It is recorded in a Hadith that he who reads the following Durud
1000 times on the day of Jumu’ah, will not die until he sees his abode in
Jannat (Jazbul Quloob – Azkaarul Jumu’ah pg.165)
اَلّلهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَّآلِهِ اَلْفَ اَلْفَ مَرَّةٍ

Hadrat Abu
Hurairah R.A. reports that Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam said, “Whoever
remains seated after the Asr Salaah on Friday, and before rising from his
seating place recites the following Durud eighty times, then eighty years of
his (minor) sins will be forgiven and the reward equivalent to the worship of
eighty years will be recorded for him (in his account of deeds).
