Hadeeth

Hadhrat Abu Hurayra (RA) says that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam said, “Whoever sends one blessing upon me, Allah sends ten blessings upon him.”

Explanation

One blessing and mercy from Allah Ta’ala is sufficient for the whole world, let alone ten blessings in return for sending durood once. What could be a greater virtue of durood that one is granted ten blessings from Allah for sending one durood? How fortunate are those elders who send one hundred and twenty five thousand duroods upon Rasulullah Sallallahu alayhi wassalam every single day, just as I have heard regarding some of the elders of my family. Rasulullah Sallallahu alayhi Wassalam said, “Whoever sends durood upon me once, Allah Ta’ala sends ten mercies upon him. It is your choice to send as little or as much as you wish.”

Read a Book on Seerah for at least 10 minutes!

📝 To do

🗓️ It’s Friday and so we need to read lots of durood today. The shortest and the easiest Durood is Sallalahu Alayhi Wassalam

🎯Our target is to read more than 500 durood before maghrib on friday inshaallah…

⏱️ Lets get reading and earning rewards!
