1. 4. DUROOD-E-SHAFI’I
ALLAHUMA SALLI ALA MUHAMMADIN KULLAMA ZAKARAHUZ ZAAKIRUNA WA KULLAMA
GHAFALA UN ZIKRIHIL GHAFILUN.
“O Allah! Shower blessings on Muhammad and his children whenever he is remembered by
those who remember him, and shower blessings on Muhammad and family whenever he is not
remembered by the negligent, and grant him peace constantly in abundance”.
This Durood Shareef is called Durood-e-Shafi’i because Hadrat Imam Shafi’i (radi Allahu anhu)
used to recite it constantly and he received glad tidings of Jannah in this world. This Durood
Shareef is of a very great significance. It brings tremendous prosperity, health, happiness and
success in this and the next world.
Hadrat Allama Sakhavi (radi Allahu anhu) has written in his book that Abdullah bin Abdul Hakam
saw Hadrat Imam Shafi’i (radi Allahu anhuma) in a dream after his death and inquired about life
after death. Imam Shafi’i (radi Allahu anhu) told him that because of the continuous recitation of
the above Durood Shareef, Allah Ta’ala gave him the most exalted position of the highest grade
in Heaven and forgave him. Hadrat Imam Muzni (radi Allahu anhu) has also narrated exactly the
same story.
This Durood Shareef is of a very great significance. It brings tremendous prosperity, health and
happiness and success in this world and the Aakirah.
