Question
What is the reference for the following Salutation [Durud]:
Allahumma salli wa sallim wa barik ‘ala sayyidina Muhammadiw wa alihi kama la nihayata likamalika wa ‘adada kamalih.
Answer
This form of salutation [durud] is not sourced from Hadith. Rather, it is based on experience.
Shaykh Muhammad ‘Awwamah (hafizahullah) recommends that it be recited between Maghrib and ‘Isha Salah to assist with increasing one’s memory.
