Book Name:Esal-e-Sawab Ki Barakaten
Du’a of forgiveness for conveying Sawab which brings about peace for his parents in the grave.
It has been narrated that once someone had a dream in which he saw that all the dead came out of their graves and started collecting something hastily on the earth, but one of them was doing nothing; he was not collecting anything. That person asked him [the dead person]: What are they collecting? The dead person replied: They are collecting the blessings of the Sadaqah, Du’a and reward of the recitation of the Holy Quran which the living people send to grave dwellers. He again asked: Why are you not collecting? The dead person replied: I am not collecting because one of my sons is Haafiz of Quran who sells Halvah at such-and-such a market; he recites one Holy Quran daily and conveys its Sawab to me. Next morning he went to the same market and saw a young man selling Halvah; while selling Halvah his lips were moving. He asked the young man: What are you reading? He replied: I am reciting the Holy Quran. I recite a Holy Quran daily and convey its Sawab to my parents. After some time, he once again saw the dead of the same graveyard collecting something in his dream. This time the person, whose son used to convey the Sawab of a Quran daily, was also busy collecting something. Having seen him he was very astonished. In the meantime, he woke up. Next morning he went to the same market and asked about the young man. Upon asking he was informed that the young man who used to sell Halvah has passed away too. (Raud-ur-Riyaheen, pp. 177)
