Importance of Darood

 DUROOD SHAREEF IN THE LIGHT OF A QUR’ANIC VERSE

Allah  says in the Qur’aan:

“Undoubtedly Allah and all His angels are sending salutations upon the Nabi....”

Allah  says in the Qur’aan:

  “O you who believe send your Salawaat upon Nabi (pbuh )it and greet him with the Islamic way of greeting.”

Verily Allaah and His angels pray for mercy to be showered upon the Nabi . O you who have Imaan! You also pray for mercy and an abundance of peace to be showered upon him.

DUROOD SHAREEF IN THE LIGHT OF A HADITH

“A miser is he who, when my name is mentioned in his presence, does not send salutations upon me.”(Tirmidhi)

Hadhrat Abu Hurayrah t reports that Rasulullaah  (saw) said, “The person who confers Durood upon me once, Allaah will confer Durood upon him ten times.”( Muslim, Abu Dawood,)

Hadhrat Anas (RA) reports that Rasulullaah (saw) said, “When I am mentioned in front of anyone, he should confer Durood upon me because the person who confers Durood upon me once, Allaah will confer Durood (mercies) upon him ten times.” Another narration adds that together with the ten mercies that will be bestowed upon the person, ten of his sins will also be forgiven and his rank will be elevated ten times.(Nasa'ee and Ibn Hibbaan)

Hadhrat Abdullaah bin Mas'ood (RA) reports that Rasulullaah (saw) said, “The closest person to me on the Day of Qiyaamah will be the one who recited the most Durood for me.”( Tirmidhi and Ibn Hibbaan)

Hadhrat Abdullaah bin Mas'ood (RA) reports that Rasulullaah (saw) said, “Verily Allaah has (appointed) angels who travel throughout (the earth) only to convey to me the Salaams of my Ummah.”( Nasa'ee and Ibn Hibbaan)

Hadhrat Ammaar bin Yaasir (RA) reports that Rasulullaah (saw) said,  “Verily Allaah has (appointed) an angel at my grave who can hear all of creation. Whenever any person conveys Durood to me until the Day of Qiyaamah, this angel conveys it to me together with the name of the person and his father’s name.”( Targheeb.)

Hadhrat Abu Hurayrah (RA) reports that Rasulullaah (saw) said, “When someone confers Durood upon me at my grave, I can actually hear him and when he confers Durood upon me in my absence, it is conveyed to me.”(Bayhaqi)

Hadhrat Ubay bin Ka’b RA) (once asked, “O Rasulullaah (saw) I confer Durood to you in abundance. How much of my time for du’aa should I set aside for (reciting Durood upon) you?” “As much as you please,” Rasulullaah replied. “What about a quarter?” Hadhrat Ubay (RA)   asked. Rasulullaah (saw) responded by saying, “As much as you please, but it would be better for you if you increased.” “Then what about half?” he asked further. “As much as you please, but it would be better for you if you increased,” Rasulullaah (saw) repeated. “Then three quarters?” Hadhrat Ubay (RA). “As much as you please, but it would be better for you if you increased,” Rasulullaah (saw)  responded yet again. Hadhrat Ubay (RA)  then said, “I shall then reserve all of it for you.” “In that case,” Rasulullaah (saw)  remarked, “Your worries will be taken care of and your sins will be forgiven.”( Tirmidhi)

Hadhrat Abu Dardaa (RA)  reports that Rasulullaah (saw) said, “The person who confers Durood upon me ten times in the morning and then ten times in the evening shall receive my intercession on the Day of Qiyaamah.”( Tabraani)
