The
purpose of Forty Durood and salaam is to establish special love and bond with
our beloved Prophet (Pbuh). Forty Durood and salaam is a litany, which Hazrat Maulana
Ashraf Ali Thanwi Rahmatullahi-alaihi has compiled and from him Hazrat Shaykh Zakariya
Rahmatullahi-alaihi narrates in ‘Fazaail-e-durood Shareef’’.
Hazrat
writes ‘’his late eminence Hazrat Thanwi Rahmatullahi- alaihi has written in
his book ‘Zadu-saeed’ forty Ahadith regarding the Durood and salaam which have
also been referred in his other book ‘Nashrut-Tib’. In order to get the blessings,
which he has mentioned , I am including the forty Durood and salaam written by
various Mashaaikh an example of which is the book ‘Dalaa‘il-ul-Khairaat’. At this place only
those sections are given which have been mentioned in Marfu’ Ahaadith, whether
Haqiqah (real) or hukmiah (imperative). Out of these, twenty-five are for Durood
and fifteen for Salaam. In this way it is a collection of forty Ahadith about
which the Holly Prophet (pbuh) has given a glad tiding :
‘’whosever
conveys forty Ahadith, concerning any chapter of religion to my people, Allah
will raise him with learned people and I will intercede for him.’’
Being
an order (of Allah) there is no doubt in the Durood being a chapter of
religion. Therefore, I hope double blessings for this collection of forty
Ahaadith, one for preaching the Ahaadith and the other for the Durood.
Whosoever
recites these Durood daily then he shall receive all those blessings that have
been promised for each Durood in the Ahaadith.
We
would hope that each Muslim shall fix a
time and make a habit of reading these Durood Shareef every day.
May
the Almighty Allah grant us the the Tawfeeq, the ability and the strength to
gather as many good deeds as possible and to create that special bond between
ourselves and our beloved Holly Prophet
(pbuh).
