وَعَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ يَاسِرٍ رضي الله عنه قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللہِ صلى الله عليه وسلم : إِنَّ ِللهِ مَلَكاً أَعْطَاهُ أَسْمَاعَ الْخَلَائِقِ، فَهُوَ قَائِمٌ عَلَى قَبْرِي إِذَا مِتُّ، فَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يُصَلِّي عَلَيَّ صَلَاةً إِلَّا قَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ صَلَّى عَلَيْكَ فُلَانُ ابْنُ فُلَانٍ، قَالَ : فَيُصَلِّي الرَّبُّ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى عَلَى ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلِ بِكُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ عَشْراً (القول البدیع ص246)
Hazrat Ammaar bin Yaasir رضي الله عنه reports that Sayyiduna Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم said,
“Indeed, Allah Ta‘ala جل جلاله has appointed an angel whom He has given the ability to hear the voices of the entire creation. This angel will remain standing at my blessed grave from the time I pass away. There is no person who will recite Durood upon me once except that this angel will say, “O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم So-and-so, the son of so-and-so, has recited Durood upon you.” Allah Ta‘ala جل جلاله will then shower ten mercies upon that person in exchange of every Durood that he will recite upon me.”
The Scribe of Durood
Hazrat Shaikhul Hadith, Moulana Muhammad Zakariyya رحمه الله mentioned:
“A reliable friend of mine informed me regarding a scribe of Lucknow. He would commence his daily work after writing durood on a sheet of paper which he had reserved for this very purpose. At the time of his death, he was overcome with fear of the Hereafter saying, “What will become of me after I depart this world?” On saying this, a majzoob (saint constantly engaged in the remembrance of Allah Ta‘ala جل جلاله) appeared and said, “Why are you so worried? The sheet of paper (upon which you would write Durood) is with Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم and is being adorned.” (Fazaail Durood Pg. 153)
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 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.
