عن جابر رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال من قال حين ينادي المنادي اللهم رب هذه الدعوة القائمة والصلاة النافعة صل على محمد وارض عني رضاء لا سخط بعده استجاب الله له دعوته (مجمع الزوائد رقم١٨٧٥)
Hazrat Jabir رضي الله عنه narrates that Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “whoever recites the following dua;
اَلَّلهُمَّ رَبَّ هَذِهِ الدَّعْوَةِ الْقَائِمَةِ وَالصَّلَاةِ النَّافِعَةِ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَارْضَ عَنِّيْ رِضَاءً لَا سَخطَ بَعْدَهُ
O Allah Rabb of this established call and beneficial salaah! Send salutations (shower Your mercy) upon Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and grant me Your pleasure after which You will never be displeased with me.
after the Azan and thereafter makes Dua to Allah Ta’ala جل جلاله, his Dua will be accepted”
(The Gift of Durood and Salaam pg.95)

A Dream of a Palestinian Woman
She says that she was extremely grieved that night, just as all the Muslims were extremely grieved. She resorted to the Dhikr of Allah, sending Salawaat on Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم , performing Salah, engaging in Du’a, crying in utmost humility before Allah Ta’ala
She then says, “I fell asleep that night and I saw Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم sitting in the courtyard of Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa whilst accompanied by a man, and the Muslims were all sitting around him complaining about their plight, weakness, disgrace, and the extreme punishment which they were experiencing in Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, China, India, and all other places.
Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم just sat there smiling.
He said to them, ‘You will most definitely enter Jannah in large groups!’ Then he said, ‘Rejoice! Most definitely the assistance of Allah is forthcoming!’
A man asked him, ‘O Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم, when will this success come?’ Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم said, ‘Definitely Shahaadah (martyrdom) in the path of Allah is the real success!’
He صلى الله عليه وسلم then began narrating to them the hardships which he and the Sahaabah رضي الله عنهم experienced in Makkah when they initially began calling people towards Allah; the punishment, the boycott, the hunger, and then the Hijrah. In this manner Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم encouraged them to ensue these difficulties with patience.
The man asked again, ‘When will this success come?’ Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم again replied, ‘Definitely Shahaadah (martyrdom) in the path of Allah is the real success!'”
She then says, “I then saw an army with him, so great and vast that it was impossible to count their numbers. Their bodies were muscular, and their faces were glowing with Noor (divine effulgence). They had swords, spears, and scythes with them. Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم then said, ‘You will be assisted with this army.’ He began indicating to this army to kill these people, so they began killing the Jews and fiercely slicing through their bodies, cutting them to pieces.
The Muslims thereafter became extremely pleased with the assistance of Allah.”
She then asked Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم in the dream, “Are you really Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah?” Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم replied, “By my Rabb, I am your Nabi Muhammad!”
The dream then ended.
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 اللہُ 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.”
