يحكى عن الشيخ أبي الحسن الشاذلي رحمه الله أنه كان ببعض المفازات فأتته السباع فخافهم على نفسه ففزع إلى الصلاة على النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم مستندا إلى ما صح من أنه من صلى عليه صلى الله عليه عشرا وأن الصلاة من الله رحمة ومن رحمه الله كفاه كل مهمة فنجا بذلك صلى الله عليه وسلم تسليما كثيرا (القول البديع ص265)

It has been reported regarding Sheikh Abul Hasan Shaazili (rahimahullah) that on one occasion, he was in the wilderness when wild animals began to approach him. Fearing that these animals would harm him, he immediately resorted to reciting durood and salaat upon Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam). The reason for him doing this is that it is reported in the authentic Ahaadith that when a person sends one salaat upon Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam), Allah Ta‘ala sends ten salaat (i.e. mercies) upon him, and the one upon whom Allah Ta‘ala showers His mercy, Allah Ta‘ala suffices him for all the worries and difficulties that he faces. Hence, through reciting durood upon Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam), Sheikh Shaazili (rahimahullah) was saved from the wild animals.
