Hazrat Umar (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that on one occasion, Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) went out to relieve himself and there was no one present to accompany him (to assist him to make wudhu after relieving himself). Hazrat Umar (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) then came out and followed Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) with a utensil (of water). (When he reached Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam),) he found Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) present by a small pond in the state of sajdah. Hazrat Umar (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) then moved away and sat behind Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam). He remained waiting for Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) until Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) lifted his head from sajdah. Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) then mentioned to him, “O Umar, you conducted excellently. You moved away and waited for me when you found me in the state of sajdah. (I had prostrated before Allah Ta‘ala out of gratitude because) Jibreel (‘alaihis salaam) had come to me and said, ‘The one who recites durood upon you once, Allah Ta‘ala will send ten mercies upon him and raise him by ten stages.’” ^[1]
