عن محمد بن يحيى بن حبان عن أبيه عن جده حبان بن منقذ أن رجلا قال يا رسول الله أجعل ثلث صلاتی عليك قال: نعم إن شئت قال:الثلثين قال: نعم قال: فصلاتي كلها قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: إذن يكفيك الله ما أهمك من أمر دنياك وآخرتك (المعجم الكبير للطبراني، الرقم: 3574)
Hazrat Habbaan bin Munqiz reports that a certain Sahaabi once asked Hazrat Rasulullah صلی الله علیه وسلم, “O Rasul of Allah صلی الله علیه وسلم should I devote one-third of the time I have allocated for dua to recite Durood upon you?” Rasulullah replied, “Yes, if you wish.” The Sahaabi then asked, “Should I devote two-thirds of that time for reciting Durood upon you?” Rasulullah again replied, “Yes, if you wish.” The Sahaabi then asked, “Should I devote all of that time for reciting Durood upon you?” Rasulullah responded, “If you do Allah will suffice you of every need which you have (and you would have asked for in your dua), whether it relates to your dunya or your. Aakhirah.”

The Author of Dalaailul Khairaat
It is mentioned regarding the author of Dalaailul Khairaat that he once set out on a journey. During the journey, he required water to perform wudhu. Subsequently, he came across a well, but due to not having a bucket and rope, he could not draw out the water from the well. Out of concern for his salaah, he became extremely worried. While in this state, a young girl (who was not yet baaligh) saw him and came to him. She asked him what the matter was, and he explained to her the problem. She immediately spat into the well whereupon the water rose to the top of the well by itself. Witnessing this miracle performed by the young girl, he was overcome by surprise and thus asked the girl, “How did you perform this miracle?” The girl replied, “This was through the blessings of the Durood which I have recited upon Nabi صلی الله علیه وسلم It was this miracle that motivated him to write the book Dalaailul Khairaat.
Allaamah Zarqad رحمه الله reports that upon the demise of the author of Dalaailul Khairaat, the fragrant smell of musk and amber used to spread forth from the grave. This was due to the blessings of the Durood.

Hazrat Shaikhul Hind’s رحمه الله attachment to Dalaailul Khairaat
During the opressive British rule in India, Hazrat Shaikhul Hind, Moulana Mahmoodul Hasan رحمه الله and his five companions were arrested and detained in Jeddah for approximately one month. They were then taken to a prison camp in Cairo, Egypt. Hazrat رحمه الله was the first one to be taken for interrogation. After interrogation Hazrat رحمه الله was sent to a holding cell all alone whilst the others were in one cell. Hazrat رحمه الله requested the warden to bring his Quran Shareef, ‘Dalaailul Khairaat’, his tasbeeh and his water jug. Throughout this time, he did not even lie down on a bed. He kept a blanket on the ground where he sat and recited the Quran Shareef, made Zikr, performed Salaah and read from the the Durood book ‘Dalaailul Khairaat’. He brightened the darkness of his cell with the noor of Zikrullah and Durood Shareef.

Calamities and Difficulties Immediately Alleviated and Removed
Hazrat Shaikh Moulana Muhammad Zakariyya رحمه الله once mentioned:
“This is a proven fact and I have firm confidence and belief in it. It has also been proven through the experience of the pious servants of Allah. This fact is that whenever any locality is undergoing difficulties and calamities, and they resort to reciting durood shareef in abundance and making excessive zikr (remembrance of Allah Ta‘ala, performing salaah, reforming their actions), the calamities and difficulties are immediately alleviated and removed.” (Qutbul Aqtaab Hazrat Sheikhul Hadith Moulana Muhammad Zakariyya رحمه الله pg.400)

يَا رَبِّ صَلِّ وَسَلِّمْ دَائِمَاً أَبَدًا عَلَىْ حَبِيْبِكَ خَيْرِ الْخَلْقِ كُلِّهِمِ
“O Sustainer, shower Salaat and Salaam forever and ever upon Your beloved, who is the best of all creation.”
جَزَی اللهُ عَنَّا نَبِيَّنَا مُحَمَّدًا صَلَّی اللهُ عَلَیْه وسَلَّمَ بِمَا هُوَ أَھْلُهُ
May Allah Ta’ala جل جلاله reward our Nabi Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم on our behalf such a reward that is due to Him.
