Question
salaam

I read about a durood shareef which if you read after asr on friday without moving from your place you get 80 years worth of of rewards written down for you and 80 years of sins forgiven.

1) My question is if you do this and you do sins for say any years less than 80, will they not count and you wont get punished for them because 80 years of your sins have been forgiven by reading this durood shareef?   and also if you dont do any good deeds after that it wont matter because 80 years worth of good deeds has benn written down for you for reading this durood shareef?

2) is it true that the most virtuous thing you can do in islam is to recite durood shareef on Sayyidina rasoolullah (s.a.w) because Allah (s.w.t) does this himself aswell?

3) can you tell me the names of any powerful durood e paak that you know so I can search them on internet.

I will be forever greatful if you answer these questions clearly and in detail so I may have a more clear idea about the status of durood shareef and may Allah bless you till eternity.

Answer
It means that you will be rewarded immensely although as humans you will sin and you will be forgiven every time you beg forgiveness.

Darood is among the virtuous things in Islam but all of this after observing your fard duties.

Darood Ibrahimi.
