Reciting One Hundred Durood after Fajr and Maghrib
Hazrat Jaabir رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ reports that Hazrat Rasulullah صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ said, "The one who recites one hundred Durood upon me immediately after performing the Fajr Salaah, before speaking, Allah تبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى will fulfill one hundred of his needs. Allah تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى will hasten the fulfillment of thirty needs (in this world), and Allah تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى will keep the fulfillment of seventy in store for the Hereafter, and similar will be the case if one recites the Durood after the Maghrib Salaah (i.e. one will receive the same virtue)." The Sahaabah رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُم enquired, "How should we recite Durood upon you, O Rasul of Allah صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ?" Rasulullah صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ instructed the Sahaabah رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُم to recite the following Durood one hundred times:
إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَمَلئِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّوْنَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ يَأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوْا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيمًا اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّد
Secondly, when reciting this durood, do we read the ayat as well or only اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّد
Q: We know that Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) was sent as a mercy for everyone from a verse in the Quran in Surah al Anbiya, verse 107. If he is mercy then why do we need to send salutations and mercy upon him?
Q: Is this correct? Is it permissible to forward to others?
