The healing properties of Durood Shareef

Alhaj Mohammed Momtaz Ali Khan was a renowned individual in the city of Meerat in present-day India. He was once afflicted with incurable hernia. Despite all available treatment, the hernia did not heal.

During this period, there was a very pious Muslim dervish by the name of Mia Bedarshah in Bharatpur kingdom. The dervish advised Momtaz Ali Khan to recite 5000 Durood Shareefs every day for 40 days in a state of complete wudu. In addition, all food was to be cooked in a state of wudu during this time.

Before the completion of 40 days, Momtaz Ali Khan was blessed with the auspicious vision of the Beloved Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) in a dream. In the dream, Momtaz Ali Khan offered the Isha salaat (night prayer) with the Beloved Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam).

In the morning, the dervish informed Momtaz Ali Khan that he had attained his goal. In other words, Momtaz Ali Khan was cured of hernia.

The following is the blessed Durood Shareef:

Allahumma Salli ala Muhammadin wa ala ale Muhammadin b’iadadi kulli shay’in ma’lumillak
