Chapter 23: The Virtue Of Praying For The Muslims In Their Absence

Umm Darda' reported

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.

Safwan (and he was Ibn 'Abdullah b. Safwan, and he had been married to Umm Darda') reported

I visited Abu Darda's house in Syria. I did not find him there but Umm Darda' (was present at the house). She said: Do you intend to perform Hajj during this year? I said: Yes. She said: Do supplicate Allah for blessings upon us, for Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon hiin) used to say: The supplication of a Muslim for his brother at his back (in his absence) is responded so long as he makes a supplica- tion for blessings for his brother and the commissioned Angel says: Amen, and says: May it be for you too I I went to the bazar and met Abfi Dardi' and he narrated like this from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ).

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Safwan b. 'Abdullah b. Safwan with the same chain of transmitters.

Chapter 24: It Is Recommend To Praise Allah After Eating And Drinking

Chapter 25: It Is Recommended For The One Who Supplicated Not To Be Impatient. And Not To Say: "I Supplicated And Received No Response"

Abu Huraira reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said

The supplication of every one of you is granted if he does not grow impatient and says: I supplicated but it was not granted.

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying

The supplication of one of you is granted if he does not grow impatient and say- I supplicated my Lord but it was not granted.

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying

The supplication of the servant is granted in case he does not supplicate for sin or for severing the ties of blood, or he does not become impatient. It was said: Allah's Messenger, what does:" If he does not grow impatient" imply? He said: That he should say like this: I supplicated and I supplicated but I did not find it being responded. and theu he becomes frustrated and abandons supplication.
