يحكى أن أبا العباس أحمد بن منصور لما مات رآه رجل من أهل شيراز وهو واقف في المحراب بجامع شيراز وعليه حلة وعلى رأسه تاج مكلل بالجوهر فقال له : ما فعل الله بك؟ قال : غفر لي وأكرمني وتوجني وأدخلني الجنة فقال له : بماذا؟ قال : بكثرة صلاتي على رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم رواها النميري وكذا ابن بشكوال في القربة وفي ترجمة جماهر من كتاب الصلة له أيضا (القول البديع ص259)

It is reported regarding Abul ‘Abbaas, Ahmed bin Mansoor, that after he passed away, a man from the inhabitants of Sheeraaz saw him in a dream. In the dream, Ahmed bin Mansoor was standing in the mihraab of the Jaami’ Musjid of Sheeraaz, he was adorned in a set of (beautiful) clothing and had a crown on his head which was decorated with precious stones. The man asked him, “How did Allah Ta‘ala deal with you?” He replied, “Allah Ta‘ala forgave my sins, granted me honor, crowned me with the crown of Paradise and blessed me with entry into Jannah.” The man thus asked, “On account of which action did Allah Ta‘ala honor you with this lofty position?” He replied, “On account of the abundant durood that I would recite on Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam).”
