Clarification/References Needed

Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

On Sat night, I had a Milaad Shareef at my place, and Al humdu Lillah everything went as planned.

I heard a a couple of things that I am hoping someone can provide references to.

Statement 1
An angel is enlisted to pray for everyone present in Milaad Shareef Majlis (gathering) til the day of Qiyamah.

Statement 2
At any majlis where 3 hadiths of Prophet Mohammed Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam are mentioned, then it becomes Wajib to read/recite durood and Salaam on Prophet Mohammed Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam. If not, then an angel is enlisted to curse everyone present in such a Majlis (gathering) til the day of Qiyamah.

I am more concerned about the latter point, as I have been to a couple of Quran Daras programs, where there is Tafseer of a Surah, and a couple of references to Hadiths. However, no Salaam was done.

I've heard about the below Hadith, and I can relate to the seriousness of not reciting Durood/Sallam on Prophet Mohammed Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam.

Hadith:
On one occasion the sahaba Radi Allahu anhu brought the pulpit to the Prophet (Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam). As the Prophet (Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam) climbed each of the three steps he (Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam) said Ameen. After the Prophet (Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam) finished with his sermon and came back down the sahaba asked him (Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam): “Oh! Messenger of Allah, we have heard something from you that we have not heard from you before.” He (Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam) replied “Verily Jibreel alayhis 'salam came to me as I took the first step and said “Far away (cursed) is he who witnessed ramadhan and did not attain forgiveness”. And so I replied Ameen, so when I took the second step Jibreel alayhis 'salam said “Far away (cursed) is he who when your (Oh! Mohammad) name is mentioned he does not say salah upon you”. And when I took the third step Jibreel alayhis 'salam said “Far away (cursed) is he who witnessed both his parents or one of them in old age, and he did not enter Jannah because of them”. [Narrated by Tabarani, Ismael Al-Qadhi, and also Bukhari but with slightly different wording].

If someone can shed some light on the above two statements that would be great. Please advise me if I should post this thread in the "Ask Imaam" section.

Jazzak Allahu Khairan.

All Praise be to Allah who is the Lord of the Worlds, and may Endless Blessings be showered upon His Most Beloved, and Final Messenger of Islam, Hadrat Muhammad Mustafa Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa 'aalihi wa Sallam

In relation to your first statement, then there are beings and angels which pray and join in, in the Milad mehfil, but as far as praying til the Day of Judgement is concerned, I have not come across such a hadith, or statement by any other scholar.

It is wajib to recite the 'durud sharif' as soon as a hadith of the Beloved Messenger of Allah Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam is mentioned, as the chain of narration has the name of the Beloved Messenger of Allah Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam attached to it, so it is wajib to say Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam. An example of this is as follows:

'an Abi Hurayrata 'anin nabiyi Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam.'

After hearing the words 'Nabiyi', it wajib for everyone present to recite Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam.

This is the case whenever a hadith is mentioned with the Beloved Messenger of Allah Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam's name. There is no condition stipulating that it must be said after every three ahadith.


Jazak'allah for your question.
