Angles make duʿāʾ for the one who makes duʿāʾ for others

muslim:2732a – Aḥmad b. ʿUmar b. Ḥafṣ al-Wakīʿī > Muḥammad b. Fuḍayl from my father > Ṭalḥah b. ʿUbaydullāh b. Karīz > Um al-Dardāʾ > Abū al-Dardāʾ

the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “There is no believing servant who supplicates for his brother behind his back except that the Angels say: May the same be for you.”

مسلم:٢٧٣٢أ – حَدَّثَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ حَفْصٍ الْوَكِيعِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَرِيزٍ عَنْ أُمِّ الدَّرْدَاءِ عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ مُسْلِمٍ يَدْعُو لأَخِيهِ بِظَهْرِ الْغَيْبِ إِلاَّ قَالَ الْمَلَكُ وَلَكَ بِمِثْلٍ.»

Angels make dua for the one who makes dua for this brother

muslim:2732b – Isḥāq b. Ibrāhīm > al-Naḍr b. Shumayl > Mūsá b. Sarwān al-Muʿallim > Ṭalḥah b. ʿUbaydullāh b. Karīz > Um al-Dardāʾ from my husband

that he heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, “He who supplicates for his brother behind his back (in his absence), the representative Angel [assigned] to him says: Amen, and it is for you also.”

مسلم:٢٧٣٢ب – حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَخْبَرَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ سَرْوَانَ الْمُعَلِّمُ حَدَّثَنِي طَلْحَةُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَرِيزٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَتْنِي أُمُّ الدَّرْدَاءِ قَالَتْ حَدَّثَنِي سَيِّدِي

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: «مَنْ دَعَا لأَخِيهِ بِظَهْرِ الْغَيْبِ، قَالَ الْمَلَكُ الْمُوَكَّلُ بِهِ: آمِينَ وَلَكَ بِمِثْلٍ»

abudawud:1534 – Rajāʾ b. al-Murajjá > al-Naḍr b. Shumayl > Mūsá b. Tharwān > Ṭalḥah b. ʿUbaydullāh b. Karīz > Um al-Dardāʾ > Sayyidī Abū al-Dardāʾ

I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: When a Muslim supplicates for his absent brother the angels say: Amin, and may you receive the like.

أبو داود:١٥٣٤ – حَدَّثَنَا رَجَاءُ بْنُ الْمُرَجَّى حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ أَخْبَرَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ ثَرْوَانَ حَدَّثَنِي طَلْحَةُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَرِيزٍ حَدَّثَتْنِي أُمُّ الدَّرْدَاءِ قَالَتْ حَدَّثَنِي سَيِّدِي أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِذَا دَعَا الرَّجُلُ لأَخِيهِ بِظَهْرِ الْغَيْبِ قَالَتِ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ آمِينَ وَلَكَ بِمِثْلٍ

ahmad:27558 – Ibn Numayr > Fuḍayl / Ibn Ghazwān > Ṭalḥah b. ʿUbaydullāh b. Karīz > Um al-Dardāʾ

[AI] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Verily, the supplication of a person is answered as long as he does not call for something sinful or for cutting off the ties of kinship, and he does not rush."

أحمد:٢٧٥٥٨ – حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا فُضَيْلٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ غَزْوَانَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ طَلْحَةَ بْنَ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ كَرِيزٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أُمَّ الدَّرْدَاءِ قَالَتْ

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّهُ يُسْتَجَابُ لِلْمَرْءِ بِظَهْرِ الْغَيْبِ لِأَخِيهِ فَمَا دَعَا لِأَخِيهِ بِدَعْوَةٍ إِلَّا قَالَ الْمَلَكُ وَلَكَ بِمِثْلٍ

ذِكْرُ اسْتِحْبَابِ كَثْرَةِ دُعَاءِ الْمَرْءِ لِأَخِيهِ بِظَهْرِ الْغَيْبِ رَجَاءَ الْإِجَابَةِ لَهُمَا بِهِ

ibnhibban:989 – Muḥammad b. al-Ḥusayn b. Mukram Bi-al-Baṣrah > Muḥammad b. Yazīd al-Rifāʿī > Ibn Fuḍayl from my father > Ṭalḥah b. ʿUbaydullāh b. Karīz > Um al-Dardāʾ > Abū al-Dardāʾ

There is no believing servant who supplicates for his brother behind his back (in his absence) that the Angels do not say: The same be for you too. (Using translation from Muslim 2732a)

ابن حبّان:٩٨٩ – أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ مُكْرَمٍ بِالْبَصْرَةِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الرِّفَاعِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَرِيزٍ عَنْ أُمِّ الدَّرْدَاءِ عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَدْعُو لِأَخِيهِ بِظَهْرِ الْغَيْبِ إِلَّا قَالَ الْمَلَكُ وَلَكَ بِمِثْلٍ وَلَكَ بِمِثْلٍ»

bayhaqi:6431 – Abū ʿAbdullāh al-Ḥāfiẓ > Abū al-Faḍl b. Ibrāhīm > Aḥmad b. Salamah > Isḥāq b. Ibrāhīm > al-Naḍr b. Shumayl > Mūsá b. Tharwān al-Muʿallim > Ṭalḥah b. ʿUbaydullāh b. Karīz al-Khuzāʿī > Um al-Dardāʾ > Sayyidī

My husband reported that he heard Allah's Mes- senger ﷺ as saying: He who supplicates for his brother behind his back (in his absence), the Angel commissioned (for carrying supplication to his Lord) says: Amen, and it is for you also. (Using translation from Muslim 2732b)

البيهقي:٦٤٣١ – أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أنبأ أَبُو الْفَضْلِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ثنا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أنبأ النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ ثنا مُوسَى بْنُ ثَرْوَانَ الْمُعَلِّمُ حَدَّثَنِي طَلْحَةُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ كَرِيزٍ الْخُزَاعِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَتْنِي أُمُّ الدَّرْدَاءِ قَالَتْ حَدَّثَنِي سَيِّدِي

أَنَّهُ سَمَعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ دَعَا لِأَخِيهِ بِظَهْرِ الْغَيْبِ قَالَ الْمَلَكُ الْمُوَكَّلُ بِهِ آمِينَ وَلَكَ بِمِثْلٍ

رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ

"مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَدْعُو لأَخِيهِ بدَعْوةٍ بِظَهْرِ الْغَيبِ: اللَّهُمَّ أَخِى فُلانٌ فَاغْفِرْ لَهُ، إلا قَالتِ الْمَلائِكَةُ: آمِين وَلَكَ بِمِثْلٍ".
