English translation

2895. It was narrated from Safwān bin 'Abdullāh bin Safwān said that he was married to a daughter of Abu Dardā'. He came to her and found Umm Dardā' there, but he did not find Abu Dardā'. She said to him: "Do you intend to perform Hajj this year?" He said: "Yes." She said: "Pray to Allāh for us to grant us goodness, for the Prophet ﷺ used to say: The supplication of a man for his brother in his absence will be answered. By his head there is an angel who says Āmin to his supplication, and every time he prays for his brother, he says: "Āmin, and the same for you." He said: "Then I went out to the marketplace where I met Abu Dardā', and he told me something similar from the Prophet ﷺ." (Sahih)

2895 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ صَفْوَانَ، قَالَ: وَكَانَتْ تَحْتَهُ ابْنَةُ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ فَأَتَاهَا، فَوَجَدَ أُمَّ الدَّرْدَاءِ وَلَمْ يَجِدْ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ، فَقَالَتْ لَهُ: تُرِيدُ الْحَجَّ، الْعَامَ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَتْ: فَادْعُ اللَّهَ لَنَا بِخَيْرٍ، فَإِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَقُولُ: " إِنَّ دَعْوَةَ الْمَرْءِ مُسْتَجَابَةٌ لِأَخِيهِ بِظَهْرِ الْغَيْبِ، عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ مَلَكٌ يُؤَمِّنُ عَلَى دُعَائِهِ، كُلَّمَا دَعَا لَهُ بِخَيْرٍ، قَالَ: آمِينَ، وَلَكَ بِمِثْلٍ " قَالَ: ثُمَّ خَرَجْتُ إِلَى السُّوقِ فَلَقِيتُ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ، فَحَدَّثَنِي عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمِثْلِ ذَلِكَ

Commentary

One may request a pilgrim to supplicate for him. One should care for making supplications at the virtuous places. Praying for an absent person is highly rewarding act which brings the mercy and blessings of Allāh. Praying of angels means acceptance of the supplications since they pray only by the command of Allāh.
