Dua to be Recited after Azaan

عن عبد الله بن مسعود رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال : ما من مسلم يقول إذا سمع النداء فيكبر المنادي فيكبر ثم يشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وأن محمدا رسول الله فيشهد على ذلك ثم يقول اللهم أعط محمدا الوسيلة واجعل في عليين درجته وفي المصطفين محبته وفي المقربين داره إلا وجبت له شفاعة النبي صلى الله عليه و سلم يوم القيامة (شرح معاني الآثار، الرقم: ٨٩٤)

Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas’ood (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “Whichever Muslim hears the azaan being called out, and replies to the takbeer of the muazzin by reciting takbeer, and replies to the shahaadat of the muazzin by reciting shahaadat, and thereafter he recites the following dua, he will be granted the intercession of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) on the day of Qiyaamah:

اللهُمَّ أَعْطِ مُحَمَّدًا الْوَسِيلَةَ , وَاجْعَلْ فِي عِلِّيِّينَ دَرَجَتَهُ وَفِي الْمُصْطَفَينَ مَحَبَّتَهُ وَفِي الْمُقَرَّبِينَ دَارَهُ

O Allah Ta‘ala, bless Muhammad (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) with waseelah (the right of interceding for the entire creation on the day of Qiyaamah), and elevate his stage to the highest stage in illiyeen (in Paradise), and bless the hearts of Your chosen servants with his special love, and bless the extremely pious of Your servants with his companionship in the Hereafter.

The Barakah of Durood

The following story is related in “Nuzha”, “There was once a pious person who had fallen seriously ill due to not being able to pass urine. One night he had a dream that he was complaining to Shaikh Shahaabuddeen bin Raslaan (Rahmatullahi Alaihi) (who was a very famous saint and scholar) about the difficulty he was going through. In the dream, the sheikh told him, “How is it that you are ignorant of the cure for all diseases? Commence reciting Durood upon Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) and Allah Ta’ala will bless you with shifaa. The sheikh then told him to recite the following durood:

اَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ وَسَلِّم وَبَارِك عَلَى رُوحِ سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ فِي الْاَرْوَاح وَصَلِّ وَسَلِّم عَلَى قَلبِ سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ فِي القُلُوبِ وَصَلِّ وَسَلِّم عَلَى جَسَدِ سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ فِي الاَجْسَاد وَصَلِّ وَسَلِّم عَلَى قَبْرِ سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ فِي القُبُور

O Allah, from all souls (You have created), bestow Your special mercy, peace and blessings on the mubaarak soul of Hadhrat Sayyiduna Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), and from all the hearts (You have created), bestow Your special mercy and peace on the heart of Hadhrat Sayyiduna Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), and from all the bodies (You have created), bestow Your special mercy and peace upon the body of Hadhrat Sayyiduna Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), and from all the graves (of the creation), bestow Your special mercy and peace upon the grave of Hadhrat Sayyiduna Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam).
