the following incident is related:
Once, a man went to visit a seriously ill person at the time when he was in the throes of death. He asked the sick man, “How do you find the bitter pangs of death at this moment of departure?” He replied, “I do not feel any discomfort at all. I heard the Ulama mention that the one who recites abundant Durood upon Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) will find himself safe from the discomfort of death at the moment of passing away.” (Fazaail-e-Durood Pg. 181)
