English translation

1980. 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "No supplication is more readily responded to, than the supplication made for someone who is absent." (Da'if) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Gharīb, we do not know of it except from this route. Al-Ifriqī was graded weak in Hadīth. He is 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Ziyād bin An'um Al-Ifriqī. [And 'Abdullāh bin Yazīd is Abū 'Abdur-Raḥmān Al-Ḥubulī].

Arabic text

١٩٨٠ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌قَبِيصَةُ، عَنْ ‌سُفْيَانَ ، عَنْ ‌عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ زِيَادِ بْنِ أَنْعُمَ ، عَنْ ‌عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ ، عَنْ ‌عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَا دَعْوَةٌ أَسْرَعَ إِجَابَةً مِنْ دَعْوَةِ غَائِبٍ لِغَائِبٍ» هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ. وَالْإِفْرِيقِيُّ يُضَعَّفُ فِي الْحَدِيثِ، وَهُوَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ زِيَادِ بْنِ أَنْعُمَ، وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ هُوَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحُبُلِيُّ.

Commentary

Imām Nawawī's commentary on Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim (V.2, p.351) has it that the Prophet ﷺ said, "A believer's supplication made for his brother in his absence is more readily answered (since it is done with the sincerity of the heart)". When the angel attending a man hears him supplicating for something good for his brother in absentia, he responds by saying: "May Allāh grant your prayer and bestow similar good upon you".
