One day somebody came [to the blessed court of the Beloved and Blessed Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم], and the Noble Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم made him sit in between himself and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddeeq رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ. The respected companionsرَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُمwere surprised as to who that honoured person was. When he had left, the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, ‘When he recites Durood upon me, he does so in these words.’ (Al-Qaul-ul-Badi’, pp. 125)

6. Durood-e-Shafa’at

اَللّٰہُمَّ  صَلِّ  عَلٰی  مُحَمَّدٍ  وَّ  اَنْزِلْہُ  الْمَقْعَدَ الْمُقَرَّبَ  عِنْدَكَ  یَوْمَ الْقِیَامَۃِ

The Greatest Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated: The one who recites this Durood upon me, my intercession will become Wajib for him.

(Attargheeb Wattarheeb, vol. 2, pp. 329, Hadees 31)

1. Good deeds for 1000 days

جَزَی  اللّٰہُ  عَنَّا  مُحَمَّدًا  مَا  ھُوَ  اَھْلُہٗ

It is narrated by Sayyiduna Ibn -e- ‘Abbas رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا that the Noble Rasoolصَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated, ‘For the reciter of above supplication, seventy angels write good deeds (in his account) for 1000 days.’

(Majma’-uz-Zawaid, pp. 254, vol. 10, Hadees 17305)

2. An easy way to spend every night in worship

 The Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم  said, ‘If anyone recites the following Du’a three times at night it is as if he has found Layla-tul-Qadr.’ Here is the Du’a:

لَاۤ   اِلٰهَ   اِلَّا  اللّٰهُ  الْحَلِيْمُ  الْكَرِيْمُ

سُبْحٰنَ  اللّٰهِ  رَبِّ  السَّمٰوٰتِ  السَّبْعِ   وَ  رَبِّ  الْعَرْشِ  الْعَظِيْم

Translation: There is none worthy of worship except Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ Who is   ‘حَلِيۡم’ and ‘كَرِيۡم’. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ is ‘سُبۡحَان’, Rab of the seven skies and Rab of the magnificent ‘Arsh.

Remaining Madani pearls of sermon

   *A’la Hadrat, Imam Ahmad Raza Khan رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه has said: When one hears the blessed name of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم during the sermon, he should recite Salat-‘Alan-Nabi in his heart. It is Fard to remain silent during sermon. (Fatawa Razawiyyah (referenced), vol. 8, pp. 365)

   *It is stated in Durr-e-Mukhtar: During the sermon, eating, drinking, talking (even saying سُبۡحٰنَ اللّٰه), replying to someone’s Salam, and telling something righteousness, all are Haraam. (Durr-e-Mukhtar, vol. 3, pp. 39)

   *A’la Hadrat رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْه has said: Walking during the sermon is Haraam. The reverent scholars رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـه even say that if someone enters the Masjid during the sermon, he must stop wherever he is without going ahead. Walking would be an action and no action is permissible during the sermon. (Fatawa Razawiyyah (referenced), vol. 8, pp. 333)
