The Blessing of Reciting Abundant Durood
Sa’d Zanjaani (rahimahullah) once mentioned the following:
There was an ascetic man who lived among us in Egypt, his name was Abu Sa‘eed Al-Khayyaat. He would neither mix and socialize with people, nor would he participate in any of the gatherings and majaalis that would be held. However, after some time, he began to punctually attend the majlis of ibn Rasheeq (rahimahullah). When the people noticed this, they were surprised and asked him why he was attending the majlis of ibn Rasheeq (rahimahullah). Abu Sa‘eed Al-Khayyaat (rahimahullah) replied, “I saw Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) in a dream and he said to me, ‘Attend the majlis of ibn Rasheeq (rahimahullah), as he sends abundant salutations upon me.’”
