Forty Durood – Durood 27

اَﻟﺘﱠﺤِﻴﱠﺎتُ اﻟﻄﱠﻴﱢﺒَﺎتُ اﻟﺼﱠﻠَﻮَاتُ ﻟِﻠّﻪِ اَﻟﺴﱠﻼمُ ﻋَﻠَﻴْﻚَ أَﻳــﱡﻬَﺎ اﻟﻨﱠﺒِﻲﱡ وَرَﺣْﻤَﺔُ اﷲِ وَﺑَﺮَكَاﺗُﻪ اَﻟﺴﱠﻼمُ ﻋَﻠَﻴْﻨَﺎ وَ ﻋَﻠَﻰ ﻋِﺒَﺎدِ اﷲِ اﻟﺼﱠﺎﻟِﺤِﻴْﻦَ أَﺷْﻬَﺪُ أَنْ ﻻﱠ إِﻟَﻪَ إِﻻﱠ اﷲُ وَ أَﺷْﻬَﺪُ أَنﱠ ﻣُﺤَﻤﱠﺪًا ﻋَﺒْﺪُﻩُ وَ رَﺳُﻮْﻟُﻪُ

All verbal praises, monetary praises and physical praises are for Allah Ta’ala. May the special peace of Allah Ta’ala descend upon you, O Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), and Allah’s choicest mercies and blessings. May peace descend upon us and upon all the pious servants of Allah Ta’ala. I bear witness that there is no deity except Allah Ta’ala and I bear witness that Hadhrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) is His servant and messenger.

Love for Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam)

During the battle of Badr, Hadhrat Abu Bakr Siddeeq (Radhiallahu Anhu)’s son, Hadhrat Abdur Rahmaan, fought on the side of the disbelievers as he had not yet accepted Islam. Later, after embracing Islam, whilst seated with his father Hadhrat Abu Bakr Siddeeq (Radhiallahu Anhu), he exclaimed, “O my beloved father, during the battle of Badr, you came under my sword a few times. However, considering you being my father, I spared you.” Hadhrat Abu Bakr Siddeeq (Radhiallahu Anhu) spontaneously responded, “Had you only come under my sword during the battle, I would have never spared you, as you were fighting against Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam).”  (Taarikhul Khulafaa)

يَا رَبِّ صَلِّ وَ سَلِّمْ دَائِمًا أَبَدًا عَلَى حَبِيبِكَ خَيرِ الخَلْقِ كُلِّهِمِ
