Riyad as-Salihin, 373
'Umar bin Al-Khattab (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
I sought permission of the Prophet (ﷺ) to perform 'Umrah. He granted me leave and said, "Dear brother! Do not forget us in your supplications". ('Umar added): This is something I would not exchange for the whole world. Another narration is: He (ﷺ) said, "Include us, my dear brother, in your supplications." <b>[Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi, who categorized the Hadith as Hasan Sahih.]</b>.
وعن عمر بن الخطاب رضي الله عنه قال: استأذنت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم في العمرة، فأذن لي، وقال: "لا تنسنا يا أخي من دعائك" فقال كلمة ما يسرني أن لي بها الدنيا. وفي رواية قال: "أشركنا يا أخي في دعائك". حديث صحيح ((رواه أبو داود، والترمذي وقال: حديث حسن صحيح)).

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) The supplication of the traveler is readily answered, so a believer should be keen on taking good advantage of the times where supplications are answered.<br>
2) It is permissible for one to ask the righteous to supplicate in his favor if he aims thereby to let the supplicant receive the same good things as what he supplicates for the other, as implied by the Hadith that reads: “He who supplicates for his brother, the angel (commissioned for carrying the supplication to his Lord) says, ‘May the same be for you.’”
