Hazrat Abu Hurairah (Radi Allahu Anhu) reports that Hazrat Rasulullah (SallAllahu alaihi wa Sallam) said, “Recite Durood upon me, for certainly it is a form of purification for you. Ask Allah Ta’ala to grant me the position of “waseelah”, which is a rank in the highest stages of Paradise that is reserved for only one person, and I hope that I am the one who is blessed with this honour and position.”
