Excellence of reciting Durood

The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated:

اِنَّاللّٰہَ  وَکَّلَ  بِقَبْرِیْ  مَلَکًا اَعْطَاہُ  اَسْمَاعَ  الْخَلَائِقِ  فَلَا یُصَلِّیْ  عَلَیَّ  اَحَدٌ
اِلٰی  یَوْمِ  الْقِیَامَۃِ اِلَّا اَبْلَغَنِیْ  بِاِسْمِہٖ  وَ اِسْمِ  اَبِیْہِ  ہذَا فُلانُ  بْنُ  فُلانٍٍ قَدْ صَلّٰی  عَلَیْکَ

‘No doubt, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has appointed an angel upon my grave who has been granted the ability to hear the voice of every creature. So, whomsoever recites Durood Shareef upon me until the Day of Judgement, the angel presents to me that person’s name along with his father’s name (and says): ‘So and so has recited this Durood Shareef upon you.’ (Majma’-uz-Zawaid, Kitab-ul-Ad’iya, vol. 10, pp. 251, Hadees 17291)

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! Before listening to the Bayan, let’s first of all make good intentions for attaining the Divine pleasure and earning rewards. The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said, ‘نِيَّةُ الۡمُؤۡمِنِ خَيۡرٌ مِّنۡ عَمَلِهٖ’ The intention of a Muslim is better than his deed. (Al-Mu’jam-ul-Kabeer, vol. 6, pp. 185, Hadees 5942)

An important point

For righteous and permissible work, the more we make good intentions, the more we attain reward.

Intentions of listening to Bayan

1. Lowering my eyes, I will listen to the Bayan attentively.

2. I will sit in Attahiyyaat position as long as possible with the intention of showing respect for religious knowledge.
