Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas’ood (Radi Allahu Anhu) reports that Hazrat Rasulullah (SallAllahu alaihi wa Sallam) said, “The person who will be the closest to me (and most deserving of my intercession on the day of Qiyaamah will be the one who used to recite the most Durood upon me in the world.”
Hazrat Abu Umaamah (Radi Allahu Anhu) reports that Hazrat Rasulullah (SallAllahu alaihi wa Sallam) said, “Recite abundant Durood upon me every Jumuah, for certainly the Durood of my Ummah are presented before me every Jumuah. The one who recites the most Durood upon me will be the closest to me (on the day of Qiyaamah).”
