Shaikhul Hadīth Hazrat Moulana Muhammad Zakariyya Sahib رحمه الله has written in the Virtues of Durood that among the Muslim mystics, there is one who has narrated the following incident. He says; “I used to know a person called Mistah. During his lifetime he was unmindful of his religion, most negligent in practice and not fearful of committing sins. After his death I happened to see him in a dream. I asked him what happened to him with Allah.”
He told me; “Allah pardoned me.”
I asked; “For which of your deeds was that?”
He replied; “Once I was writing a Hadīth from a Muhaddith. When my tutor recited Salaat (Alan Nabi صلى الله عليه وسلم), I also recited it aloud. Hearing my loud voice, the whole gathering did the same. For that Allah pardoned all those who were present.” (Qowlul Badee)
يَا رَبِّ صَلِّ وَسَلِّمْ دَائِمَاً أَبَداً عَلَىْ حَبِيْبِكَ خَيْرِ الْخَلْقِ كُلِّهِمِ
“O Sustainer, shower Salaat and Salaam forever and ever upon Your beloved, who is the best of all creation.”
(Virtues Of Salaat Alan Nabi صلى الله عليه وسلم p.154)
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.
