The Prophet (salallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said:



Frequently send salutations (Durood Shareef) on me on Friday during the day and night. Whoever sends one salutation (Durood Shareef) on me, Allaah will send ten to him.
Collected by Al-Bayhaqi in his Sunnan. Shaykh Al-Albani graded this hadeeth as being "Hasan" in Saheehah 1407.
The saheeh Sunnah indicates that there is a time on Friday when du’aa’s may be answered, and no Muslim happens to ask Allaah for good at that time but He will give it to him, as it says in the hadeeth narrated by al-Bukhaari (5295) and Muslim (852) from Abu Hurayrah who said: Abu’l-Qaasim (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “On Friday there is an hour when, if a Muslims happens to pray at that time and ask Allaah for something good, He will give it to him.There are many views on when this time is. The most correct are two views: Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: The most correct of these views are two which are mentioned in proven ahaadeeth, and one of them is more likely than the other.


The first is that it is from the time when the imam sits on the minbar until the end of the prayer. The evidence for this opinion is the report which was narrated by Muslim in his Saheeh (853) from Abu Burdah ibn Abi Moosa al-Ash’ari who said: ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Umar said to me: Did you hear your father narrating from the Messenger of Allaah (S) concerning the (special) hour on Friday? I said: Yes, I heard him say: I heard the Messenger of Allaah (S) say: “It is between the time when the imam sits down, until the prayer is over.The second view is that it is after ‘Asr, and this is the more correct of the two views. This is the view of ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Salaam, Abu Hurayrah, Imam Ahmad and othersAbu Dawood (1048) and al-Nasaa’i (1389) narrated from Jaabir ibn ‘Abd-Allaah that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Friday is twelve hours in which there is no Muslim who asks Allaah for something but He will give it to him, so seek the last hour after ‘Asr.” [Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani].


Allah’s Messenger (SAW) say “May Allah keep his face fresh (and radiant) who hears something from me and then conveys it exactly as he had heard it. Collected by Fasih ur Rahman“La Hawla Wa La Quwwata illa Billah” There is no power and strength except with Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala.
