Imam Amir-ul-Mu'mineen Ali [a] said
"Reciting salutations on the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) wipes the sins sooner than the time taken by water to extinguish fire. Reciting salutations on him is better than freeing a few slaves. It is better than sacrificing lives and fighting with a sword in the way of Allah."

"Whenever the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) is mentioned, send salutations on him excessively. One who sends salutation on the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) once, the Almighty Allah will order one thousand rows having a thousand angels each to send salutation on that person. Everything in this universe will send salutations on him because of the salutations of Allah and the angels. Allah and His Messenger (s.a.w.s.) are wary of ignorant and proud people. Hence no one hesitates reciting salutation on the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) except an ignorant and a proud man."

Imam Ali ibn Musa al-Rida [a] said
"One who recites: Innallaaha wa malaa-ikatahu yus'alloona a'lan nabiyyi yaa ayyuhalladheenaa aamanoo s'alloo a'laihi wa sallimoo tasleemaa. Allaahumma s'alli a'laa muh'ammadinw wa aali muh'ammad immediately after Morning and Maghrib Prayers, the Almighty Allah will fulfill his one hundred wishes out of which seventy will be fulfilled in the world and thirty in the hereafter." The narrator asked, "What is meant by the salutation of Allah, angels and the believers?" Imam (a.s.) replied, "The salutation of Allah is sending down of His mercy. The salutation of angels is his glorification and the salutation of the believers is a supplication for him. One of the secrets of Aale Muhammad is in the salutation on the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) and his progeny: Allaahumma s'alli a'laa muh'ammadinw wa aali muh'ammadin fil malaa-il a-a'laa wa s'alli a'laa muh'ammadinw wa aali muh'ammadin fil mursaleen. Allaahumma't'i muh'ammadal waseelata washsharafa wal faz"eelata waddarajatal kabeeah. Allaahumma innee aamantu bimuh'ammadinw wa lam arahu falaa tah'rimnee yaumal qiyaamati ru-yatahu warzuqnee suh'batahu wa tawaffanee a'laa millatihi wasqinee min h'auz"ihi mashrabar rawiyyan saa-ighan hanee-al laa az'ma-u ba'dahu abadaa. Innaka a'laa kulli shai-in Qadeer. Allaahumma kamaa aamantu bimuh'ammadinw wa lam arahu fa-a'rrifnee filjinaani waj-hah. Allaahumma balligh rooh'a muh'ammadin a'nnee tah'iyyatan katheeratanw wa salaamaa. One who recites this salutation thrice everyday in morning and in the evening, his sins are wiped off and forgiven. He will remain happy forever. His supplications will be accepted. His wishes will be fulfilled. His earnings will improve. He will get assistance against his enemy. Causes of good deeds will come to him and he will get the company of prophets in high gardens."

"One who recites: Rabbi s'alli a'laa muh'ammadinw wa ahli baitih a hundred times in a day, Allah will fulfill his hundred wishes during that day thirty of which are related to this world while remaining seventy are related to the hereafter."

Imam Ja'far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates that one day the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) asked Amirul Momineen (a.s.), "Should I give you a glad-tiding?" He replied, "May my parents be sacrificed on you, only you give the good news every time." The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, "A few moments ago, Jibraeel told me with surprise that one who recites salutations on my progeny after reciting salutation on me, the doors of heaven will be opened for him. Angels recite seventy salutations on that person. Surely, his sins vanish like dry leaves fall off from a tree. Allah says, 'O My servant! Your supplications are accepted and you are fortunate. O angels! Recite seventy salutations on him and I will recite seven hundred salutations on him'." The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) went on to say, "One who recites salutation on me but does not do so on my progeny there are seventy veils between that salutation and heaven. The Almighty Allah tells him, 'There is no reply or fortune for you. O angels do not bring his supplication to Me if he does not supplement his salutation on the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) with the salutation on his holy progeny'. If one does not join the salutation on my Ahle Bayt along with mine his prayers will remain in the veil (unanswered) forever."

The narrator asked Imam Ja'far Sadiq (a.s.), "Which is the best deed on Friday?" Imam (a.s.) replied, "Reciting Durood on Muhammad (s.a.w.s.) and his progeny a hundred times after Salaat-e-Asr on Friday. It is better to recite more than that."
Sawab al-A`amal, Page 207 link
It is narrated from Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) or Imam Ja'far Sadiq (a.s.) that One should recite the following supplication after Friday Prayer: Allaahumma s'alli a'laa muh'ammadinw wa aali muh'ammadin al-aus'iyaa-il marz"eena bi-afz"ali s'alawaatika wa baarik a'laihim bi-afz"ali barakaatika was salaamu a'laihi wa a'laihim wa a'laa arwaah'ihim wa ajsaadihim wa rah'matullaahi wa barakaatuh. The Almighty Allah writes a hundred thousand rewards for the reciter and wipes a hundred thousand sins and fulfils a hundred thousand wishes and increases the position by a hundred thousand levels."

It is narrated that a person recited: Allaahumma s'alli a'laa muh'ammadinw wa ahli baiti muh'ammad in the presence of Imam Ja'far Sadiq (a.s.). Imam (a.s.) said, "You did not include us in this salutation? Don't you know that only the Ahle Bayt (a.s.) are only the five holy personalities of the Kisa (blanket)." He asked, "How should we send salutation?" Imam (a.s.) replied, "Say: Allaahumma s'alli a'laa muh'ammadinw wa aali muh'ammad so that even we and our Shias are included in it."

"One who offers Salaat but does not recite durood on the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.), his Salaat will be on any other way except that of Paradise." The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, "If I am mentioned in someone's presence and he does not recite durood, he will go to Hell and remain away from divine mercy." And he said, "If I am mentioned in someone's presence and he does not recite durood, he has lost the way of Paradise."
