Durood

Once Jibrail (alaihissalam) came to Prophet (sulallah alaih waalihe wasalum) said: Allah has given me the knowledge to count every leaf on earth, every fish in the sea, every star in the sky and every particle of sand on earth, but there's only one thing i cant count. Prophet (SulAllah alaihe waalhe Wasulum ) asked Jibrail {Alaihe Salam}:what is it? Jibrail {Alaihe Salam} replied..."When one of your Ummati recited Durood ow Salaams to you the blessings Allah showers upon him becomes impossible for me to count."

Power of Durood Sharif

"It has been narrated in the hadith by Hazrat Abdul Rahman Bin Auf (May Allah Almighty be pleased with him ) that 'One day when Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) left his house, i followed close behind. He went to an orchard where he offered prayers and prostrated so long that i started weeping thinking that he had expired.

The Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) raised his head from sijda and called me and asked what had happened to me. I told him that as he had been in sijda for a very long time, i had thought that he had expired and i won't see him again. The Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) said that he had prostrated himself before Allah Almighty so long as a token of thanks giving because He had granted him a reward, which was that if anyone, from his Ummah will recite Durood Sharif once,Allah Almighty will record 10 Virtues in his favour and erase 10 of his/her Sins'".
