عن أبي سعيد الخدري عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: لا يجلس قوم مجلسا لا يصلون فيه على رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم إلا كان عليهم حسرة وإن دخلوا الجنة لما يرون من الثواب (شعب الإيمان، الرقم: ١٤٧٠، وهو حديث صحيح كما في القول البديع صـ ٣١٧)
Hazrat Abu Sa’eed Khudri رضي الله عنه reports that Hazrat Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “People do not sit in any gathering in which they do not recite Durood upon Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم except that it will be a means of regret for them (on the day of Qiyaamah), even though they may enter Jannah, on account of them seeing the reward (which they failed to acquire by neglecting to recite Durood).”

Abundant Durood Brings the Forgiveness of Allah Ta’ala
Shaikh Ibnu Hajar Makki رحمه الله reports that a saintly person was once seen in a dream after his demise. He was questioned regarding his condition in the Hereafter. The saintly person replied,
“Allah Ta’ala جل جلاله had mercy upon me, pardoned my sins and admitted me into Paradise.”
When asked the reason for this he replied, “The angels were commanded to count my sins and the number of Durood I had recited upon Nabi صلى الله عليه وسلم . When it was seen that the number of my Durood exceeded the number of my sins, Allah Ta’ala جل جلاله addressed the angels and said, ‘This is sufficient (for his forgiveness). Let no further reckoning take place. Usher him into Paradise.’” (Al-Durrul Mandhood pg.183)
(The Gift of Durood and Salaam pg.122)
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 Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم on our behalf such a reward that is due to Him.
