“O Allah! Send your blessings and peace on Muhammad, our Master, and on his Progeny and his Companions according to the number of every letter in Quran and let each letter carry thousands of blessings and salutations in it”.
This Durood Shareef is a very sacred one. If it is recited after every prayer, it is said that the reciter will receive the Sawaab equivalent to the recital of the entire Holy Quran. After reading the verses of the Holy Quran, this Durood Shareef should be recited 3 times.
ALLAHUMMA SALLI ALA MUHAMMADIN ABDIKA WA RASOOLIKA WA SALLI ALAL MU’MINEENA WAL MU’MINAATI WAL MUSLIMEENA WAL MUSLIMAATI.This Durood Shareef is a special one. Hadrat Abu Saeed Khudri (radi Allahu anhu), a close companion of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), says that Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) said: “Whoever does not possess wealth to give in charity, should recite this Durood in his Du’a. It will become a source of (spiritual) cleanliness for him”.Hadrat Abu Huraira (radi Allahu anhu) says that the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) said: “Allah has said, ‘If you spend I shall spend on you’”. This means that if you spend your money on others – the poor, sick, needy and the orphan – Allah will give you in abundance. But, what if a man has nothing to give in charity? By reading Durood-e-Sadaqah, it will suffice.
“O Allah! Send blessings on Muhammad, our chief the unlettered Apostle and his Family Thy favours and thy Salutations”.
Hadrat Shah Wali’ullah Dehlvi (radi Allahu anhu) said that his father commanded him to recite the above Durood Shareef as it was the best one.
Hadrat Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu), a close companion of Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), has said that if a person recites this Durood eighty times on Friday (after evening prayers), then his sins equivalent to 80 years will be forgiven.
This is a very important Durood Shareef which brings forth immediate success and satisfaction to the heart and the mind.
Hadrat Zarar bin Auzar (radi Allahu anhu), another companion of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) says that he used to recite this Durood Shareef and fight with the non-believers. In every battle, he saw that success kissed his feet, and he never lost any battle on any day.
ALLHUMMAJ AL SALAWAATIKA WA BARAKAATIKA ALA MUHAMMADININ NABI YI WA AZWAAJIHI UMMAHAATIL MU’MINEENA WAZURRIYATIHI WA AHLI BAYTIHI KAMA SALLAYTA ALA IBRAHIMA INNAKA HAMEEDUM MAJEED. “O Allah! Bestow blessing and bounty on our Prophet and on his wives, who are the Mothers of the Faithful, and on his descendants and on the members of his Household in the manner as Thou conferred blessings on Prophet Ibrahim. Verily, thou art the Praiseworthy and the Glorious”.
Hadrat Ali (radi Allahu anhu) said that if any one wishes that he should get the maximum reward for one Durood alone, then he must recite the above Durood Shareef.
Salawat/Durood Nariya
اَللّٰهُمَّ صَلِّ صَلٰوةً کَامِلَةً وَّ سَلِّمْ سَلَامًا تَامًّا عَلٰی سَیِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدِ نِ الَّذِیْ تَنْحَلُّ بِهِ الْعُقَدُ وَ تَنْفَرِجُ بِهِ الْکُرَبُ وَ تُقْضٰی بِهِ الْحَوَآئِجُ وَ تُنَالُ بِهِ الرَّغَآئِبُ وَ حُسْنُ الْخَوَاتِمِ وَ یُسْتَسْقَی الْغَمَامُ بِوَجْهِهِ الْکَرِیْمِ وَ عَلٰۤی اٰلِهٖ وَ صَحْبِهٖ فِیْ کُلِّ لَمْحَةٍ وَّ نَفَسٍۭ بِعَدَدِ کُلِّ مَعْلُوْمٍ لَّکَ یَا اللّٰه یَا اللّٰه یَا اللّٰه
Transliteration:
Allah-humma sale salawaatan kaamilatan wa sallim salaaman Taa-aman ala'a sayyedinaa Muhammad allazi tanhalo behi al-aqad wa tanfirjo behil kurabo wa tuqzaa behil hawaa ijo wa tunaalo behi al-raqhaaibo wa Husnu-ul-khawa-time wa yus-tas qayel. Ghamaa-mo-be-wajhe-hi al-karime wa ala'a aalehi wa sahbehi Fii kulle Lamhatin wa nafsin baa-dada kulle Maloomin laka yaa Allah yaa Allah yaa Allah.
Translation:
Oh Allah, every moment and every breath, bestow complete and the best blessings and perfect peace, which is endless on Muhammad (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم) our Master and his posterity, and his companions; and may for his sake all our troubles and tortures be over. [May all our] calamities end and all our needs fulfilled, all our cherished desires attained, and good ends vouchsafed and clouds are laden with water through the glorious countenance of the Prophet (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم).
Durood Nariya, also known as Durood Tafreej or Salat-ut-Tafreejiyyah, is one of the most widely recited forms of Salawat (blessings) upon the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in the Muslim world. It is especially popular in South Asia, North Africa, and among Sufi communities, where it is recited individually and in congregational gatherings for the fulfillment of needs, relief from hardship, and spiritual blessing.
