[ummtaalib]

1. It is obligatory upon every Muslim to
   recite Durud at least once in his lifetime. (Si'aaya p.38)
2. It is Sunnah Mu'akkadah to recite Durud
   after tashahhud in the final sitting of salaah. (Si'aayah p.38)
3. It is compulsory to recite Durud when the
   name of Rasulullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم is taken in a gathering.
4. If the name of Rasulullaah صلى الله عليه
   وسلم is taken a number of times in a gathering, then it is compulsory to recite
   Durud the first time. The rest of the times it will be Mustahab. According to
   Imaam Tahaawi þ it is
   compulsory at every time. (Si'aayah, Bahr ur Raa'iq vol.1 p.346)
5. It is correct to suffice on Durud, without
   reciting Salaam. (Al Qawl p.26)
6. If the wording of the Durud only has those
   of Salaat and not Salaam, then it is Mustahab to join the words of Salaam. If
   the Durud is repeated, then it will be Mustahab to join the words of Salaam now
   and then. (Nuzul ul Abraar p.129)
7. It is prohibited to join words to the
   forms of Salaat and Salaam narrated in the Ahadith. (Nuzul ul Abraar
