The Abundance of Durood on Friday

Abu Huraira (R.D.) the Shaabi narrattes: The sins of Eighty years of that person will be forgiven who recites the following Durood Eighty times on Friday after Asar Salaah before he gets up from his place. He will also get the Blessings of Eighty years of worship for reciting the Durood.

""Allahumma salli 'alaa muhammadinin nabiyyil ummiyyi wa-ala aalihi wa sallam tasleema"

The pious saint, Shaikh Zakariya (R.A.) used to read the above durood Eighty times every Friday after Asar Salaah punctually and he would emphasise this practice upon his companions.

There are many Ahaadith regarding the virtues of abundantly reciting Durood on the Blessed day of Friday. Abu Darda (R.D.) the Sahaabi narrates that the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) said: Send Blessings (Durood) upon me abundantly on Fridays because the angels visit (me) on this blessed day. And when a person sends Durood upon me, it is presented to me as soon as he completes its recitation. Abu Darda (R.D.) the Sahaabi says, I enquired from the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) "Even after your death?"

The Holy Prophet (S.A.W) replied "Yes, even after my death!". Allah has forbidden the Earth from decaying the Holy bodies of the Prophets of Allah (P.B.U.T) Thus the Prophet of Allah is alive (in His grave) and He is given sustenance.

It has been reported by the Sahabbi, Umar (R.D.) that the holy Prophet (S.A.W) said "Send Durood upon me abundantly in the Bright Night (i.e The night proceeding Friday) and during the Bright Day (i.e Friday) and whenever your Durood is presented before me I pray for you and ask forgiveness for you from Allah".

It has been quoted from Hafiz-Ibn-Qayyim (R.A) "To send Durood upon the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) is more virtuous on Fridays, because Friday is the leader of all the days of the week and the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) is the leader of all creation. Therefore this day (Friday) holds a special particularity of Durood upon the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) which the other days do not hold.

It has been narrated from the Sahaabi Ibn-Abbas (R.D) that the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) said "The person who writes Durood in a book will continuously receive its reward until my name remains in that book."