The name "Nariya" is generally understood to relate to the concept of relief from "naar" (fire/distress) or difficulty, while "Tafreej" directly means "relief" or "opening up" of hardship — reflecting the core purpose for which this Durood is recited.
The Durood is a single, flowing supplication addressed to Allah, asking for complete and perfect blessings (Salawat) and peace (Salaam) upon Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). It is composed as one continuous sentence, without breaks, which is itself considered part of its unique character.
The Latin transliteration provided renders the Arabic phonetically for those who cannot read Arabic script, allowing them to recite it correctly by sound: "Allahumma salli salawatan kamilatan wa sallim salaman tamman ala sayyidina Muhammad..."
The translation captures the meaning: a request for complete blessings and perfect peace upon Prophet Muhammad, through whom knots (difficulties) are untied, grief is relieved, needs are fulfilled, desires are attained, good endings are secured, and rain (mercy) is sought — all through his noble countenance, along with his family and companions, repeated for every moment and breath, as many times as Allah's knowledge encompasses.
It is worth noting that scholars differ on the origin and authenticity of Durood Nariya. Unlike Quranic verses or verified Hadith texts, this specific wording is a later devotional composition rather than a direct statement of the Prophet (peace be upon him). Some scholars accept its use as a permissible and beneficial form of Salawat given that sending blessings upon the Prophet is itself a recommended act, while others advise caution regarding specific numerical claims of guaranteed outcomes sometimes attributed to it in popular tradition. As with many devotional texts, individuals are generally encouraged to consult local scholars regarding its status and appropriate usage.
Durood Nariya is a devotional supplication combining praise of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) with a plea for relief, fulfillment of needs, and abundant mercy. Its poetic structure, rhythmic repetition, and comprehensive scope — covering worldly relief, spiritual attainment, and a good ending to life — explain its widespread popularity across generations of Muslims seeking comfort and blessing through invoking peace upon the Prophet.
اَللّٰهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلٰی مُحَمَّدِ نِ النَّبِیِّ الْاُمِّیِّ وَ عَلٰی اٰلِهٖ وَ سَلِّمْ تَسْلِیْمًا
Allahumma Salle 'Alaa Muhammadinin Nabiyyil Ummiyyi wa-'Alaa Aalehi wa-sallim Tasleeyma.
"O Allah, bestow Your blessings upon the unlettered Prophet and upon his family; and bestow Your peace upon him and his family."
Aboo Hurayrah radhiyallahu anhu reports:
The person who recites eighty times on the day of Friday (the following durood) immediately after the 'Asr Salat, before standing up from his place, eighty years of his sins will be forgiven by Allah, and the reward equivalent to the worship of eighty years will be written for him.

فرمانِ مصطفٰے
صَلَّی اللہُ عَلَیْہِ وَآلِہٖ وَسَلَّم:
مَنْ صَلَّی صَلَاةَ
الْعَصْرِ مِنْ یَّوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ، فَقَالَ قَبْلَ اَنْ یَّقُوْمَ مِنْ
مَّقَامِہٖ: اَللّٰھُمَّ صَلِّ عَلٰی مُحَمَّدِۨ النَّبِیِّ الْاُمِّیِّ،
وَعَلٰی اٰلِہٖ وَصَحْبِہٖ وَ سَلِّمْ تَسْلِیْمًا- ثَمَانِیْنَ مَرَّةً
غُفِرَتْ لَہٗ ذُنُوْبُ ثَمَانِیْنَ عَامًا، وَکُتِبَتْ لَہٗ عِبَادَةُ

This narration is reported on the authority of Aboo Hurayrah (radhiyallahu anhu), one of the most prolific narrators of Hadith among the companions of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Narrations attributed to him form a substantial portion of the Hadith corpus due to his close companionship with the Prophet and his dedication to preserving and transmitting his sayings.
According to this narration, a person who recites the specified Durood eighty times on Friday, immediately after offering the 'Asr Salat and before standing up from his place, receives two rewards:
This places the narration among a category of Hadith literature that promises exceptional reward for specific, time-bound acts of devotion — in this case, one tied to Friday, the most virtuous day of the week in Islamic tradition.
As with many popularly circulated narrations promising specific numerical rewards for specific acts, it is worth noting that such Hadith are often found in later devotional compilations rather than the primary, rigorously authenticated collections (such as Sahih Bukhari or Sahih Muslim). Scholars vary in their assessment of the authenticity of narrations of this type. Regardless of the precise grading of this particular narration, the underlying practice of sending Salawat upon the Prophet is well-established and encouraged in the Quran and authentic Hadith. Those interested in relying on the specific reward mentioned here may wish to consult qualified scholars regarding the narration's chain of transmission and status.
This narration encourages the recitation of a specific Durood — praising the unlettered Prophet and his family — eighty times immediately after 'Asr prayer on Fridays, with the promise of extensive forgiveness and reward. It reflects a broader tradition within Islamic devotional practice of linking specific numbers, times, and texts of Salawat to spiritual benefit, while its ultimate practice, as with any narration of this kind, is best approached alongside guidance from knowledgeable scholars.
So All Muslims read Durood Shareef as much as you can. Allah will surely bless us all because He is the greatest.
