عن البراء بن عازب رضي الله عنه أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال : من صلى علي كتب الله له بها عشر حسنات، ومحا عنه بها عشر سيئات، ورفع بها عشر درجات، وكن له عدل عشر رقاب رواه ابن أبي عاصم في الصلاة له (القول البديع ص245)
Hazrat Baraa’ bin ‘Aazib رضي الله عنه reports that Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “Whoever recites Durood upon me once, then in lieu of the Durood, Allah Ta‘ala جل جلالهwill record for him ten good deeds, He will erase from him ten sins, He will raise him by ten stages, and the durood will be a means of him earning the reward of setting free ten slaves.”

Saved from Wild Animals through Reciting Durood
It has been reported regarding Shaikh Abul Hasan Shaazili رحمه اللہ that on one occasion, he was in the wilderness when wild animals began to approach him. Fearing that these animals would harm him, he immediately resorted to reciting Durood and Salaat upon Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم.
The reason for him doing this is that it is reported in the authentic Ahaadith that when a person sends one Salaat upon Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم, Allah Ta’ala جل جلاله sends ten Salaat (i.e. mercies) upon him, and the one upon whom Allah Ta’ala جل جلاله showers His mercy, Allah Ta’ala جل جلاله suffices him for all the worries and difficulties that he faces. Hence, through reciting Durood upon Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم, Shaikh Shaazili رحمه اللہ was saved from the wild animals.

Excessive Durood Shareef at the time of Difficulty and Anxiety
Hazrat Doctor Abdul Hayy Arifi رحمه اللہ once mentioned, “Whenever anybody undergoes any difficulty, anxiety, sickness or he has any need then he should make Dua to Allah Ta’ala جل جلاله saying,
“O Allah fulfill this need of mine, Remove the difficulty or sickness of mine.”
However let me tell you a method, through its barakah Allah Ta’ala جل جلاله will most definately fulfill this need; At the time of difficulty a person should read Durood Shareef in abundance. Through the barkat of Durood Shareef Allah Ta’ala جل جلاله will remove that difficulty or anxiety.”
(Islaahi Khutubaat v.6 pg.92)
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.
