Darood Nariya, also called Salat an-Nariyah or Salat al-Kamilah, is a well-known Salawat on the Prophet ﷺ that asks Allah to untie knots, lift distress and meet needs. It is widely read in Pakistan and India, and many people recite it a set number of times.
It is a composed Salawat. Its words are not from a hadith. This page gives the Arabic as Jamia Banuri Town prints it, with Roman, Urdu and English, and says plainly what the sources say about it.
درود ناریہ رسول اللہ ﷺ کی کسی حدیث سے ثابت نہیں، بلکہ اکابر کا مجرب وظیفہ رہا ہے۔ جامعہ بنوری ٹاؤن کے فتوے کے مطابق اس میں کوئی شرکیہ یا خلافِ شرع کلمہ نہیں، اس لیے اسے پڑھ سکتے ہیں۔ نیچے وہ الفاظ دیے گئے ہیں جو ہمارے ہاں پڑھے جاتے ہیں۔

درود ناریہComposed: Written by a scholar or a pious person. It is not a hadith text and not from the Qur’an.
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ صَلَاةً كَامِلَةً وَسَلِّمْ سَلَامًا تَامًّا عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا وَمَوْلَانَا مُحَمَّدٍ
Allahumma salli salatan kamilatan wa sallim salaman tamman ‘ala sayyidina wa mawlana Muhammad
اے اللہ! ہمارے آقا اور سردار محمد ﷺ پر کامل رحمت اور مکمل سلامتی نازل فرما،
O Allah, send a perfect blessing and a complete peace upon our master and patron Muhammad,
صَلَاةً تَنْحَلُّ بِهَا الْعُقَدُ
salatan tanhallu biha al-‘uqad
ایسی رحمت جس کی برکت سے مشکلیں حل ہوتی ہیں،
a blessing by which knots are untied,
وَتَنْفَرِجُ بِهَا الْكُرَبُ
wa tanfariju biha al-kurab
اور پریشانیاں دور ہوتی ہیں،
by which distress is lifted,
وَتُقْضَى بِهَا الْحَوَائِجُ
wa tuqda biha al-hawa’ij
اور ضرورتیں پوری ہوتی ہیں،
by which needs are met,
وَتُنَالُ بِهَا الرَّغَائِبُ وَحُسْنُ الْخَوَاتِيمِ
wa tunalu biha ar-ragha’ib wa husnul khawatim
اور مرادیں حاصل ہوتی ہیں اور اچھا خاتمہ نصیب ہوتا ہے،
by which wishes are reached and a good ending is granted,
وَيُسْتَسْقَى الْغَمَامُ بِوَجْهِهِ الْكَرِيمِ
wa yustasqal ghamamu biwajhihil karim
اور آپ ﷺ کے معزز چہرے کے وسیلے سے بادل سے بارش مانگی جاتی ہے،
and by whose noble face the clouds are asked for rain,
وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ
wa ‘ala alihi wa sahbihi
اور آپ ﷺ کی آل اور آپ کے صحابہ پر بھی،
and upon his family and his Companions,
فِي كُلِّ لَمْحَةٍ وَنَفَسٍ
fi kulli lamhatin wa nafas
ہر لمحے اور ہر سانس میں،
in every glance and every breath,
بِعَدَدِ كُلِّ مَعْلُومٍ لَكَ
bi‘adadi kulli ma‘lumin laka
ہر اس چیز کی تعداد کے برابر جو تجھے معلوم ہے۔
as many as everything that is known to You.
- Another wording of the same Salawat reads “‘ala sayyidina Muhammadin alladhi tanhallu bihi al-‘uqad …” (“the one by whom knots are untied”), with the pronoun returning to the Prophet ﷺ, and it ends “al-khawatim” without the ya. Jamia Banuri Town says reading it that way is also correct. The wording above is the one read in Pakistan.
What the sources say about Darood Nariya
Jamia Banuri Town, in two fatwas, says that the words of Darood Nariya are not established from any hadith of the Prophet ﷺ. It says that reading a Salawat whose words contain nothing polytheistic or corrupt in meaning earns the reward of Salawat, so the reward of Salawat is earned by this one too.
The same fatwas call it a trusted and tested practice (wazifa) of the pious, say that it is used for lawful needs and for relief from hardship, that reciting it 4444 times is more beneficial for the aim, and that no special permission is needed to read it. These are statements about practice, not rulings from the hadith.
Some scholars prefer that only the Salawat narrated in the Sunnah be recited as an act of worship (see the page on Darood Tanjeena for that view). Whichever view you follow, the Darood Ibrahimi remains the Salawat the Prophet ﷺ taught.
