The Dala’il Al Khayrat is continously recited the world over. For years now, in the neigborhood of our atelier in Jordan, people come together to recite it every Monday night.
“It is related that one day the author, Imam al Jazuli, went to perform his ablutions at a nearby well but could not find any means to draw the water up. A young girl saw him and called out, “You’re the one people praise so much, and you can’t even figure out how to get water out of a well?”
So she came to the well and spat into the water, which welled up until it overflowed and spilled across the ground. Imam al Jazuli made his ablutions, and then turned to her and said, “Tell me how you reached this rank.” She said, “By saying the Blessings upon him whom beasts lovingly followed as he walked through the wilds (Allah bless him and give him peace).”
Imam al Jazuli then vowed to compose the book of Blessings on the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) which came to be known as his Dala’il al Khayrat or Waymarks of Benefits.” (Source)
