Hazrat sheikh Abu-al-Abbas Marsi (RA) during the day or night if I am deprived for even a single moment from the sight of Hazrat Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him), I would never count myself among sages. We got this blessing of seeing due to reciting durood sharif plentifully.
Plenty of Durood Sharif and the Kiss of Hazrat Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)
Hazrat Abu-bakar Muhammad bin Umar (RA) has said that I was sitting with Abu bakar bin Mujahid (RA) that Shibli (RA) came and Abu-bakar bin Mujahid (RA) stood up for him and performed a pax with him and kissed him between both of his eyes. I said, O my master you do this to Shibli (RA) even though people of Baghdad consider that he is deranged. He said, I did to Shibli what I saw in the gathering of Hazrat Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him). You (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon you)stood up for him and kissed him between both of his eyes. And I said, you (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon you)do this to Shibli (RA), he is deranged. You (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon you) said that Shibli (RA) recites Laqad Jaa-a-qum min rasoolum min anfusikum till the end of the surah and then recites durood sharif. Hazrat says that I asked Shibli (RA) about this and he testified it and described it absolutely as if I had read it. (Al-qaul-ul-badee, 173).
The Blessings of Writing One Lakh Durood Shareef
Hazrat Jaafar bin Abdullah (RA)says that I saw Abu-zara in a dream that he is praying in the heavens with angels. He says, how did you achieve this level? He replied, I have written one lakh hadith with my hand and whenever I used to mention Hazrat Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) I would write salutations for him. And it is a saying of Hazrat Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) that whoever sent durood on me once, Allah sends durood on him for 10 times. (Ibn-e-Asaakar)
The Reward of Reciting Durood Sharif with Plenty
Allama ibn-e-Nauman (RA) has said that many of the scholars who are innumerable, have been seen in a good condition after death. When they were asked about the reason they said that this reward was for sending durood sharif on Hazrat Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him). Saadat-ad-Daarain, 118
The Personality Who Gave Sermon to the Angels
Someone saw Mansoor ibn Amaar in a dream after his death and asked that how did Allah almighty treat you? He replied, Allah Almighty stood me up and asked Are you Mansoor ibn Amaar? I said, O lord of the heavens and earth, I am Mansoor ibn Amaar. He asked again, are you the one who used to spread hatred of the world among the people and were yourself indulged in the world? I said, O Allah, that is how absolutely it was. But whenever I started a sermon in any gathering, I started off with your praise, after that I recited durood on your beloved Hazrat Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him), after that I delivered sermons to people and advised them. On this Allah said, you said the truth and ordered: O angels, keep a rostrum for him in the heavens so that the way he used to describe my greatness to the people, he may describe my greatness to the angels in the heavens too.
(Saadat-ad-daarain, 146)
Seeing the Beloved of Allah Hazrat Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) All the Time
Hazrat Sheikh abu-al-Abbas marsi (RA) has said in the day or night if I get deprived of the sight of Hazrat Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) even for a single moment, I would not count myself among sages. We got this blessing of seeing due to the abundance of durood shareef. (Saadat-ad-Daarain, 414)
How did I achieve the high Status of Hereafter?
Abu zara (RA) was seen after death by hazrat jaffar bin Abdullah (RA) in a dream after his death that he is leading the angels in the heavens in prayers. I asked, O Abu Zaraa, how did you attain this level? He replied, I have written 10 lakh ahdith with my hand and every time I wrote durood with the name of Hazrat Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him). And Hazrat Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) has said that whoever sent durood on me once, Allah sends durood on him 10 times. (Durood Shareef ki Barakaat)
Seeds Became Coins of Gold
Hazrat Sheikh-ul-Islam hazrat baba Fareed ganj Shakar (RA) described the virtues of durood shareef and at once 5 dervishes appeared. They paid their salutations and you (RA) said to sit down. They sat and said we are travellers and we are going for the seeing of khana kaabah, but we do not have any money. Please do us a favor! Listening to this hazrat performed meditation and took a few seeds of dates and raised his head. He recited something on them and gave them to the dervishes. They became anxious that what would they do with those seeds. Sheikh-ul-Islam said, ”Why do you become anxious, look at them at least.” When they saw them they had become gold coins. After all they came to know from Sheikh Badr-ul-Islam (RA) that sheikh-ul-Islam had recited durood shareef on them. And those seeds had converted to gold by the blessings of durood shareef. (Raahat-ul-quloob, 61)
Passing Through Pull-e-Siraat by the Blessings of Durood-shareef
Hazrat Abdul-Rehman bin Samra (RA) says that once upon a time Hazrat Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) came out and said that I saw a strange scene at night that there is a person who walks over the siraat bridge while limping. At times he walks on his knees and at times he gets stuck in something. In the meanwhile he recites durood shareef on me. In the mean while the durood shareef he recited on me reached him and he stood up and so much so that he crossed the siraat bridge. (Badee and Tibraani etc)
