عن رجل من الصوفية قال : رأيت الملقب بمسطح بعد وفاته وكان ماجنا في حياته فقلت له : ما فعل الله بك قال : غفر لي فقلت : بأي شيء قال : استمليت على بعض المحدثين حديثا مسندا فصلى الشيخ على النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فصليت أنا معه ورفعت صوتي بالصلاة على النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فسمع أهل المجلس فصلوا عليه فغفر لنا في ذلك اليوم كلنا أخرجه ابن بشكوال (القول البديع ص259)

A certain pious person narrated the following incident: I once saw the person who was known by the title ‘Mistah' in a dream after he passed away. He was a sinful person during his lifetime. On seeing him in the dream, I asked him, “How did Allah Ta‘ala deal with you?” He replied, “Allah Ta‘ala forgave me” I asked him, “On account of which action?” He answered, “On one occasion, I asked a certain Muhaddith to recite a Hadith to me with its chain to Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam). On taking the blessed name of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam), the Muhaddith recited durood upon him. I also recited durood upon Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) in a loud tone. Hearing me recite durood aloud, all the people who were present in the gathering also recited durood upon Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam). At that moment, Allah Ta‘ala forgave the sins of each and every one of us.”

يَا رَبِّ صَلِّ وَسَلِّمْ دَائِمًا اَبَدًا عَلَى حَبِيْبِكَ خَيْرِ الْخَلْقِ كُلِّهِمِ
