عن أنس عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: ما من عبدين متحابين في الله يستقبل أحدهما صاحبه فيصافحه ويصليان على النبی صلى الله عليه وسلم إلا لم يفترقا حتى تغفر ذنوبهما ما تقدم منهما وما تأخر (مسند أبي يعلى الموصلي رقم: 2960)
Hazrat Anas bin Malik رضي الله عنه reports that Hazrat Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “When two Muslims who love one another (for the sake of Allah Ta’ala جل جلاله ) meet each other and send Durood (salutations) upon Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم, then before they depart from one another, their future and past (minor) sins are forgiven.”

Remaining in the Company of Those who Recite Durood
Hazrat Sa’d Zanjaani رحمه الله once mentioned the following:
There was an ascetic man who lived among us in Egypt. His name was Abu Sa’eed Al-Khayyaat رحمه الله. He would neither mix and socialize with people, nor would he participate in any of the gatherings and majalis that would be held. However, after some time, he began to punctually attend the majlis (gathering) of Ibnu Rasheeq رحمه الله. When the people noticed this, they were surprised and asked him why he was attending the majlis of Ibnu Rasheeq رحمه الله. Abu Sa’eed Al-Khayyaat رحمه الله replied, “I saw Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم in a dream and he said to me, ‘Attend the majlis of Ibnu Rasheeq رحمه الله, as he sends abundant salutations upon me.’

Reflections
Shafeequl Ummah, Hazrat Moulana Muhammad Farooq Sahib رحمه الله has said that by virtue of one reciting Durood in abundance, this causes a sweet smell to emanate from oneself.
يَا رَبِّ صَلِّ وَسَلِّمْ دَائِمَاً أَبَدًا عَلَى 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 اللہُ 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.
