Ship remained safe from sinking

Sayyiduna Sheikh Musa Zareerرَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه states: I was travelling with a group of people in a ship. All of a sudden, the ship was overtaken by a storm and started shaking. We were sure that the ship will sink shortly and we will all die. In the meanwhile, I fell drowsy and asleep for a few moments. I saw that Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم came in my dream recited Durood-e-Tunajjina and said to me: ‘You and your companions should recite this Salat 1,000 times.’ When I woke up, I gathered all my friends and started reciting this Salat. We had recited it only 300 times and the storm started to settle down, and it gradually stopped. Sea surface became normal and all those boarded on the ship attained salvation by the virtue of this Salat.

Durood-e-Tunajjina

اَللّٰھُمَّ صَلِّ عَلٰی سَیِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَاۃً تُنَجِّیْنَا بِہَا مِنْ جَمِیْعِ الْاَھْوَالِ وَالْاٰفَاتِ وَتَقْضِیْ لَنَا بِہَا جَمِیْعَ الْحَاجَاتِ وَتُطَہِّرُنَا بِہَا مِنْ جَمِیْعِ السَّیِّئَاتِ وَتَرْفَعُنَابِہَا اَعْلَی الدَّرَجَاتِ وَتُبَلِّغُنَا بِہَا اَقْصَی الْغَایَاتِ مِنْ جَمِیْعِ الْخَیْرَاتِ فِی الْحَیَاۃِ  وَبَعْدَ  الْمَمَاتِ اِنَّكَ عَلٰی کُلِّ شَیْئٍ قَدِیْرٌ

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب              صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic sisters! We should keep reciting Salat and Salam upon the Noble Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم whether it is day or night. We shall not observe heedlessness in this regard at all, because the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has countless favours upon us. He صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم prostrated as soon as he came to this world and the following Du’a was on his lips: ‘رَبِّ ھَبْ لِیْ اُمَّتِی’ i.e. O
