Hadhrat Abdullah ibn Abbas (RA), a companion of the Holy Prophet (saw), says that the Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) said that if a man recites the following Durood Shareef once, then 70 angels will be busy in writing the rewards for 1000 days, for the reciter of this Durood. “JAZAALLAHU ANNA MUHAMMADAN SALLALLAHU ALAIHI WASALLAMA BE MAHUA AHLUHU” My question is, if a person recites the above durood 2 times, then 2nd group of another 70 angels, be writing the rewards for another 1000 days? And so on …..Please explain this hadith.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

There are several Hadiths of the same meaning which imply that seventy angels will be busy in writing the rewards for one thousand days for the person who recites the aforesaid durood. However as far as the question ‘if someone recites it twice then what is it reward’ is concerned we could not find it mentioned anywhere, but it is hoped that Allah may appoint another group of the angels to record the reward. See: Fazail Amal/ vol. 1, p. 43, pub. Farman Book Depot/ chapter: Fazail Durood.
