Recite Durood Shareef in greater numbers

Allama Sakhabi (rahmatullahi alaihe) narrates that one of the spiritual disciples of Sheikh Ibn Arsala (rahmatullahi alaihe) was once blessed with the auspicious vision of the Beloved Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) in a dream. In the dream, the disciple presented the book “Qaul ul-Badi' Fis-Salat-i alal-Habib ish-Shafi'” at the august court of the Beloved Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam). The book was composed by Allama Sakhabi (rahmatullahi alaihe). It describes the great benefits of Durood Shareef.

In the dream, the Beloved Prophet of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) approved the book. Upon learning this, Allama Sakhabi (rahmatullahi alaihe) became very delighted. Allama Sakhabi (rahmatullahi alaihe) narrates that he always hoped that the book would be accepted by Almighty Allah Subhanahu Wa Tala’a and the Beloved Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam). Allama Sakhabi (rahmatullahi alaihe) hoped to derive special spiritual rewards from the book.

Dear reader! Keep reciting Durood Shareef in greater numbers upon the Beloved Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam). Your Durood Shareef is taken to the blessed Rouza and your name is placed at the august court of the Beloved Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam).
