وعن ابن عباس أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم قال البركة مع أكابركم رواه الطبراني في الأوسط والحاكم وقال صحيح على شرط مسلم (الترغيب والترهيب 1/148)
Hadhrat Abdullah ibn Abbaas (Radhiyallahu Anhuma) reports that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: “Barakah (blessings) lies with your elders.” (i.e. in acquiring ilm from them, respecting them and emulating them in matters of Deen).
Hazrat Abdullah bin Amr bin Aas (radhiyallahu ‘anhuma) reported, “Whoever sends salutations upon Nabi (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) once, Allah Ta‘ala and His angels will send seventy mercies and blessings upon him in return of his one Durood. Hence, whoever wishes to increase his Durood should increase it, and whoever wishes to decrease his Durood should decrease it (i.e. if he wants to earn great rewards, then he should increase his Durood).”
