Al-Jazuli then moved east to Medina where he would recite the whole of the Dala'il al-Khayrat twice daily at Muhammad's grave in al-Masjid an-Nabawi. The Dala'il Khayrat has since been seen as a testament of love and passionate longing for Muhammad. From the time Imam al-Jazuli wrote it, for the better part of five, six centuries now, this work has been recited on a weekly basis throughout the Ummah. And countless people complete this compendium of sending blessings upon the Prophet ﷺ on a weekly basis, beginning it on a Friday and finishing it on the eve of Friday; on Thursday evening. And there are others who actually complete it just in one day. There are many gatherings where it is completed in one majlis reciting the whole of Dalail al-Khayrat in sending blessings upon the Prophet ﷺ . When we cannot compare these great works that the scholars engage in and weigh which one is better than the other. So the scholars of hadith served this Ummah by gathering the words that had emanated from the noble mouth of the Prophet ﷺ and they gathered them and collected them and spread them in the Ummah. Sheikh Muhammad bin Sulaiman al-Jazuli (W. 872 H) was the author of the Dalailul Khairat wirid. He is a Moroccan scholar, the wirid Dalailul Khairat was composed by him during his journey of knowledge in the City of Fez. He once isolated himself for worship (Khalwat) for 14 years, after which he focused on educating his students. There are so many people who repent at his hands, so that he is known as a scholar who is famous for his charisma. He also has many followers spread all over Morocco.

In many manuscripts and printed copies, division of the text in quarters, thirds and a half can also be seen. Our salaf devoted huge time for this act only due to the importance it holds. The uniqueness of Dalailul Khairat salawat is that Imam Jazuli had collected all the salawat at that time and compiled these in a book form, he had structured them into daily recitation pattern.Adaab :There is a Adaab were you repeat some lines 3 times each and on the Last section there is a section were you must repeat 14 times each line. After his death, one his misguided followers – Umar ibn Sulayman al-Shayzami, known as al-Sayyaf (‘the executioner’), who claimed prophethood, took possession of Imam al-Jazuli’s body and placed it in a bier taking it with him on numerous expeditions of pillage and plunder in the Sus region, over a period of twenty years. It is said that he never lost a battle while he was accompanied by the body of Imam al-Jazuli.

Historical Importance of Dalail al-Khayrat

There are also those who are given a diploma reading dalail accompanied by reading the Qur'an which must be completed for a certain period, such as one month or 41 days depending on the provisions of the mujiz. Practices like this are usually called the Dalail Qur'an. As well as various other different kinds of amaliyah according to the recommendations of mujiz. This is none other than to make the practice of Dalailul Khairat's wirid more perfect. And historically there appeared gatherings of remembrance, that would be established, that became known as Majalis al-Dalail – Gatherings of the Dalail. This incident, in addition to his state of profound love for the Prophet ﷺ, led the Imam to compose the Dalail ul-Khayrat. After the incident, he took an oath that he would author a work about sending prayers upon the Prophet ﷺ.
