Benefits of Durood in abundance

Abdur Rahim Ibn Abdur Rahman narrates that he was once very seriously hurt after he fell in the bath. He developed pain and swelling because of the fall. As a consequence, it became increasingly difficult for Abdur Rahman to rest and sleep at night.

One night when Abdur Rahman fell asleep momentarily, he was blessed with the vision of the Beloved Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) in a dream. In the dream, Abdur Rahman only stated: “Oh Rasool Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam)! At this, the Beloved Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) replied without delay: “Your recital of Durood in abundance has made me restless.”

Abdur Rahman woke up after this. His pain had already gone by this time.
