Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.  (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

Asalam Ule Kum,

I want to ask that is there any Hadith that when a person recites durood sharif it will present to Prophet (SAW) by angles if it is true then where the angles present it to Prophet (SAW). And also when you say Salam at Roza Rasool the Prophet (SAW) replies.

Wasalam

saud

Answer:

Pm replies durood salutations

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Abu Hurairah reported that the Prophet (saws), "Do not turn my grave into a site of festivities, but send salutations to me for your salutations are raised to me wherever you might be." (Related by Abu Daw'ud)

Abu Hurairah reported that the Prophet (saws) said, "When any Muslim sends greetings upon me, Allah returns my soul to me so that I may respond to his greetings." (Related by Abu Dawud)

Allah Subhanah, amongst his many mercies upon His Last and Final Messenger (saws) and his followers, has made an extremely special exception that whenever a believer from Prophet Mohamed’s Ummah recites the supplication of durood upon the Prophet (saws), or sends a greeting of peace and mercy upon the Prophet (saws) when visiting his (saw’s) grave…..Allah Subhanah has arranged for those greetings to be raised up to the Prophet (saws), and the Lord Most Gracious returns the blessed soul of the Prophet (saws) back to him, so that he (saws) may reply to their greetings of peace and mercy.

Abu Hurairah reports that the Prophet (saws) said, "May the nose of the person in whose presence I am mentioned be covered with dirt if he does not invoke blessings upon me.”

Related by Tirmidhi.

Abu Dharr al-Ghaffari narrated that the Prophet (saws) said, 'The most miserly amongst people is the one who fails to invoke blessings upon me when my name is mentioned in his or her presence.’

How exactly the greetings are raised, or how exactly is the soul returned back to the Prophet (saws), or how exactly the Prophet (saws) replies to them, etc. is amongst the knowledge of the ‘unseen’….and that knowledge is known to none save our Lord Most Gracious, Most Merciful. The Lord Most Exalted, Most Majestic does whatever He Wills and Pleases.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

Burhan
