حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى هُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ‏:‏ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم‏:‏ ثَلاَثُ دَعَوَاتٍ مُسْتَجَابَاتٌ لَهُنَّ، لاَ شَكَّ فِيهِنَّ‏:‏ دَعْوَةُ الْمَظْلُومِ، وَدَعْوَةُ الْمُسَافِرِ، وَدَعْوَةُ الْوَالِدِيْنِ عَلَى وَلَدِهِمَا‏.‏

Mu'adh ibn Fadalah narrated to us. He said: Hisham narrated to us, from Yahya—I mean Ibn Abi Kathir—from Abu Ja'far, who heard Abu Hurayrah say: The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: “Three supplications are answered, with no doubt about them: the supplication of the wronged person, the supplication of the traveler, and the supplication of parents against their child.”

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
  • حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ،

    The Arabic includes the chain from Mu'adh ibn Fadalah through Abu Ja'far; the witness omits it.

    Should the English witness be marked as abridged for this occurrence?

  • وَدَعْوَةُ الْوَالِدِيْنِ عَلَى وَلَدِهِمَا‏.

    The Arabic preposition على indicates against/upon in this clause, which reverses the direction expressed by the witness.

    Should the witness's reversal of the supplication's direction be marked as a material divergence?
